This document discusses acceptance tools and strategies for dealing with difficult situations like failure, isolation, loss of control, and death. It provides exercises to help people identify their reactions to unpleasant events and circumstances, understand what is within and outside of their control, and choose to accept reality rather than struggle against things that cannot be changed in order to reduce stress and direct their energy productively. The key message is that acceptance involves acknowledging feelings and facts without judgment, seeing situations clearly, and deciding how to move forward in a meaningful way.
Emotional intelligence is key to effective leadership. Leaders must manage their own emotions to avoid relationship problems, rage in the workplace, poor decision making, and high employee turnover. Developing emotional intelligence allows leaders to have personal mastery, influence others, solve conflicts, be approachable, make good decisions under pressure, and drive vision and performance. Leaders can improve emotional intelligence by paying attention to body language, listening more than speaking, getting curious instead of furious, eliciting pride in others, and remembering that emotions are contagious. Regularly checking in on factors like motivation, self-awareness, and relationship management can help build an emotionally intelligent team.

This document discusses Stephen Covey's 8th habit of finding your voice and leadership. It summarizes the key points of Covey's 7 habits of highly effective people which are principles of personal character like being proactive, beginning with the end in mind, putting first things first, thinking win-win, seeking first to understand then be understood, synergizing, and sharpening the saw. It discusses how modeling and living by these habits is the first role of leadership, and how using a personal planning system can help create focus in life by determining what matters most.
Using neuroscience to make feedback work & feel betterAlex Clapson
1) A study found that giving or receiving feedback elicits anxiety in participants, as measured by increased heart rates. Asking for feedback, rather than just giving it, reduces anxiety and leads to more honest and constructive feedback.
2) Feedback is essential for organisms and organizations to adapt and improve. However, typical feedback conversations activate the brain's threat response and put people on the defensive.
3) To make feedback more effective, organizations should encourage a culture of asking for feedback - specifically, asking for feedback that is broad, explicit, and frequent. This establishes psychological safety and puts people in a learning mindset.
The document discusses strategies for breaking the cycle of self-criticism. It recommends avoiding generalization by considering overall performance rather than focusing on single negative events. It also suggests thinking about potential positive outcomes to avoid focusing solely on negatives. Additionally, it advises timeboxing feelings of failure or shame by allowing oneself to experience emotions for a limited time before making a conscious choice to move forward.
I’ve received multiple emails from readers sharing what triggers their self-criticism. Self-criticism can be one of the most MASSIVE obstacles to tackle, because it underlies everything. What you’re telling yourself will determine the way you feel, the behaviors and actions you take and the words you say to others. Your “invisible scripts” shape your experience of your world. They are the paintbrushes on your life canvas (ok, that was slightly cheesy, but you get the point).

The Magic Feedback Ratio - Dr. John Gottman 5 to 1Alex Clapson
The Magic Ratio of Positive & Negative Feedback.
As Supervisors & Managers, we always want to help our teams to improve by giving help & advice. However, the way we give feedback can actually have the opposite effect.
According to Nobel Prize-winning scientist Daniel Kahneman, humans experience approximately 20,000 moments everyday, defined as a few seconds which our brain records as an experience. Scientists have proposed that our brains keep track of positive & negative moments & that a running tally in our
mind determines our overall mood.

