Futurist Jim Carroll

"It's all fairway when you put in the work!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

If you golf, you know instantly when you hit a great tee shot. And as a speaker, you know instantly when one moment has suddenly changed some lives and an industry. As a golfer and speaker, I've had both moments.

Let's start with golf. In my last few rounds - including yesterday - I've been hitting 100% of fairways consistently. This is a good thing, but it's only happening because I've put in the work. My irons are also, as the vernacular goes, 'dialled in,' pretty consistently hitting within 10 or 20 percent of my target. Golfers obsess over stuff like this.

As a futurist and innovation speaker, I also obsess over the quality of my work.

If you golf, you will know that today is the opening round of the PGA of America golf tournament.

One of my career highlights was back in 2010 when I keynoted the annual general meeting of the PGA of America, the organization that hosts this tournament. Most folks don't understand who the real 'PGA' golfer is who would be a member of this association, and who were at my talk. The folks in the room were not the Rorys and Brysons and Xanders- it was the hard-working local club pro at your golf club. The one who teaches lessons and runs the pro shop, who joins you on Mens Day or Ladies Day, manages the golf course, and hires all the other professional golf staff. Some of them might have competed on tour as a PGA Tour player (a different association!), but many simply love the game of golf and have built a career out of successfully running your local golf club.

And back in 2010, unlike today, the industry they were working in was facing a reckoning.

And somehow or other, I was selected to be the opening keynote speaker for their AGM. My job was to come in and provide insight into the trends that might provide them with opportunities for growth in the future. And that was the entire focus of this AGM - the meeting tagline was 'Grow the Game.' Not only that, my marching orders were to help shake them out of their complacency and encourage them to make innovative thinking the core of what they do.

I piped it.

Grâce à René Descartes, "le péril de la folie a disparu de l'exercice même de la Raison. Celle-ci est retranchée dans une pleine possession de soi où elle ne peut rencontrer d'autres pièges que l'erreur, d'autres dangers que l'illusion. Le doute de Descartes […] bannit la folie au nom de celui qui doute […]
Désormais la folie est exilée."

Michel #Foucault in "Histoire de la folie à l'âge classique"

"Il s'avère qu'en fait, la plupart des gens sont mal à l'aise face à la différence et le sont encore plus quand on le leur fait remarquer."

"Des études ont montré que les enfants commencent à remarquer et à punir les traits autistiques dès leur plus jeune âge. Les êtres humains renforcent les normes sociales en blessant les personnes qui les enfreignent".

@broadwaybabyto
The hatred is not because of you.
I wonder if people were scared of diversity. Some may fight back.

"It turns out that, actually, most people are uncomfortable around social difference and get considerably less comfortable when you point it out."

Transmission de question pour les personnes ayant une CMI priorité (exclusivement celle-ci)

Auriez-vous remarqué des lieux accueillant du public qui faisaient des tarifs spéciaux ou avaient des services pour les personnes handicapées, incluant la CMI priorité, qui aujourd'hui n'incluent plus la CMI priorité (donc ne concernent plus que la CMI invalidité) ?

Si oui, pouvez-vous me fournir des exemples ?

Merci pour votre aide !

TW: thread sur l'inaccessibilité causée par les valides qui n'en ont rien à carrer des autres

J'habite à Lyon 8, juste à côté d'un arrêt du tram T2, et depuis une bonne semaine je ne peux plus prendre ce tram parce que :

1. des travaux du Sytral pour agrandir le quai du tram ont découverts une cavité qu'iels essaient de réparer

2. le Franprix en face de l'arrêt de tram a fermé et ils y font des travaux...

Dans le jargon de l'Education Nationale, je demande l'enseignant référent #ULIS et l' #AESH : pas facile de s'y retrouver!
Dans "Bobine et Pop-corn", les lecteurices se retrouvent plongé.es dans la vie d'une classe ULIS, ce dispositif qui permet aux enfants en situation de #handicap de poursuivre leur scolarité.
C'est dire le rôle essentiel joué par Amaïa et Noël, les personnages qui incarnent ces fonctions dans cette histoire!

Récapitulatif de certains thèmes présents dans le roman « bobine et popcorn » en couverture sur le visuel. Portraits dessinés de deux personnages.

Autism is an illegible feature

"How disabling it is depends as much on your social circumstances as it does on your symptoms."
"It turns out that, actually, most people are uncomfortable around social difference and get considerably less comfortable when you point it out."
