Open Culture Ultimate Guide To Group Coaching You might think coaching groups is basically about coaching people in a group setting or maybe you think it’s the same as your 1:1 sessions except now, you coach more than one person at a time. Here’s the thing… Those definitions are wrong or at least they’re incomplete. Coaching groups is not just about getting a bunch of people together and then coaching them for 5 minutes each until everyone has had a turn. And it’s definitely NOT an extension of private coaching in a group setting -- it’s this type of thinking that causes clients to feel unheard or unseen, and they don’t get the results they’re looking for. The truth is there’s far more to coaching groups than most people realize. First thing you need to get straight… Coaching groups is about more than the act of coaching and being coached It’s about the connection, communication and community that comes from not just you interacting with your clients but group members interacting with each other. This is where the magic happens.

Australia Post - Sustainability Why Collect Stamps video transcript Australians have been collecting stamps for over 150 years, a couple of decades after stamps were first issued in 1840. Kids would collect stamps as a hobby, asking their family and friends to save stamps from letters and envelopes they received. News about valuable stamps, like the famous American stamp called the US Inverted Jenny from 1918, which sold in 2016 for over one and a half million dollars! and the world’s most valuable stamp, the 1856 one cent British Guiana Stamp, worth over 12 million dollars! has led to a huge interest in stamp collecting. The value of stamps is determined by their age, their scarcity and their condition. We’ve also explored the depths of our solar system where we took a thrilling ride through space and visiting all 8 planets; from the inhospitable heat of Mercury and Venus through to the eerie, cold gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. All you need to start your own collection is a stamp album and some stamps!
Home Postmortem Week 4 – Lessons about being daring – Emotionshop Daring In the emotion wheel, daring is in the joyful quadrant. To feel daring is to want to take risks, to choose a path perhaps shaky and treacherous, in order to achieve success. Our prototypes this week hence sought to evoke the feeling through various manners of risk. Melody’s game, Bet your hearts out and Win those diamonds, pits two players against each other in a game where the score each gets depends on how much higher a goal they set for themselves than the other player, and whether that goal is achieved. In Mac’s game, Born, the player plays as a roundish pod that bursts out into a world of sharp dangers, wide gorges, and never-ending heights. The player starts off with a group of fellow circles in the middle of the woods in Joseph’s game, Forest Escape. Players play as a hacker in Rahul’s game, Start Hacking. Here are some of the lessons we got from our prototypes Daring Lesson #1: Rewarding risky behavior works – but mostly on players who are inclined to take risks.

State Library Where to Find Good Educational Videos There’s a right and a wrong way to use videos in the classroom. Not all videos are primed for instructional use, and not all instruction lends itself to video. However, pairing a great video with the tools students need to engage with it can lead to a deeper understanding of or alternate perspective on what’s being taught. Check out the September Education Update article “Showing Videos in the Classroom: What’s the Purpose?” to learn three criteria for selecting an effective video and find tips for helping your students “make the shift from vegging out to tuning in for learning.” Once you have identified the criteria to look for, there are tons of places to find both instructional and supplemental videos on whatever topic you’re teaching.

We Need More Leaders | Start With Why Johnny Bravo, the A-10 pilot who believed that his greatest asset was the empathy he had for the men on the ground, learned what it really takes to be a leader a few years after his experience in Afghanistan. It was after he landed his plane following a training mission in the Nevada desert. His crew chief, the airman assigned to look after his aircraft, came over to greet him and help him out of the jet. On that day, the crew chief was off his game and distracted, and Johnny Bravo snapped at him. He expects the people around him to be at their best so he can be at his best and support those on the ground. His crew chief apologized. Leadership is not a license to do less; it is a responsibility to do more. And that’s the trouble. Everything about being a leader is like being a parent. Sir Isaac Newton, the seventeenth-century English physicist, offered as his Second Law of Motion the formula f = ma. However, there is another variable that we often neglect.

Discover your signature strengths and use them in a new way each day. Research has found this intervention gives a boost to happiness and a decrease to depression, with some studies finding effects lasting up to six months. Below are examples of how this intervention might be applied with each of the 24 universal, character strengths of the VIA Classification. I created a Pinterest board that provides images for many of these “new ways,” including at least one image for each strength. After you take the VIA Survey, consider one of the following ideas with one of your signature strengths: 1) Creativity: Think of one of your problems and two possible solutions. 2) Curiosity: Try a new food for the first time, preferably from a culture different than your own.Take a different route home and explore a new area or neighborhood. 3) Judgment (critical thinking): 4) Love of learning: 5) Perspective (wisdom): 6) Bravery (courage): 8) Honesty:
