24.01.2022 Now here's a thing (from Andy Bounds) about meetings and how to make them useful and interesting: Each attendee has 30 seconds max to share their: Best thing since the last meeting biggest success etc Worst thing their biggest challenge, and how theyre planning to overcome it Next thing their main focus for next week... This means that, after just a few minutes, you know the most important things everyones been doing. You then use the rest of the meeting to: Learn from/copy each others best bits Help people overcome challenges Align activities for next week. Goodness. Could meetings actually be useful? See more

24.01.2022 Coaching is built around what people need to know and do to improve whatever it is they’re about. Simple. The trouble is that, regardless of income, education, status, position in society, race or religion, many/most people don’t know what it is they need to be doing. Further, they don’t even know that there is something missing. Don’t believe me? Look at the last four Prime Ministers in Australia. Despite all their achievements, they exited by being overthrown in one way or ...another. Yes, I’m being apolitical here as I don’t want to get into an argument about their achievements and I’m sure they all achieved something (actually, I’m not sure at all but I’m being polite). When you work with me, we undertake three forms of coaching. The first involves you telling me what it is you want/need, the second is helping you to identify what it is you don’t know, the third step is then taking the steps necessary. Simple. A great example of this in action is Curtis Carroll. https://www.ted.com//curtis_wall_street_carroll_how_i_lear

24.01.2022 Sometimes you know it can only get better than it is right now! When you lied on your CV about having previous sheepdog experience. (Taken by @CharlieMack7301; cf Australian Institute of Ecological Agriculture facebook page)

23.01.2022 Beating failure is not easy. If it was everyone would do it. No-one would procrastinate.

23.01.2022 Here's a message from Akash Karia who has an email newsletter How to Win at Almost Anything who writes: I just picked up a copy of Patrick King's new book, CONQUER, and in it he shared an example that resonated very powerfully with me. In 2010, the British cycling team was taken over by a new manager, and until that point had zero accolades in its history. At the next Olympics, they won a slew of the available gold medals in cycling.... How was this possible? Through focusing on marginal gains. Marginal gains are when you attempt to improve every part of your process by 1%. These changes aren't noticeable on a daily difference, but they compound and accumulate greatly. Besides the obvious tweaks to training and nutrition regimens, the new manager researched optimal pillows for sleep during races, instituted new hand-washing rules for better health -- everything possible to gain a slight edge. We can implement this in our lives as well. The difference between making a choice that is 1% more optimal and 1% less optimal is nothing on a daily basis, but will compound. So, where in your life can you create marginal gains? Simple ones include: parking at the end of a parking lot to burn more calories, buying one fewer bag of chips a week, or sleeping 5 minutes earlier each week. Everything adds up! I highly recommend Patrick's book.

23.01.2022 Those Intelligent Change people just keep them coming (do you subscribe yet?). Their latest email news contains: "Factfullness - Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World and Why Things are Better Than You Think" (argue amongst yourselves whether that is a recognised word or not). They talk about Hans Rolling's book which shows the 'world still has real concerns, but this book will arm you with the facts that we are globally moving in a positive direction despite the alarmist... media headlines'. And they mention his TED talk; which is great. He's a hypnotic presenter: https://www.ted.com//hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_you Look out for how clever chimpanzees are and check out the 4:40 spot where he shows significant improvement in income and life expectancy - although there are some bubbles which just move around at the bottom which cause me a great deal of concern. To find out more detailed information you can also go to their free website: https://www.gapminder.org/ Be careful, you can spend hours here. The point? Next time you think things aren't improving Approximately 90% of people worldwide now have access to clean drinking water, up from 80% in 1990. Even in impoverished sub-Saharan Africa, 75% of the population now drink clean water, up from 56% in 1990. All regions have seen progress. The question? What part have you played in making the world a better place? Sorry, just following the corporate line won't cut it. See more

22.01.2022 I recently came across an interesting character on You Tube (thanks to the Intelligent Change weekly newsletter): Gary Vaynerchuk. Hate Mondays, dragging your sorry self to work, out of bed? Yeah, I used to as well. But as Gary points out, there is quite a lot to appreciate even if your job stinks, Check him out at [warning: course language. It may not be a good idea to watch this at work with the volume turned right up]: https://www.youtube.com/watch And, if youre over 40.... Anywhere over 40. Watch this one. Time to turn the re-runs on TV off and start moving again. Cause now is the time to re-start and move towards what you really want to do and have fun doing it. Just like the 18 22 year olds. Lots of challenges? Yep. But no excuses because you have enormous advantages as well and there is plenty of room in the world for what you want to do. Watch it all (it takes all of 6minutes 37 seconds) especially from 5:55 onwards. Just great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stD9RycSXiU Cheers Gerry

