Min flickvän är svartsjuk. Underbart!!!! : Bob Hansson hos Passagen Blogg. Jag har en flickvän. Jag skulle kunna berätta för er i timmar om hur fantastisk hon är. Men jag är så tacksam att hon gång på gång visar sina små svagheter, och en av de mest fantastiska sakerna med henne, är det där som skulle kunna kallas, hennes brister. Hon kan vara löjlig och sur och anklagande och helt orationell och naturligtvis lite korkad. Och hon kan vara svartsjuk, ni vet inte hur tacksam jag är över att hon är det. För jag är det. Innan har jag varit tillsammans med människor som vägrat att erkänna någon svartsjuka, för svartsjuka har varit ngt fult, ngt som bara jag har haft. Jag har haft relationer där jag varit sämst på att gömma undan och därför på allvar trott att ja, jag är den dåliga, jag måste säga förlåt och sedan måste jag skärpa mig och inte vara den jag är utan någon annan som är bättre, ja, jag måste genast bli en bob.2.0.
Det är inte kul att förändras av tanken; om jag inte ändrar mig, förtjänar jag inte kärlek och kommer att förlora den. En talande bild. Émile var nästan tre år gammal och det var dags att skaffa ett nytt pass till honom. Vi var på polisstationen och polisen som skulle hjälpa till att ta passbilderna gav oss instruktioner: "Han måste sitta med huvudet rakt och titta in i kameran utan att le. Munnen måste vara stängd.
" Jag placerade Émile på bänken och sa till honom: "Nu får du hålla huvudet rakt, så här. Så ja, men titta inte på mig. Titta in mot kameran! " Han såg förvirrad ut. "Titta på det där hålet i mitten! " När vi fick passet och jag fick se bilden ville jag gråta. Speaking Truth to Power. Otto Scharmer's Blog. Amazon U-School on Global Well-being I am writing this on my return trip from launching the Global Well-being and Gross National Happiness (GNH) Lab with a journey to urban favelas in Brazil and to communities in the Amazon rainforest region near Belem and Santarem. It was fascinating to hear each Lab participant reflect on these community experiences from a different angle.
Where some of us (mostly participants from North America and Europe) saw a real sense of community, others, mostly from the Global South (who often have experiences of much deeper community), saw a lack thereof. Where some of us (from the Global North) saw unacceptable poverty, others, particularly from the Asian Global South, saw quite advanced conditions of material livelihood. In short: the Lab is a bit like a microcosm of our global community, a diverse group that spans all continents and sectors and many systems and ideologies. In the second part of the week we went to the Amazon rainforest area. 10 Proven Methods That Successful Startups Live By. Being an entrepreneur and starting your own business takes many things, and it’s not all about the cash. There are many inner demons to be dealt to get started and make your start-up successful.
Starting your own business helps you to face your fears, accept your limitations, and forces you to lay a foundation under those dreams. In fact, what looked good on paper may not make sense at all once the “real work” kicks in. Therefore, what ways can you improve your start-up to make an impact, and how can you solidify yourself in your market? 1. Confirmed Customers This is a set-in-stone rule that consummates entrepreneurial planning. 2. It’s been said over and over again, that having a good business plan is key to a successful business. I am a big believer in creating a business map and not so much a business plan per se. 3.
Living below your means is a maxim that applies to businesses as well. 4. Loyalty, veracity, and transparency are all linked. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Summary. Integrity: The price of the power to change | nick jankel. Enabling and crafting change (in our own life and in the world) is so elemental to the art of leadership that it could stand as a decent enough definition in itself of the whole concept. In the past seven years I have had many soujourns through what we might call the ‘change space’ – through corridors of governments all over the world; in and out of major non-profits; up and down massive quangos and around and about myriad community and social enterprises (along with a fair few media companies, publishers and talent agencies). Time and time again I have been struck by what I can only describe as an unmistakable and profound lack of integrity; one that has surprised me having spent so long serving multi-nationals at the highest levels (before my shift towards a fully purpose-focused career) and rarely encountering such challenges when working with them.
Perhaps synchronicity is in the air (isn’t it always?) For this month saw me riffing on this theme in interesting ways. Again to Rumi: Tribal leadership. How does it affect your company culture? In under 10 years Zappos grew to achieve a billion dollars in annual gross merchandise sales, while simultaneously making Fortune magazine’s ‘100 Best Companies to Work For’ list. Success that was driven primarily by repeat customers and word of mouth – something your company probably depends on for cashflow. While their brand has come to be known for delivering excellent customer service, their priority is surprisingly not customer service – it’s cultivating company culture. Zappos believe if they get culture right, most of the other stuff – such as delivering great customer service or building an enduring brand or business – will happen as a natural by-product of the culture. They’re serious, even offering to pay new employees 5K USD if they chose to leave within the first 6 weeks – if the culture doesn’t fit.
So for the next few minutes let’s look at how you can cultivate culture in your own workplace by developing tribes: What is a Tribe? What is Tribal Leadership? To learn, unlearn & relearn « Shared tracks. Once in school I was taught to: 1) Work like a robot 2) Never leave my own comfort-zone 3) Like the rules 4) Never ask “Why? 5) Be afraid of making mistakes 6) Have minimal faith to others 7) Be dependent 8) Never to experiment 9) Always need external motivation 10) Always do as little as possible Now in my professional life I try to learn, unlearn and relearn everyday to do the exact opposite of the above.
BACKGROUND A typical lesson today (40 min, then you get tired (bored) and need to change subject) is about first knowing what kind of lesson it is: Then you are supposed to go through the content of the lesson, the goals and which tasks that are to be performed. Now then, what’s wrong with this? In the classroom, it should be quiet enough for everyone to get to work in peace and carrying out the work within the framework and according to instructions. Whatever it is, the security in the work give a certain training in to stay in the safety-zone. Well, you see little friend. Like this: Children and the Olympic century « The Learning Planet.
I’ve had blogger’s block. I’ve been brewing a post, waking up with fully formed phrases ready to write here. But my own words make me choke and I don’t know that you’ll want to hear them either. I’ve been thinking about children and their future, after their abandonment by the politicians at the Rio+20 Summit. When even scientists like Stephen Emmott give their considered opinion that ‘we’re fucked’, how can we say we love them and carry on destroying their world?
It’s the kind of thinking that raises hackles a little because it can seem sentimental. There’s too much love in it. Whatever the reason, we’re uncomfortable talking about loving our children. I talked a bit about the Leysdown tragedy, the centenary of which was on 4 August this year. In the run up to the 1st World War, there was a build up of anxiety about impending war because of the naval arms race between Germans and British over the new Dreadnought warships. London hosted the Olympics in 1908. Here are some suggestions: Coming to ‘Help’ « Kufunda Learning Village. One woman’s journey from wanting to help to learning to listen by Claudia Zehl Mahachi “My name is Claudia, I am coming from Germany and I am here in Zimbabwe to help”- that was my introduction when I arrived in Kufunda Village the first time; a 19 year old girl with the urge to do something “useful” before starting to study.

