Living V/S Existing: Notes from my coaching journey -Bimal Rath Bimal Rath
Reflections from my journey as a coach
Just clocked 1000 hours of coaching and was penning down my own learning as reflection. Needless to say, the learning has been immense, working with a variety of individuals, ranging from CXOs to senior level executives in corporations.
Over the years, it was useful to read up a few varied authors--to expand my own perspective, and often as a consequence of a coaching conversation.
Here is the pick of the thoughts that have remained with me, and must say have helped me grow as a coach..nothing new, but worth a re-mention.
Explore how CREATIVE Thinking OF YOUR SUBCONSCIENCE MIND can help you identify the unsaid needs of your current and future career and ultimately lead to creating innovative solutions.

The First Order of Business - Garden Center Fall Event 2016Tim Miles
In addition to being the subject of Tim Miles' obsession over the last four years, The First Order of Business is a framework that categorizes and prioritizes communication, branding, and marketing for any family business or non-profit organization.
It’s also the baseline we use to analyze, diagnose and treat problem areas in our clients’ companies.
But, more than that, it shows our clients what deserves the greatest priority in their marketing, and in fact, what’s got to come first, second, third, fourth, and fifth for any business to be successful.
There is a word that politicians love to throw out whenever they consider that it might accrue some advantage for them. I'm talking about values. As one commentator put it: "Values, values everywhere." Then she went on to list the ways the term was used in a recent political rally: "American values, working-class values, heartland values, mainstream values, blue-collar values, democratic values" and the list goes on (Goodman, 2004). In spite of the overuse and, at times abuse, of the word, values continue to be the central issue for society today, because they give direction and meaning to our lives. In this presentation, I want us to look at what values are, what the Bible says about them, why they are important and how they become embedded in our hearts.
1. Be Creative!
2. Group Activity SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTION: What helps you to be creative?
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.
10. Terrorism, widespread public scandals, economic uncertainties, international conflicts, and a host of other problems have launched us into a turbulent, yet potential-filled 21st century. Has the full measure of our creativity ever been needed more?
11. A life brimming with creativity is no longer the luxury of a few; it’s the duty and privilege of all of us.
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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
2. Introduction
There comes a time on the journey of self-development when we reach a level of
working from all the previously levels.
It is likely that the new experiences are no less challenging than before, it’s just that
we see them in a different way, accomplish them with more ease and flow, and put
them into new contexts and meanings.
We have few words to describe this new state: “mastery” is one of them.
3. Up Your Game by Just 2%
The difference between mediocrity and superior performance can be attributed to as little as 1 or 2%
more in terms of more planning more study, more application, more interest, more attention, more
positivity, more effort, and more determination.
Consider two professional golf players:
Bob earns $50,000 with an average of 70.9 a round.
Jack earns $230,000 with an average of 70.3 a round.
The sight edge difference is nothing more than one missed put in every 18 holes but it is worth
$180,000 in tournament winnings.
“The fact is, the difference between peak performers and everybody else is much smaller than
“everybody else thinks” (Charles Garfield)
4. Love What You Do
Love for one’s work is the simplest recipe for mastering one’s goals. It also makes the process of self –
development one of joy.
Love is self-acceptable and recognition, rather than the need for acceptance and recognition by others.
Lovers have no boundaries as action has. In the words of mother Teresa: “We cannot do great things on this
earth. We can only do small things with great love.
Love is emotional intelligence, which along with intelligence action is the route to mastery.
Love is doing difficult things simply.
“Work is love made visible and if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should
leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy”. (Kahlil Gibran)
5. Become an
Artist
When we grow and develop, we do not simply acquire new
and improved skills. We gain a depth of understanding that
changes who we are and how we see life: we reach artistry.
The apprentice knows the rules. The craftsman knows the
rules and performs the skills, the master knows the rules,
performs the skills, and sees the point. The artist knows the
rules, performs the skills, sees the point and understands the
deeper meaning.
We can all be artists. In “the Search for Meaning”, Charles
Handy quotes a businessman who is awestruck by the
performance of a group of “ordinary people” in the French
circus troupe, Cirque and wonders: “why do we have to bribe
our people with so much money to work as well as this? Are
we missing something?”
6. Pursue Excellence Not Perfection
The difference between perfection and excellence is that perfection is a prize, the gift of others and
nearly always impossible to achieve while excellence is a standard which we can work towards each
day.
Perfection: completion, arriving, ending, reaching the peak, receiving the ultimate prize…
Excellence: a process, a journey, a quality standard, a way of life, relationships, attitudes, personal
well- being, strategies for living, giving…
“The surest hindrance of success is to have too high a standard of refinement in our minds or to high
an opinion of the judgment of the public. He who is determined to be satisfied with anything short of
perfection will never do anything to please himself or others”. (William Hazlitt 1778-1830)
7. Tithe
In the Middle Ages, the meaning of “tithing” was to hand over one tenth (a “tithe”) of your stock to your landlord. Today,
tithing means giving part of what you earn to others. Writer Anthony Robbins suggests we should give 10% (the original
tenth) of our income away and not just when we are successful but also when we are starting out.