22.01.2022 I knew it! Everyone tells me that, just before I start a new task, activity whatever, the cup of coffee I just want to have is procrastination. Hah! I always knew they were wrong! I've subscribed to Tiff Hall's fitness thing and she's sent a message about the power of a cup of tea Oh, yeah, right, I'm going to listen to that? Oh, ok >>>... 'Put the kettle on. It's time to clear our minds. Have your special cup, where did that come from? Who picked the tea leaves? Where did they come from? Let go of everything that happened up until this moment today notice the colour of the tea, feel its warmth Go and sit in a nice peaceful place and enjoy' the thousand year old ceremony in which you have just participated. Then take those feelings of with you to the next part of the day See more

21.01.2022 How Important Is Sleep? Getting sleep is super important in allowing your brain to "flush" itself. Waste products that are filtered through the brain prevent neurological illnesses like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The process of flushing takes six to eight hours.

19.01.2022 Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world theyve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. Its an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. Its a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

18.01.2022 Who is Pauletta Washington? Yep, I had to look her up too. She once said to her husband, Denzel: 'To get something you never had, you have to do something you've never done'. In the talk in which he refers to her (at the 4.20 mark), Denzel also talks about the ghosts who will stand around your death bed: ghosts of things you've never done, potential you've never realised, the ideas you never acted on, the talents you didn't use and they're standing around your bed angry, disappointed and upset because they go to the grave with you (4.33) This video is entitled "Fall Forward" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cgxSL926N8 If you're not making mistakes you're just not trying hard enough. Relax and stop fighting. Go with it.

18.01.2022 Thanks to Mig (correct) for leading me to this graphic. Greatly appreciated.

18.01.2022 I've just read a wonderful email from Robert Middleton who urges us to tap into our creativity: 'In a 1968 study of creativity in children at 5 years old, 98% of them tested at a genius level of creativity. Yes, almost all children are creative geniuses. Its not special. Its normal. ... This tells us that almost all of us start out with a whole lot of creativity. It comes as standard equipment. We are creative at a very high level right from the start of life. And now the bad news: Just 5 years later, at age 10, the percentage of children that tested at the genius level went down to 30%. A 68% decrease. Yikes! Sounds like an equipment failure. And it gets worse: By the age of 15, the percentage of creative geniuses plummeted to 12%. And even worse: By the time adults hit 30, only 2% were still creative geniuses! From creative geniuses to creative idiots in 25 years.' * * * I resigned after gaining a hard earned PhD (I was one of the dumb kids at school) and 38 years as a teacher and principal I can only fully agree. Ken Robertson (an English speaker/author) notes that we start school with a packet of coloured pencils and finish with a black pen (Out of Our Minds). And John Gatto (New York City Teacher of the Year in 1989, 1990, and 1991, and New York State Teacher of the Year in 1991) says Ive come to believe that genius is an exceedingly common human quality, probably natural to most of us The trouble was that the unlikeliest kids kept demonstrating to me at random moments so many hallmarks of human excellence insight, wisdom, justice, resourcefulness, courage, originality that I became confused. (Dumbing us down, p xix). He has two other books Im aware of: Weapons of Mass Instruction and The Underground History of American Education. Didn't do well at school? There's a good reason for that. And it's not because you're stupid, or a slow learner or some other label. It's because 'the game is rigged, like a crooked roulette wheel, so the majority lose rather than gain from the experience' https://ttfuture.org/files/2/pdf/gotto_interview.pdf

16.01.2022 A great talk about procrastination... Tim Urban's "Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator" is excellent. What does your instant gratification monkey tell you and how can you teach it to be more productive. 14 minutes that will help you get hours more added to your day: https://www.ted.com/playlists/370/top_ted_talks_of_2016

16.01.2022 And how can we stem the inevitable capitalist tide from turning something as simple as self-care into yet another thing to be bought and sold? ... It is learning how to stop trying to fix yourself and start trying to take care of yourself and maybe finding that taking care lovingly attends to a lot of the problems you were trying to fix in the first place. It means being the hero of your life, not the victim. It means rewiring what you have until your everyday life isnt s...omething you need therapy to recover from. It is no longer choosing a life that looks good over a life that feels good. It is giving the hell up on some goals so you can care about others. It is being honest even if that means you arent universally liked. It is meeting your own needs so you arent anxious and dependent on other people. It is becoming the person you know you want and are meant to be. Someone who knows that salt baths and chocolate cake are ways to enjoy life not escape from it.

