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. How can I coach people if I couldn’t make my own relationship work?” “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 bad news is none of us are perfect. The good news is vulnerability is hot right now.

Home :: Browse by subject :: Education :: Community-Based Research, or CBR, is a mix of innovative, participatory approaches that put the community at the heart of the research process. Learning and Teaching Community-Based Research shows that CBR can also operate as an innovative pedagogical practice, engaging community members, research experts, and students. This collection is an unmatched source of information on the theory and practice of using CBR in a variety of university- and community-based educational settings. Developed at and around the University of Victoria, and with numerous examples of Indigenous-led and Indigenous-focused approaches to CBR, Learning and Teaching Community Based-Research will be of interest to those involved in community outreach, experiential learning, and research in non-university settings, as well as all those interested in the study of teaching and learning.

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. Des chercheurs américains ont confirmé que regarder des films avec sous-titres dans la langue original est efficace pour la compréhension (sauf pour les ultra débutants). 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. Comme pour les films en version originale, je publierai périodiquement des listes de séries à voir dans le but d’améliorer la compréhension orale. Les séries dites “sitcoms” (ex.

Charities Try New Ways to Test Ideas Quickly and Polish Them Later Ben Gose in the Chronicle of Philanthropy: “A year ago, a division of TechSoup Global began working on an app to allow donors to buy a hotel room for victims of domestic violence when no other shelter is available. Now that app is a finalist in a competition run by a foundation that combats human trafficking—and a win could mean a grant worth several hundred thousand dollars. The app’s evolution—adding a focus on sex slaves to the initial emphasis on domestic violence—was hardly accidental. Caravan Studios, the TechSoup division that created the app, has embraced a new management approach popular in Silicon Valley known as “lean start-up.” The principles, which are increasingly popular among nonprofits, emphasize experimentation over long-term planning and urge groups to get products and services out to clients as early as possible so the organizations can learn from feedback and make changes. Nonprofits developing new tech tools are among the biggest users of lean-start-up ideas. Pivot

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. (James Baldwin captured this internalized oppression memorably: “It’s not the world that was my oppressor, because what the world does to you, if the world does it to you long enough and effectively enough, you begin to do to yourself.”) Lorde writes: What are the words you do not yet have?

Trench Democracy in Public Administration #2: Interview with Andrea Arnold This conversation is the fifth in the series, Trench Democracy: Participatory Innovation in Unlikely Places. Innovative democratic professionals are recreating some of our most fundamental institutions, shaping new democratic practices and struggling against the sometimes profoundly counter-democratic tendencies of contemporary American institutions. While their work is always in progress, their experiences hold value for anyone interested in democracy’s future. Andrea Arnold is an Assistant City Manager of Decatur, Georgia, a town where citizen participation plays a significant role in the daily life of government. We talked recently about why participation is valuable for communities and what city managers can do to help encourage more of it. Being involved in Decatur is easy, fun, and meaningful. Parking Problems My first day at work was also a City Commission Monday. The city could have done nothing, but instead they addressed the conflict head-on. AA: About ten years. AA: Right.

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. Do you know what adult male turkeys are called?

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.

Trench Democracy in Schools: an Interview with Principal Donnan Stoicovy This conversation is the second in the series, Trench Democracy: Participatory Innovation in Unlikely Places. Innovative democratic professionals are recreating some of our most fundamental institutions, shaping new democratic practices and struggling against the sometimes profoundly counter-democratic tendencies of contemporary American institutions. While their work is always in progress, their experiences hold value for anyone interested in democracy’s future. Donnan Stoicovy is the principal—or, in her words, the “lead learner”—of Park Forest Elementary School, a public K-5 school in Pennsylvania. We talked recently about how her school incorporated democratic practices and developed a participatory culture even in the younger grades. The following vignette recounts one instance in which students at the school, under the guidance of teachers, identified a problem and solved it democratically. Democracy at Lunch: The Salad Girls AD: In your school you have regular meetings. DS: Yes.