As Managers, we are required to provide our observations of our direct reports, & record this on a regular basis. We offer them feedback to help them improve their behaviours & performance. For some staff members, they must change their behaviours, or practice, or suffer serious consequences (such as being served an official warning, or possibly even being fired). We dress up our approach as being ‘strengths based. This often isn’t the experience of the recipient of the well intentioned feedback.
I would like to offer you a tried & tested alternative approach, which only requires a minor tweak to standard practice.
The document outlines six human needs according to Anthony Robbins: certainty, uncertainty, significance, love/connection, growth, and contribution. It provides a brief description of each need, such as certainty relating to things that provide comfort and safety, and contribution involving giving beyond expectations to help others. The summary concludes that according to Robbins, meeting three of the six human needs can create an addiction, which can be either positive or negative depending on the activities used to meet those needs.
How To Overcome Low Self-Esteem Using 5 Simple Self-Esteem BoostersMichael Lee
Trying to overcome low self-esteem is a challenge for a lot of people. Not everybody is born with confidence. However, there are many ways to solve this issue. View thispresentation to find out how.
Having self-confidence brings many benefits like being open to new experiences, better performance, resilience, and improved relationships. Comparing yourself to others on social media or in terms of achievements and attributes can decrease self-confidence by making you feel envy and inadequacy. Practicing self-care through a healthy diet, exercise, meditation, and sleep as well as self-compassion when mistakes happen can boost self-confidence. Using positive self-talk rather than negative self-talk helps overcome doubts and take on challenges. Gaining confidence also involves facing fears and embracing self-doubt by taking risks and learning from small failures or mistakes.
This document outlines a 4-step exercise to build self-confidence by focusing on past successes. The steps are: 1) Write down 10 important past successes from any area of life, without judging their significance; 2) Identify the personal qualities demonstrated by each success; 3) Start each day by reading the successes aloud; 4) Add new successes to the list as you think of them. The exercise helps understand values and stop procrastinating by reflecting on demonstrated qualities and taking action.

Do you always take the stairs? How to use your growth mindset to build smar...Scrum Australia Pty Ltd
by Jen Miller
This session introduces the concept of a Growth Mindset and its synergies to Scrum and Agile, through the sharing of examples I have experienced. Attendees will learn what the qualities of a Growth versus Fixed Mindset are and how to recognise them in ourselves, our teams, and organisations. Tips and techniques on how to introduce and promote a growth mindset and how it helps build smarter scrum and agile teams will also be shared, so attendees have practical tools to take away with them.
The concept of a Growth Mindset gained real visibility with Carol Dweck’s research and 2007 book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. Her research looked at how children learned and faced challenges and problems thought to be beyond their age. Children who were excited to try something new, and learn while doing it, demonstrated what Carol Dweck called the ‘Growth Mindset’. The principles of Scrum align with this concept as they are founded on the empirical practices of try, inspect, and adapt. Seeking to continue learning and improving are characteristic of Scrum and the Growth Mindset. Being aware of, and practicing, the qualities of a growth mindset will make scrum teams and organisations stronger, more resilient, and adaptive in times of challenge and change.
The document summarizes chapters 1-3 of the book "The 8th Habit" by Stephen Covey. It discusses finding one's voice and moving from a "thing mindset" of external motivation and managing people to a "whole person paradigm". The solution is to discover your unique voice by understanding your birth gifts of freedom and natural laws, and the four intelligences of mind, body, heart and spirit. This includes discovering your passions, talents, conscience, and needs to find your personal significance and voice.
