Building Innovation Habits
If innovation is not happening regularly in your organization, you need to re-think what you are doing to promote and enable innovation. The natural tendency is for leaders to start with a focus on motivating. When companies announce new innovation strategies, too many people see these actions as the “flavour of the month”. Without the skills and systems to make innovation happen little changes. A better solution is to first, focus on building systems to make innovation easier, then culture and lastly, business strategy.
A lot of new advances in behavioural science has shown motivation and willpower it a notoriously unsuccessful way to build habits. The state of the art is quite simple. Habits are built on behaviour. You need to make behaviour possible then reinforce the behaviour to create habits.
What is important, useful, new, or counterintuitive about your idea?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Businesses almost always focus on motivating employees first. When the task is difficult like making innovation happen, the step should be making things easier. Then there is room to work on motivation.
Managers also need to be aware of the waves of willingness and learn to take hard action when willingness, so things will continue when willingness is low.
Why do managers need to know about it? How can your idea be applied today?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Behaviour happens when people are willing, able and ready. Until you are getting the right behaviours, it doesn’t make sense to work on building habits. Why: Habits are essentially reinforced behaviours. If your company is willing and able to innovate (The right behaviours are possible), focus on triggering behaviours and reinforcing behaviours to build habits. If not (and most companies are here), follow this simple 4-step process: Step 1 Identify / Step 2 Facilitate / Step 3 Trigger / Step 4 Reinforcement
In our year-end issue, enjoy strategies for handling emotional holiday stress, learn how to challenge your implicit biases, set up your budget for the new year, and hear from our experts about their favorite New Year traditions.
The story in this book is about introducing new sets of guidelines to upheavy the country with good understanding and solidarity. The aim is to become a welfare state with unified culture.

What is cultural agility?
Ability to quickly, comfortably, and effectively work in different countries and with people from different cultures.
4
As noted in the course introduction, Cultural agility is the ability to quickly, comfortably, and effectively work in different countries and with people from different cultures.
Cultural agility can be developed but it is important to understand that it will take more than a passive understanding of how cultures differ.

Cultural agility consists of three critical components: Cultural understanding, cultural competencies, and cultural experiences.

Self-Management Competencies
Tolerance of Ambiguity
Resilience
Curiosity
6
Self-management competencies enable self-regulation in situations that are unfamiliar, unpredictable or novel. The three most important self-management competencies are tolerance of ambiguity, resilience and curiosity.
Tolerance of ambiguity – is the ability to be comfortable and effective in situations which hold some unknown and unpredictable elements. For those with a high tolerance of ambiguity, uncertain or unpredictable situations do not produce excessive anxiety or stress.
Resilience – is the capacity to cope and bounce back after set-backs and adversity. Individuals with resilience believe that professional challenges can be overcome and they remain committed to a goal even after a setback or failure.
Curiosity – is the sincere interest in knowledge and the inclination to pursue or investigate to gain greater understanding. Those higher in curiosity are more likely to ask questions, independently search for information, and read de ...

3. “Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.” Mary Lou Cook
4. The Target of Life is a very helpful way to understand our individual and collective well-being.
5. When you’re centered in the heart of the Target of Life, you’re at your best and life seems brighter. You see clearly and therefore make optimal decisions. You feel peaceful, loving, energetic, and happy. You’re in a good position to handle just about anything. However, when things happen that go against our desires and expectations, it’s easy to get pulled off center.
6. We experience more fear and negativity. We say and do things we regret. The immune system weakens and our productivity declines. We lose touch with what’s really important to us. Unhealthy stress increases and our sensitivity toward others decreases. And the further away from the center we move, the worse it gets!
7. That’s why it’s so important to catch early signs of stress, and to use all of our creativity to stay as centered as possible. When we are centered in the heart on the Target of Life, difficulties still crop up, but we can handle them much more smoothly and effectively. The more centered we are, the greater our well-being, the wiser our choices, and the more effective we are in everything we do.
8. Creativity is the power to bring something new and useful into existence.
9. You are an enormously creative person! That creativity is always within you, and you must express it in order to experience the satisfaction and joy that is your birthright.

12. Group Activity SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTION: What are some factors that keep people from becoming more creative?
13. CAUTION! Roadblocks Ahead Roadblocks that typically prevent capable people from expressing their creativity more fully: Thinking “I’m not very creative.” Fear of criticism from others. “That’s not my job.” Stress, Laziness, Self-Criticism. “There’s only one right way.”
14. CAUTION! Roadblocks Ahead Wasting time on nonessentials. “You have to follow the rules.” Too much talk, too little doing. Fear of failure. Resistance to change. Limiting beliefs. Worrying about who gets credit. Lack of faith.
15. Though we express it in different ways and to varying degrees, creativity is a gift that has been given in abundance to each of us.

Clodagh Butler, University Limerick, Psychology Matters Day.
In many work contexts daily hassles, interpersonal conflict, the organizational climate and the environmental setting all combine to create both unpredictable and expected job-related stressors. There has been increased attention on workplace well-being in recent years and as not all stressors can be predicted coping effectively is suggested as a useful strategy. Resilience, which refers to bouncing forward as well as bouncing back from an adverse stimulus or negative event, is such a strategy. My research focuses on the bouncing forward side of resilience. That is focusing on what we can do to minimise stress before it occurs (proactivity towards stress). This approach helps individuals see stress as a challenge, not a threat. Typically, it leads to better physical and mental health outcomes in response to stressful experiences than reactive coping.
I believe that proactive coping can safeguard against the negative effects of stress, increase capacity to endure adversity and thus promote positive adaption, i.e. psychological resilience. Therefore, if proactive coping has a role in resilience, then we need to look at becoming more proactive towards our stress. Three key ways to cope proactively are suggested based on best practice to help you thrive not just survive in the workplace.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