Some of the ways to tithe are:
Investing in your family’s future.
Investing in your own future.
Investing in helping others in your community.
Investing in those who helped you.
Investing in those who need your help.
Investing in those who are now where you once were.
Investing in others for no reason than what this tells you about yourself.
“Your make a living from what you get; you make a life from what you give”. (Arthur Ashe)
8. The Gratitude
Attitude
The dictionary tells us that gratitude is the expression of
gratefulness and thanks but this doesn’t begin to convey its real
effect. Here are an alternative of definitions.
Gratitude stops you from taking your life for granted and helps
you realize how many good things you have in your life.
Gratitude makes others feel better.
Gratitude makes you feel better ; in the words of an Arabian
proverb, “The hand that gives the roses always keep some of the
scent”.
Gratitude raises your awareness of things around you.
Gratitude is easy, quick and simple.
9. The Gratitude
Attitude
Gratitude is an instant blues-breaker and stress-reliever.
Gratitude changes your view of so-called “bad” things.
Gratitude frees you from petty annoyances.
Gratitude inspires you.
Gratitude puts your thought and feelings on a high vibration level
that in turn attracts back to you more things to be grateful for.
Gratitude nourishes the soul.
Gratitude is like compound interest on money in the bank: the
more you put in, the more you get out.
Gratitude is a spiritual act because it acknowledges that the origin
of all good things is a source outside ourselves.
10. Identify Yourself with Your Work
The ultimate awareness is when your work is no longer apart from you but a part of you. The features as
the ultimate awareness are that:
We feel whole; everything falls into place; layers of meaning make sense
Work is simple if not always easy
Our work is like a love affair
We are fully in the experience of our work, body, mind and soul - the way children often are
There is no more tension or effort
Doing is all that matters, not the rewards
We are what we do
“Always you put more of yourself into your work, until one day, you never know exactly which day, it
happens, you are your work”. (Pablo Picasso)
11. The Super-Senses
◦ Rudolf Steiner has suggested that when we
develop our work to levels of greater artistry, we
become conscious of experiencing on other levels
not normally sensed. These are the levels of the
twelve super-senses, which are:
1) A sense of being alive
2) A sense of being moved
3) A sense of balance in things
4) A sense of warmth
5) A sense of speech
6) A sense of thought
7) A sense of personality
8) A sense of vision
9) A sense of being in touch
10) A sense of being in tune
11) A sense of taste for life
12) A sense of smelling the roses
12. Peak Experiences
The ultimate stage of personal development of our skills is often glimpsed as a peak experience. This is
when we do our work with a different feeling: confident and humble, invincible and connected, calm
and at the highest level of awareness.
This is how the Brazilian footballer, Pele, arguably the world’s greatest-ever player, described a peak
experience:
◦ “I felt a strange calmness I hadn’t experienced in any other games. It was of euphoria. I felt I could run
all without tiring, that I could dribble through any of their team of all of them, that I could almost pass
through them physically. I felt I could not be hurt. It was a very strange feeling and one I had not felt
before. Perhaps, it was merely confidence but I have felt confident many times without that strange
feeling of invincibility”. (Pele with Robert Fish: “my life and the Beautiful Game”)
13. Celebrate and Give Thanks
Celebration at achieving our goals is right and proper. For hundreds of years, men
and women have worked for six days and then stopped on the seventh to give
thanks and celebrate.
Celebration marks important milestones on the journey to our goals.
Celebration marks life transitions, such as birth and beginning, ending and
change.
Celebration is a sacred rite and ritual.
Celebration is a way of sharing goal achievement with those who have made it
possible.
Celebration is where work meets fun.
“There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want and after that to
enjoy it. Many achieve the first, only the wisest of mankind achieve the second”.
(Logan Smith)
14. Move into Mystery
Psychologist Abraham Maslow describes the destination point of personal development as a spiritual one. He says, it is
possible only when all our other personal and interpersonal needs are being met and operating at a high level.
Others explain this state as one of wisdom. In his work on human needs, Abraham Maslow studied people who had
achieved the greatest goal open to mankind, leaders of countries, industries, professions, and the arts. He found all these
people had a number of attribute in common.
They were inner-directed people. They were creative. They appreciate the world around them with awe and wonder.
Central to their lives was a set of values that Maslow called the B, of Being, values: wholeness, perfection, completion,
justice, aliveness, richness, simplicity, beauty, goodness, uniqueness, effortlessness, playfulness, truth, honesty, reality
and self-sufficiency. Maslow summed up this list in one word: “wisdom”.
The journey of self-development often starts with improving our skills. It then progresses to improving our relationships
with people. If we continue our journey, it takes us to new awareness where we sense a new identity in which our
potential is unlimited. This is the journey from mastery to mystery.
15. Key Points
1. Love for one’s work is the simplest recipe for mastering
one’s goals.
2. We tithe when we give something back to help others.
3. No matter who we are and what we do, we are capable
of turning our work into artistry.
4. Feeling at one with your work is a feature of the
ultimate awareness.
5. When you master your work, you feel a connectedness
with others
6. There is a deeper meaning to your work when you
move beyond performing the skills to a state of new
awareness.