7 Steps To Mental Toughness - Todd FalconeJames Wood
This document discusses the importance of mental toughness for success in network marketing. It explains that as an entrepreneur in this field, you will likely face criticism and negativity from friends and family. The author recalls facing this when first starting out. He advocates developing thick skin to withstand such attacks and opinions from others. The document compares cultivating mental toughness to a rhino's thick skin, allowing you to focus on your business without being damaged by outside opinions. It argues that mental strength separates winning athletes and network marketers from average ones.
This document discusses positive thinking and how to develop more positive habits and thought patterns. It covers:
1) The benefits of positive thinking and habits like focusing on the good, choosing positive words, and limiting complaints.
2) How negative thinking can harm health and cause depression, while positive thinking promotes well-being.
3) Techniques for challenging negative thoughts, such as recognizing cognitive distortions and using the ABCDE method to dispute irrational beliefs.
Michael Morris's top five signature themes as identified by the StrengthsFinder assessment are:
1. Analytical - He challenges claims and theories by insisting on sound evidence and data. He seeks to understand root causes and patterns.
2. Context - He looks to the past to understand the present. Examining earlier intentions and plans provides confidence in decisions.
3. Harmony - He seeks agreement and avoids conflict, steering people towards consensus. Common ground is important to him.
4. Intellection - He enjoys thinking and mental activity for its own sake. He is introspective and likes pondering ideas and conversations.
5. Responsibility - He feels bound to follow through on his commitments and makes rest
It provide the quarter of EQ and how to develop Emotion Self-Awareness competence and Emotion Self Management. It also provide the process to utilize your negative emotion and the message they give you so that you can have a better choice.
This document presents the results of Ashley Milliron's StrengthsFinder assessment and identifies her top five signature themes: Adaptability, Belief, Restorative, Ideation, and Empathy. It provides a brief description of each theme, explaining that Ashley is flexible and able to respond to changing demands, has strong core values that guide her life and work, enjoys solving problems and restoring things to working order, is fascinated by ideas and making connections, and has an ability to understand others' perspectives and emotions. The assessment suggests focusing on these signature themes can help Ashley identify and build upon her talents to achieve success.
Push past your limitations of your 'Acquired Self' to discover your 'Authentic Self; achieve your full potential and become the Leader you were destined to be
The document discusses the principles and habits of effective people from Stephen Covey's "7 Habits of Highly Effective People". It outlines four key principles: 1) Taking responsibility for your choices, 2) Mental creation preceding physical creation, 3) Acting with integrity on your priorities, and 4) Effective relationships requiring mutual respect and benefit. It then focuses on Habit 4 of thinking "win-win", where effective people have an abundance mentality, seek mutual benefit in relationships, and build systems that benefit all parties involved.
Scoring, term weighting and the vector spaceUjjawal
The document discusses document indexing and retrieval. It notes that documents have different fields and zones, with fields having finite values like dates and zones having arbitrary text. Separate indexes are built for each field/zone, with the dictionary based on the vocabulary in that zone. This allows for smaller dictionaries and efficient retrieval using weighted zone scoring. Weights can be assigned manually, empirically, or learned from training data to optimize how well retrieved documents match queries.
Genetic algorithms are a metaheuristic inspired by the process of natural selection that generates solutions to optimization and search problems. They use techniques like inheritance, mutation, selection, and crossover to evolve a population of solutions over multiple generations towards better solutions. Genetic algorithms represent potential solutions as chromosomes and evaluate their fitness to survive and reproduce, selecting the fittest to pass traits to the next generation.

