Fyi for Your Improvement | Michael M. Lombardo, Robert W. Eichinger

Help? Those of you who work with college students and new hires, who work in career development, and those who love learning… I have been charged with creating and delivering a 15 min program for college students on how to enhance “career-ready skills” — SOFT SKILLS! I can do this, I am confident in my ability to facilitate such, but need to pick a topic FAST. Suggestions? 🧐😬😃

Nutmegnc I‘m not sure of specifics but I LOVE George Couros and his book the Innovators Mindset is also great. This touches on those 21st century skills that students need in the coming job market. I bet you could pick a topic from there. You might also bring in the ISTE standards for students. 10mo

BkClubCare @Nutmegnc TY, I have to work it all up tomorrow. Thank you 😊 10mo

wanderinglynn Adam Grant has some fantastic topics, like knowing what you don‘t know.

Bookwormjillk Big topic in my office right now. I agree with @wanderinglynn that Adam Grant is a good place to start. 10mo

bthegood college students - big things they need work on : eye contact, engaged and active listening, hand shakes - 🙂 10mo

BkClubCare @Bookwormjillk @wanderinglynn - Thank you! That first story in Think Again, about the fire fighters, has stayed with me. 🌟 10mo

BkClubCare @bthegood - a presentation on how to be present without being scolding could be a challenge 😂 Active Listening activities might be a good way to go. 🙏 (edited) 10mo

Anne of Avonlea | L.M. Montgomery

Mr. Harrison found out about the #Improvement Society and was disposed to approve of it.

"That's right. Go ahead. There's lots of room for improvement in this settlement . . . and in the people too." . . . “Who are you going to tackle first?"

"We are not going to meddle with PEOPLE . . . it is only PLACES we mean to improve," said Anne, in a dignified tone. She rather suspected that Mr. Harrison was making fun of the project. #QuotsyJan21

The No Complaining Rule: Positive Ways to Deal with Negativity at Work | Jon Gordon

so-so

I borrowed this one from my boss after she mentioned the author. There are some good ideas here, though they are wrapped up in the fictional story of HR rep Hope, who is tasked with saving the company while her personal life throws stress at her. That story has more drama than an afternoon soap opera!

Still, I‘m glad to have read the book. A complainer by nature, I‘m going to try to only do so with a solution moving forward.

I‘ll be starting the tagged book today, so I‘m posting my #BookReport a tad prematurely. I‘ve enjoyed all of my reading this week! I‘m feeling good about the semi-structure for January so far ☺️

Megabooks @Cinfhen my library had the ebook. Don‘t you still have US Libby/overdrive? 5y

Cortg I was going to ask about Unfollow as well! I've gotten a library copy twice and twice I've put it back because my current reading situation is a bit out of control. It no longer has a hold list so hopefully I'll pick it up soon! It sounds fascinating. 5y

Cinfhen My overdrive doesn‘t have it @Megabooks but I recommended it!!! 5y

Megabooks @Cinfhen 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 5y
