Description

Professor Robert Kirby, Professor of Clinical Education and Surgery at Keele University Medical school will be working with Major General Norman Kirby, OBE, late Director of Army Surgery to produce a talk about the medical aspects of the First World War. There are usually major medical and surgical advances during conflict. Between 1914 and 1918 these advances had to deal with new ways of fighting, a new intensity of conflict and new types of weapons, all on a scale never seen before. Gunshot wounds, blast injuries, and the management of large numbers of casualties all required changes in organisation, training and skills. The medical establishment (and also military and political leaders) needed to develop new techniques and different ways of working to deal with the large numbers of wounded and also to attempt to keep the troops in as healthy a state as possible in the trenches. The lessons learnt had benefits for population health, and improvements in medical and surgical treatment benefited civilians as well as the armed forces. Home educated until the age of ten, Robert found life at school a little difficult. Six years of anxiety and quietness followed and whilst he didn’t quite know how to navigate social circles, he found a passion for acting. He soon realised that the skill of an actor could be stolen and used outside the rehearsal room until believed – a little confidence, a voice that could be heard and an energy that starts to engage people. Friends were found and sense of self gained. Hungry to learn more, he followed in the steps of Hugh Bonneville, Daniel Craig, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Helen Mirren by joining the National Youth Theatre and furthered his training at London based Drama School Rose Bruford (Pat from Eastenders went there!). Certain at this point that the skillset of a good actor is the ability to communicate superbly and wanting to spread that far and wide, he founded People People with the support of the Prince’s Trust in 2017 to do just that. He trained as an Executive Coach with Henley Business School and has created the People People Way, fusing psychology, acting tools and coaching principles to partner with people to enhance their full communicative potential.

Robert Kirby is something of a notorious writer in Utah. He spent 26 years as a humor columnist for the Salt Lake Tribune. In that time, he never shied away from lampooning the powerful, the self-righteous and more often than not — himself. His writing made a lot of people mad, but it also made a lot of people laugh.

Robert Kirby: What I was referring to is the basic human inability to appreciate how our behavior belies our intentions. In police work, it was easy to understand because you're catching people at their worst moments. Go to the worst family fights you've ever seen — where there's blood on the walls — and there's a picture of a temple marriage. I finally found a way to say what I wanted about the public without them having to “beef” me to the police chief. Working with a wide body of participant audiences including apprentices, graduates and middle, senior and C-suite leaders, he has a particular interest in the areas of wellbeing, presentations, personal impact, influencing and storytelling. My suspension. Yes, I was guilty of the things that they said. I'd like to make it clear that I've never touched anyone. I never attempted to seduce anybody. But it was in the way I spoke to people — which is an attempt to be humorous and it wasn't taken as such. It's the same reason you have a lot of comedians not willing to perform on college campuses anymore — because of people who take their causes so seriously, they can't understand the irony of their own behavior in it. Salt Lake Tribune Kirby’s column about flying lessons and the danger of letting “idiots” like him have a license had the misfortune of publishing on 9/11. Though he said he had few regrets, that is one piece the humorist said he wished he hadn’t written. Understanding that behind a good actor is a delicate combination of the inner world of a person and the communication choices they have available to them, Robert now focusses on using that understanding to support organisations and the individuals within them to expand their attitudinal, vocal, physical and linguistic capabilities.

But you also have to factor in the effect that you're having on the general public. I attempted to write a column about getting a pilot's license. I went out to Salt Lake Airport and signed up. I got in the plane with a pilot and we took off. I even got to fly the plane a little while. Went home and I wrote a column about how bad of an idea was to give idiots like me the idea that they could get a pilot's license. I mean, we'd land on freeways, crash into mountains and buildings and fly upside down over schools and that sort of thing. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Behind People People is a methodology that inspires and lasts far longer than the workshop itself, creating a re-skilling and up-skilling state of mind that deepens an individuals sense of empowerment and interpersonal freedom.

RK: No. I can look at it and see where others might think that I crossed the line. But my job was always — as I saw it — to get people to laugh about themselves. Bob Nelson: You started out as a cop and then became a humor columnist. You’ve said that both jobs required an appreciation for human irony. What did you mean by that?