After 42 years teaching and learning to be a teacher as well as the 13 years as a student (maybe more of this later) I can only wholeheartedly agree. Its high time to start valuing the student.... His talk is well worth 18 minutes of your time.

13.01.2022 You may have seen a sound grab of Snoop Dogg at his Hollywood Hall of Fame star unveiling being snickered at by TV presenters. As always with the media there is a more accurate version available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvpZ2mcUJWc It's not long: 4:36. Here you'll see he thanks a whole lot of people including those "believed in him when he didn't believe in himself". He even thanks those who competed against him since they made him stronger. Finally, "last but not least" he recognises the hard work he did to get where he is now. Shouldn't we all stand a little taller and recognise how much we do and the success we achieve?

12.01.2022 Are You Happy? Looking for some inspiration to get more out of life? Here is a quote from Steve Jobs: "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it."

12.01.2022 He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven Had I the heavens embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light,...

11.01.2022 Thanks to my good friend Rik at Soft Shadow I watched this TED talk this morning: https://www.ted.com//robert_waldinger_what_makes_a_good_li 12.47 long. It doesn't take a lot of time. Check out what he says with 6.28 to go: about bearing grudges. And look out for 50 seconds to go. Well worth watching.

10.01.2022 Like books? No, no ... the ones with paper ... remember? I made the mistake of looking at the Abe Books web site today and came across the 'Off the Beaten Path Bookstores'. What a fantastic list of wonderful book shops. See people's comments further down that page for other personal recommendations. I particularly like the reference to the shop with the motto "Books you don't need in a place you can't find." https://www.abebooks.com//off-the-beaten-path-bookstores.s Warning: There's something about the Abe Books site that makes you buy a book - even when you're "just looking". Check out the rest of their archives as well. A series of great lists containing more and more books you shouldn't buy until you get through all the ones at home you still haven't read.

10.01.2022 Familiar with MOOCs? Nope, I wasn’t either until a little while ago. Massive, Online, Open Courses. Conducted by a wide range of people and organisations covering pretty much every area I can think of.... Check out Coursera for example: https://www.coursera.org/ As they say, ‘free online courses from top universities. Short, do-able, interesting and free no hidden catches. I thoroughly enjoyed John Covach’s The Music of the Beatles (University of Rochester). What a guy. Fascinating course. Music’s Big Bang: The Genesis of Rock ‘n’ Roll by David Carlson (University of Florida) what brilliant as well. And, if you have ever struggled to learn anything, know someone who is a student or just learning something, or are just interested in how you can optimise your learning (in a fun, easy going and fascinating way) go for Learning How to Learn: Powerful Mental Tools to Help You Master Tough Subjects taught by Barbara Oakley, Terrence Seinowski and Becca Judd. Hosted by the University of California, San Diego. Don’t let the university platform put you off. These three aren’t stuck in what you and I might assume is the academic mould.

09.01.2022 Don't ever let the fact that you don't know what you're doing hold you back.

07.01.2022 A few people have been talking to me lately about looking at life when things aren't quite so rosy. Have a look at Ze Frank, the monsters in his head and how he deals with them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z86fraIyMwQ Don't we all have them? Maybe not the same ones but there they are. What about the one that says, "last time you did this you messed it up remember" instead of, "I tried this before and I'm pretty sure I know how to do it now" or the one I used when I was learning another language, "I just can't be worse at this today than I was yesterday. Despite how I feel!". And how many things does that apply to in your life?

