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. 7mo

BkClubCare @Nutmegnc TY, I have to work it all up tomorrow. Thank you 😊 7mo

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

Think Again: The Power of 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. 7mo

bthegood college students - big things they need work on : eye contact, engaged and active listening, hand shakes - 🙂 7mo

BkClubCare @Bookwormjillk @wanderinglynn - Thank you! That first story in Think Again, about the fire fighters, has stayed with me. 🌟 7mo

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) 7mo

bthegood @BkClubCare 🙂 7mo

Mentors: How to Help and Be Helped | Russell Brand

Littens, I have a friend in need. She‘s an elementary school librarian and her entire library (13,000 books) was just lost to mold, and school starts next week. If you‘re able, please consider sending a book or two from her wishlists (she said it‘s set up to send non-list books, too). Thank you!

Please make sure you select to ship to Elizabeth.

ravenlee https://www.donorschoose.org/project/cut-a-rug-for-reading/7627723/ This is a Donors Choose project to get new storytime rugs for the library, too. 1y

Ruthiella How do I access her address in Amazon? I don‘t see it. 1y

ravenlee @Ruthiella the way it worked for me was after I put it in the cart and selected “this is a gift,” when it got to the shipping address selection page it showed the gift registry address as one of the options. But it didn‘t show it as an option before that page. Please let me know if that doesn‘t work! 1y

Ruthiella @ravenlee Thanks! I will try again from my laptop today. I was probably having trouble because I was using my phone. Once Litsy gets the pictures back up, you should repost. I‘m sure more will want to help. 1y

ravenlee @Ruthiella thank you, and I definitely will. I had trouble when I used the wish list yesterday, but it worked on my second try so 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1y

Tim Gunn: The Natty Professor: A Master Class on Mentoring, Motivating, and Making It Work! | Tim Gunn

@TheSpineView Thank you for the tag @sharread I haven‘t been on #Litsy much lately.
1) The tagged book was full of good advice in small doses (chapters).
(2) I usually ask for recommendations for my soon-to-be 7-year-old grandson. And just browse posts by other Littens for myself.

Tagging anyone who hasn‘t already been tagged. 🌹

TheSpineView Thanks for playing! 👍💜🤩📚 4y

I was looking for some fluff because I couldn‘t focus enough to follow a plot. This is fun, has very short chapters, easy to listen to, and it‘s NOT fluff. It‘s grounding & uplifting! I‘ve been a Tim Gunn fan since Project Runway started. He talks about his experiences as a teacher, but the lessons translate to real life. He‘s a master of constructive criticism, and never cruel. I‘m giving a very rare 4⭐️s, and plan to purchase a hard copy.

Hoopiefoot Oooh—I‘m happy to see this. I just picked this audiobook up on Hoopla! 5y

Hooked_on_books Tim Gunn is a treasure 5y

Wife @Hooked_on_books Agreed! Of all the celebrities that I admire, I think I‘d like to hang out with him. 🙂 5y
