G'day, this is Ken Simpson and you are listening to Episode 12 of the show.
An interesting conversation this week around reading, thinking and resilience. Stay tuned to the end of the show for a free give away and a new feature of the Black Stump podcast that is about to be launched.
This week I am chatting with a guy who came to this field after a career in the military and with a background in security management. He is ann educator and evangelist for resilience and thinking. No surprise then that he has written a book entitled "Resilient Thinking - Protecting Orgs in the 21st Century". He has established a well respected Masters program in Organisational Resilience, and is currently Head of School Management and Professional Studies at Buckinghamshire New University in the UK.
Listen and learn from Phil Wood.

As I hinted during the chat with Phil, starting in November the last episode of the month will be the Black Stump Book Club. A time to focus on a single book or author, explore their thinking and talk about the book.
It will be a better experience if you have read the book ahead of time, and perhaps you might even have questions you would like to ask the author.
To mark the launch of Book Club, and to promote greater reading and reflection in the industry, Phil has made the extract of Chapter 6 of his book available to listeners. It is free when you subscribe to the Book Club newsletter. There is a link on the website, and in the show notes in your podcast app if you are listening on your phone or tablet.
I hope you find Phil’s reflective questions useful.
As always if you can add a review or rating on iTunes that is much appreciated. Until next week, remember that resilience is a journey not a destination.