07.01.2022 Find out who you are and be that person. That's what your soul was put on this earth to be. Find that truth, live that truth and everything else will come Ellen DeGeneres

07.01.2022 Now I know! Check out Tim Urban's look at social interactions! He covers the hug thing and tackles the kissing thing (which also has me quite baffled): "Anyway, just when this couldnt get any harder, somewhere along the line, society decided it was a good idea to bring kisses into the mix. Kisses were doing just fine in the romantic and parent-child arenas, and its unclear why kisses have any part in any other situation. Unless its specifically part of your culture, no one... under the age of 18 kisses people when they greet them, and as you move into the adult world, youre just expected to figure out when to kiss people during a greeting. And there are multiple versions of kiss toothe light cheek kiss, the near-cheek air kiss, the absurdly drawn-out one-kiss-on-each-cheek-as-if-were-an-Arabian-prince skitall further complicating the situation and putting us in deep peril of the dreaded Accidental Mouth Kiss". So when is the air kiss required? What is the difference in the requirements between the air kiss and light cheek kiss? Is the accidental mouth kiss actually accidental? Is there a subconscious intention? Or is it that brain thing which means that, concentrating on the "don't" thing, you do it: don't drop that screw; that plastic part looks brittle, careful you don't break it; I hope I don't ride my motorbike into that gate yes, sadly, all true.

06.01.2022 Just this minute, I received an email from a friend who works in a very remote area in north Australia. To get to her workplace you fly out of Darwin and then take a small plane ride to her location. Now it's school holidays and she can finally have a break, there's a cyclone looming so the small planes may not be able to fly. Even if they do, she might not be able to go back to Darwin if the connecting flight doesn't arrive due to the weather. This week she suffered from a p...ower outage and could not access the internet or phones for two days. It's hard to describe how a looming cyclone makes to you: isolated and at the mercy of the wind and tides with the potential of being cut off for an indeterminant time and having to deal with extensive building and environmental destruction as well as personal injury All this coupled with the anxiety of maybe not being able to go on a well deserved holiday And this looms every wet season. How fortunate are we who don't have to deal with those things. See more

06.01.2022 Such a powerful image. Whether you're a manager or a parent a colleague, friend, take time to consider how you're communicating.

05.01.2022 Just came across an article in the Harvard Business Review from 2014 (https://hbr.org//how-to-make-yourself-work-when-you-just-d) entitled 'You Just Don't Want To'. 'Can you imagine how much less guilt, stress, and frustration you would feel if you could somehow just make yourself do the things you dont want to do when you are actually supposed to do them? Not to mention how much happier and more effective you would be?' Yep, I can imagine that ... Well, there's probabl...y 1 of 3 good reasons why you're doing that: 1. You are putting something off because you are afraid you will screw it up. 2. You are putting something off because you dont feel like doing it. (My favourite. How often is that the case??) 3. You are putting something off because its hard, boring, or otherwise unpleasant. (My other favourite. Closely related to 2 eh?) So: 1. Adopt a prevention focus to avoid a loss rather than give yourself a positive reward. 2. Make like Spock and ignore your feelings. Theyre getting in your way. You don't feel like it tough. 3. Use if-then planning. If it's Wednesday and I haven't done it yet too bad, do it (see 2 above). I suggest you read the whole, 1 page article. It should give you a few clues. When I was teaching students would often utilise a great deal of creativity and time deploying a range of techniques to avoid doing something distasteful So, there's a 4th technique: "If you'd started when you were supposed to, you'd have it done by now! And now, you still have to do it!" See more

04.01.2022 In a world of getting things done, prioritising, goals, achieve, achieve, achieve sometimes we just might stagger a little: 'While ideally we would knock off the right task to move us from point A to B quickest, there will be a lot of puttering along the way. Sometimes we will be ineffective. Sometimes we will clean our socks before doing the most important task first. Better to have clean socks and an unfinished project rather than dirty socks AND the unfinished project :)' Productivity Planner email

04.01.2022 https://www.ted.com//sugata_mitra_the_child_driven_educati This amazing person shows how effective coaching can be with diverse and fascinating groups. And, if you are a parent, grand-parent or teacher working with children in any way, you just have to watch this amazing talk.... Watch out for the most amazing parts at 7:58 minutes when the group tells Sugata that they don't understand anything, at 9:38 where he talks about The Method of the Grandmother and at 15.08 where his spelling momentarily confused the children.

04.01.2022 I've been reading a little about the power of appropriate rest lately. Alex Soojung-Kim Pang's book, simply titled Rest is a great, absorbing, easily readable work on the subject. The cover blurb gives a good insight: 'This might be the book to finally persuade us that downtime isn't in conflict with good work; rather, it is an essential ingredient of it'. How many of us and how many work places are addicted to the idea that long hours are admirable - to the point of damaging our mental and physical health and our relationships?