fMRI measures brain activity by detecting changes in blood oxygenation and flow related to neural activity. Machine learning can be applied to fMRI data to identify the cognitive state of a human subject based on their brain activity patterns over time. The process involves preprocessing the high-dimensional fMRI imaging data, then using classifiers like Gaussian Naive Bayes, k-Nearest Neighbor, or Support Vector Machines to learn patterns that distinguish different cognitive states from the multi-voxel activity patterns.
The document provides an introduction to data mining and knowledge discovery. It discusses how large amounts of data are extracted and transformed into useful information for applications like market analysis and fraud detection. The key steps in the knowledge discovery process are described as data cleaning, integration, selection, transformation, mining, pattern evaluation, and knowledge presentation. Common data sources, database architectures, and types of coupling between data mining systems and databases are also outlined.
This document outlines the modules of a time management training course. The course begins by discussing setting goals and priorities. It then covers topics like organizing one's workspace, delegating tasks efficiently, and creating daily plans and schedules. Later modules provide tips for overcoming procrastination, establishing routines, and wrapping up the training. The overall aim is to help participants develop skills and habits for maximizing their use of time.
This document summarizes support vector machines (SVMs). It explains that SVMs find the optimal separating hyperplane that maximizes the margin between two classes of data points. The hyperplane is determined by support vectors, which are the data points closest to the hyperplane. SVMs can be solved as a quadratic programming problem. The document also discusses how kernels can map data into higher dimensional spaces to make non-separable problems separable by SVMs.
The document discusses various natural language processing techniques including tokenization, stop word removal, stemming, lemmatization, part-of-speech tagging, and parsing. Tokenization breaks text into tokens. Stop words are extremely common words that provide minimal help in document selection. Stemming chops word endings while lemmatization returns the base form. Part-of-speech tagging assigns linguistic categories to words. Parsing analyzes sentences into syntactic constituents shown in a parse tree.
Diphtheria is a highly infectious respiratory disease caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae that is endemic in developing countries. It mainly affects children under 5 years of age and occurs more commonly in winter months. There are four main types - pharyngotonsillar, laryngotracheal, nasal and cutaneous. Diagnosis involves tests like the Schick test or culture. Prevention relies on early detection, treatment, immunization as per national schedules, and isolating cases and carriers. Complications can impact the respiratory, cardiac, neurological and renal systems if not treated promptly.
The document discusses machine learning and neural networks. It begins by explaining that machine learning algorithms take examples of input-output pairs and produce a program or model that can predict the correct output for new inputs. This is unlike traditional programming where humans write specific rules. The document then discusses different types of neural networks including feedforward, recurrent, convolutional and more. It explains concepts like supervised vs unsupervised learning, learning rules, gradient descent, long short term memory networks, and competitive learning.
Bayes' theorem describes the relationship between conditional and marginal probabilities. It provides a way to update or revise beliefs based on new evidence. The Naive Bayes classifier applies Bayes' theorem using strong independence assumptions between features to classify documents. Logistic regression predicts categorical dependent variables using independent variables. It is commonly used for binary classification problems in fields like medicine.
1) Foreign body aspiration is a common pediatric emergency that occurs when children accidentally inhale non-food items. 2) Food items are the most common foreign bodies, and symptoms may not appear immediately but rather develop into recurrent lung infections. 3) Diagnosis involves chest x-rays and fluoroscopy, while treatment depends on whether the object is lodged in the upper airway or bronchial tubes, requiring either back blows, chest compressions, or bronchoscopy for removal.
- Documents are represented as vectors in a vector space, with one dimension per term. A training set consists of labelled documents that correspond to labelled points in this vector space.
- Classification methods include Rocchio classification, which divides the space into regions centered on class centroids, and k-nearest neighbors (kNN) classification, which assigns classes based on the labels of the k closest training examples without explicit surface definitions.
- Common text classification approaches include prototype-based classification, which represents each class as the centroid of training examples, and assigns new documents to the closest centroid class.
The document discusses random forest, an ensemble classifier that uses multiple decision tree models. It describes how random forest works by growing trees using randomly selected subsets of features and samples, then combining the results. The key advantages are better accuracy compared to a single decision tree, and no need for parameter tuning. Random forest can be used for classification and regression tasks.
The commonly used oxygen delivery systems available for use in children/adults are described with pictures. Indications and side effects of oxygen therapy are also outlined.
The document discusses decision trees, which classify data by recursively splitting it based on attribute values. It describes how decision trees work, including building the tree by selecting the attribute that best splits the data at each node. The ID3 algorithm and information gain are discussed for selecting the splitting attributes. Pruning techniques like subtree replacement and raising are covered for reducing overfitting. Issues like error propagation in decision trees are also summarized.
This ppt is based upon Stephen Covey's 'Seven Habits of Highly Effective People'. I have also added inputs from different other presentations on self-development.

Conflict occurs when there are incompatible needs or differing opinions between parties. There are two main approaches to dealing with conflict: conflict management, which tries to manage the conflict without ensuring all parties use the same process, and conflict resolution, which aims to create a solution satisfying all involved. Groups can either fear and avoid conflict, resulting in decreased productivity, or embrace debate and discussion, allowing them to solve problems and access diverse perspectives quickly. The document then discusses types of conflict and assessing conflict handling modes before providing an overview of coaching and effective communication.
We all want to succeed ,yet unconsciously many of our negative habits may wreck havoc on our path to succeed.
Hence it is essential that we bring these unconscious negative habits to conscious awareness to affect necessary change to ensure success
Leadership requires developing both the mind and heart. Developing the mind involves questioning assumptions, thinking independently, and having a beginner's mindset. Developing the heart involves emotional intelligence, such as self-awareness, managing emotions, and empathy. While fear can motivate in the short term, leading with love provides a deeper motivation and allows people to perform at their best. True leadership development requires openness to improving both mental models and emotional skills over time.
Conflict management is a huge topic; but was made easy by my LinkedIn and Facebook friends who provided excellent inputs. And also by the volunteers from #Stempeutics where I conducted the workshop. Thank you friends.

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
