Resources for presentation skills
Personal growth and wellbeing blog
A free resource for anyone who is interested in personal development, growth and wellbeing - a safe place to reflect on life's challenges and regain your strength. An honest look at what we go through in life, what it teaches us and how to live consciously and confidently.
Contemporary Voice Coaching
A common problem I come across is especially prevalent with current working singers who do not realise the importance of a coach; they think that if a person can already sing, they "don't need a teacher".
Having a voice coach is a matter of common sense, just as a professional sportsman/woman will also have a coach to maintain their safety, health, fitness level and strive to achieve greater accomplishments.
Communication Skills
If you are part of the sales team of your company, it is really important that you invest in your communication skills so you will be able to sell the products or services that you need to let go of.
Casa Verde's Nicaraguan siteThis is a view from the beautiful Casa Verde site in Nicaragua. Casa Verde’s Student Center in Nicaragua is being built using sustainable materials and indigenous practices to the furthest extent possible. This supports not only a healthy and engaged lifestyle at Casa Verde, but all infrastructure and buildings will be used as a living educational tools. The facility itself will be a model to demonstrate how to replicate these practices and give students hands on experience with green and alternative systems. |

21 bad habits
A helpful Amazon reviewer has taken the time to summarise the 21 bad habits (well, 20 actually) outlined by Marshall Goldsmith in his book "What Got You Here Won't Get You There".
I've reposted them below:
Letting winning get in the way of relationships you need
Dropping too many ideas on those who work for you
Being judgmental rather than helpful
Slamming people in public or behind their backs
Making comments that indicate you disagree with everything that's just been said
Showing off how smart you think you are
Saying anything in anger
Being negative
The nature of power is changing
Great 'world 1.0 -> world 2.0' post from Euan Semple. Best line:
"It is not about technology but about a shift in behaviours from a command and control mentality to an instigate and nurture one."
Leadership as service
In a representative democracy, I think people will cede authority to a leader if they think they won't lose their power. But in social media projects, they will only allow someone to lead them if their power will increase.
The more active and engaged the population becomes, or needs to become, the more the task of leading them becomes about enabling and serving, and not setting directions or crushing dissent. Those dissenting energies are still valuable energies, and the direction is chosen by the crowd.
Unlimited Resources
Every member of School of Everything can add notes, links, videos, images, documents and other things to the site that help people learn or teach a particular subject. If you're learning, you can use it to keep track of your progress in your subjects and all the things that help you learn like useful websites or how-to videos.
If you're teaching, you can share useful resources and advice that you think will help people learn you subjects. You can tag each resource post with one or more subjects, and your posts will appear to other people looking for those subjects.
Don't be shy, say hello. We'd love to hear from you.
