Shriver >>Brené Brown: Shame, Empathy, and the Wholehearted Journey Essay partially excerpted from The Gifts of Imperfection Turning down speaking invitations is a vulnerable process for me because years of pleasing and perfecting have left me feeling less than comfortable with disappointing people. Not only does the “good girl” in me hate letting people down, but I sometimes struggle with the fear that if I say no everyone is going to stop asking. My new commitment to setting boundaries comes from the twelve years I’ve spent studying wholeheartedness and what it takes to make the journey from “What will people think?” The most connected and compassionate people of those I’ve interviewed set and respect boundaries. Well, last year I received an email from a man who was really angry with me because I wasn’t able to speak at an event that he was hosting, which conflicted with a family birthday. The email was mean-spirited and jam-packed with personal attacks. Trust me, it was not “good girl” wording. I hit Reply instead of Forward.

The Power Of Vulnerability As A Coach There’s a common conundrum that many coaches suffer from at some point in their careers. That conundrum can sound like any of the following: “I’m a relationship coach but I just got divorced. “I’m a business coach and I’m having some cash flow issues in my own business right now. “I’m a health coach and I just gained unwanted weight because I haven’t been taking care of myself. Does any of this sound familiar yet? There is a common misconception in the coaching industry that assumes coaches need to have their lives together. If you’re a relationship coach then you’ve obviously been married for 25 years and have the best marriage ever. If you’re a business coach then you must be raking in six or seven figures in your business. If you’re a health coach then you must never gain weight and never suffer with not wanting to exercise. The craziest part about these assumptions is that most of the time coaches are placing them upon themselves. The bad news is none of us are perfect. Ajit Nawalkha
CAIR >>NY Calls for Probe of Bullying Resulting in Expulsion Hearing for Muslim Students Muslim civil rights group asks police to investigate possible bias motive for vandalism to Muslim family’s home (NEW YORK, NY, 3/16/2016) – The New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NY) today called for an outside investigation of the alleged bullying that resulted in two Muslim brothers at Williamsville East High School in Williamsville, N.Y., facing an expulsion hearing. Family members say the Muslim are being punished after they were forced to defend themselves from anti-Muslim bullies. The students report that the bullying has been occurring for years. This weekend, the family’s house was pelted with eggs and rocks, resulting in broken doors and windows. An expulsion hearing with Williamsville’s superintendent was scheduled for Monday, but has been rescheduled for Friday.

Les meilleures séries TV US en anglais VO avec sous-titres pour s'améliorer en Anglais Date de mise à jour 29/09/2015 On parle souvent de l’importance de regarder des films en version originale (VO) afin d’améliorer la compréhension orale et le vocabulaire d’une langue étrangère. Comme je l’avais déjà dit dans l’article Les meilleurs films à voir pour s’améliorer en espagnol, il s’agit d’une méthode agréable et très efficace pour apprendre et faire des progrès. Les séries TV sont idéales pour un apprentissage « pas à pas » : on commence avec les sous-titres en français, qui seront remplacés après quelques saisons par les sous-titres en anglais pour finir sans sous-titres. Si vous n’avez pas trouvé les sous-titres d’une série, je vous conseille de chercher sur le site Open Subtitles ou bien d’essayer Fleex, un service vraiment sympa et utile qui permet de regarder en ligne les séries en anglais avec les sous-titres. Comme pour les films en version originale, je publierai périodiquement des listes de séries à voir dans le but d’améliorer la compréhension orale. Friends Lost

EdWeek >>Studies Probe 'Ecology' of Bullying Published Online: May 18, 2010 Published in Print: May 19, 2010, as Studies Probe 'Ecology' of Bullying In the mid-1990s, a pair of Canadian researchers videotaping children on playgrounds made a simple observation that helped shift experts’ views about bullying: When children bullied other children, they rarely did it alone. “People began to realize that bullying wasn’t just a problem between two kids,” said Susan M. Research now suggests that bullies, their victims, bystanders, parents, teachers, and other adults in the building are all part of an ecology in schools that can either sustain or suppress bullying behaviors. Understanding the full measure of bullying is especially important now as districts, states, and federal education officials step up their efforts to combat the scourge in schools. Most recently, Massachusetts became the 42nd state to enact an anti-bullying law. Mixed Record Finding a program that’s been shown to work in every school context, however, won’t be easy. Ms.

Audre Lorde on the Vulnerability of Visibility and Our Responsibility, to Ourselves and Others, to Break Our Silences “Not speaking and speaking are both human ways of being in the world, and there are kinds and grades of each,” Paul Goodman wrote in his anatomy of the nine kinds of silence shortly after Susan Sontag penned her masterwork on the aesthetic of silence as a creative choice. “The impulse to create begins — often terribly and fearfully — in a tunnel of silence,” Adrienne Rich wrote in her beautiful meditation on writing and how silence fertilizes the imagination. But against these fecund conceptions of silence stands silence of a very different kind — the oppressive muting of dissenting, divergent, and minority voices, imposed first from the outside and then from the inside. Lorde writes: I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood. Turning to the audience — and, across space and time, to us — Lorde issues a clarion call for introspection:
Thanksgiving-anglais From which city did the Mayflower depart? The Pilgrim Monument in Provincetown commemorates the Pilgrims' first landing in New England. How many days did it take for the Mayflower to reach the New World? How many people were there on board that ship? John Alden (a barrel-maker)and his wife. During their first winter in the New World the Pilgrims suffered from starvation, cold,and disease. The Pilgrims met the chief of a local Indian tribe. This chief and 90 of his braves were invited to the first Thanksgiving. What food was probably not on the Pilgrims' menu? Thanksgiving day did not become an official national holiday until 1863, until the proclamation of President Today Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the Thursday of November in the United States.

There's a Difference Between Privacy and Secrecy Source: Photographee .eu/Shutterstock "Matt" came into my therapy office because he was depressed. He'd been through a lot in the past year, and he was in rough shape. He'd been a victim of domestic violence for years and recently got divorced. After several sessions, it became clear why he was struggling to impress potential employers: He couldn't stop talking about the painful experiences he'd endured. He thought that telling everyone about his past — immediately after meeting them — made him authentic. Matt was convinced he was "owning his story." How to Know if Your Story Owns You If you feel like you must tell your story to everyone — regardless of the time or the place — your story owns you. Perhaps you feel like you have a "secret." That means your story still has a lot of power over your life. The Dangers of Letting Your Story Own You Choosing to keep your story to yourself doesn't mean you aren't authentic. You don't need to force yourself to be vulnerable to everyone you meet.