Claudia and Tsitsi when Claudia first came to Kufunda Full of energy and completely certain that I would change the world within the next three months, I walked to the garden, where Silas was busy weeding the spinach.

How Social Entrepreneurs Who Need Money Can Get Noticed. “Do good” business owners seeking funding should target investors looking to put their money to work to make positive social or environmental change. But how to get on their radar? One new way to make your company known to these "social investors" is through a new online searchable database for social entrepreneurs. It's called GIIRS, short for Global Impact Investing Rating System. It analyzes a company’s social and environmental performance and rates it against peers. The initial analysis costs between $2,500 and $15,000, depending on your business size. Companies with less than $500,000 in revenue may be able to negotiate special pricing, according to the GIIRS website.
Less than a year old, the database is being used by an initial group of about 20 investors and 60 private equity and debt funds. Related: B Corps: The Next Generation of Company? Curious?

Jag vill varna för att denna text innehåller beskrivningar av sexuella övergrepp. Idag blev det klart att Julian Assange får asyl i Ecuador. Det innebär, som det verkar just nu, att han inte kommer att förhöras angående våldtäktsanklagelser i Sverige.
Det är mycket beklagligt då jag anser att ifall man anklagas och kallas till förhör så bör man infinna sig och utredas så att man antingen kan bli åtalad eller friad från misstankar. Men det är inte det jag är intresserad av att diskutera just nu, istället är det ett fenomen jag stött på när man pratat om Assange som är intressant. Varför är det inte konstigt då? ”The group guessed correctly 50% of the time.
Det riktigt skrämmande dök dock upp när samma forskare i en annan studie frågade 92 män i åldern 18-46 vilka citat de identifierade sig med: The results revealed that overall, more of the men agreed with the rapists, only changing their minds when the source of the quote was revealed. Vad var det för citat då? Follow the Light Bearers. A radical different way to look at leadership and change. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. " Matthew 19:14 A sense of wonder When I met Elena Simons for the first time I was taken by her fragile and at the same time very strong spirit.
She had a very independent mind and just started using art as a way to change the world for the better. She called her work fungement. She had a kind of insecurity about her and would ask many people for help, ideas or active support. People like Elena, when she started Wonder, are those people, mostly very young, who have a delightful spirit. They lead by asking for help and support, or just invite you to join the fun. How do they make you feel?
Do you know such people, even if its only one? A very new kind of change making What if we instead on focussing on problems, interests and political sides, we invested in supporting the light bearers. Severn Suzuki.
