WhatIff We Stop The Bias?
It's show week again with the AV industry descending on #InfoComm24, so here is a throwback to #ISE24!
I was lucky enough to get some time to talk to Cerys Dron and Chandra Leung from Leyard Europe about how their first #ISE show had been, what the interactions had been like and what we could be doing better!
There were definitely some great points, but there were some not so great points too - have a listen!
If you are heading around the show floor, whether at #Infocomm or #LondonTechWeek or anywhere really, do give a thought to those who are working in these windowless, highly stimulating, noisy environments that we love so much for hours and hours each day!
And if you notice a younger team member, who maybe from a minority group, try to be patient, ask the question you intended to ask, and don't assume that they won't know the answer! Let's #BreakTheBias!

WhatIff We Challenged Stereotypes? - Part 2

What an absolute privilege to spend some time with the wonderful Kylie Kendrick from Durham University at #ISE2024 this January in Barcelona! We all have bias - I admit that when I think of e-sports, I imagine gamers to be mainly Caucasian males, but in fact there are more women / non-binary players now, and considering how long Kylie has been playing, females have been doing pretty well in the...

In this final part both Caroline and I share some of our every day experiences, simple things - as separate incidents, nothing too shocking, but each remind us of the times that we were seen as 'different' and not 'white' before being seen as the people we are, and then treated differently as a result! I have often described being 'of colour' as walking with a stone in my shoe my whole life - a...

Caroline and I continue the conversation about collective responsibility - how comfortable do you feel in challenging discrimination or racism in your workplace? Do you notice or recognise that some people have had to work to harder to overcome their areas of discrimination, to hide elements of their personality, background or culture in order to 'fit in'? How many people have changed or shorte...

Iffat asks Russell Harpham and Dan Rowe #WhatIff we could break the stigma around men’s mental health? I am pretty sure most of us have heard, and maybe some of us admit to having used, the phrase 'he needs to grow a pair!' in response to a man struggling with their mental health issues. #MentalHealth doesn't discriminate!

    Great show! Happy to help with the purge! 😁😈 As for what Richard Hutton said, I don't actually blame millennials or Gen Z for anything I blame the boomers and my Gen X compatriots, we're the problem. The younger generation wants to work, but the older generation doesn't want to adapt to the way things are now, they want things to be as they've always been because that's how they get to live a good life by their standards. At the end of the day, we're all susceptible to be purged at any given day, the world changes around us, and we are responsible for changing with it or getting left behind. The purge can just be a self-purge by refusing to adapt, you find yourself staring at the backside of the future as it passes you by. Cheers to #AVJam -- great show!

    Great talk again Iffat, I liked when Bas said "what about me, I'm a working father" - it hurts both sides of the arguments, because oftentimes the man is not seen as a caregiver when they are or the one for love which they can be, so they're not allowed to take off from work for the family moments, or events. Thankfully things are changing, but still long ways to go. Congrats on the great panel! I especially enjoy that its not really about AV, it's about the people working, they just happen to be in the AV industry! Cheers to you!

    Interesting feedback, the P series are not a one size fits all but each designed for specific user persona, i use a P15 with Dual 27" and i tell people as you did, if you want a bigger screen get a 32" Samsung or LG stick a P5 or 15 on top and a sync or headset too. The Beauty of the P21 is that 1 USB connection not 1 USB for the camera 1 HDMI for the screen, 1 USB for the speaker phone and then being able to mute and unmute from the buttons with a visual light without finding your mouse pointer and the teams or zoom app. This is my high-level recommendation on the p series choice. P5 - level up from your inbuilt laptop camera adds 1080p stick your Bluetooth in the back great low light handling and can be detach as a document camera etc good for all P15 - for those that have a dedicated home office space maybe large and or dual displays and can use the speakers etc and want the best quality 4k video with framing maybe you also create videos and webinars youtube videos 😁 P21 - Great for non technical employees that have a small laptop and want a slick looking second screen camera and audio in a kitchen or bedroom they can plug in with one cable when home working , its also great for putting in video pods or booths in offices again for users to easily connect to for calls and of course all these assets can be managed and tracked centrally through Lense

    • @JPWard
      @JPWard 3 роки тому

      Neil, I don’t see how the P21 can go in a pod if you need to install drivers? Unless, you make the software standard build & that means a business change & I just don’t see that happening. & the lights? 🤣😂

    This bugs me to no end and sadly I think it is just us that care. My wife and I sit and watch news broadcasts together and she knows when I've stopped listening and started stewing over the crappy audio and video. Definitely a resi opportunity there to outfit someone's home office with the proper gear to join these broadcasts from their house.
