This was the first webinar on the https://www.bigmarker.com/communities/doctoralnet/bulletin channel. the research on grit is clear that having it helps you finish hard tasks - Covey's 7 habits play into these ideas as well.
Attendees learned valuable strategies on how to use compassion to prepare for their coaching sessions:
* Set a positive climate that fosters respect
* Focus on long-term development— not on altering short-term performance
* Discover your employees’ personal goals
Part Two of our 3-part series took place on Tuesday November 29 at 2 pm ET. Join us as Teleos’ scholar-practitioners, Suzanne Rotondo and Gretchen Schmelzer share how you can:
* Deepen the conversation with your team
* Get the feedback you’re looking for
* Build on the coaching reflections from Part One
Leaders lead people. Realising that the greatest asset of any
organisation is its people, a leader will empower them and help
them to realise their own potential within the organisation. As
Jack Welch famously said, ‘Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.’ Put another way, leaders create leaders.
To identify high-potential talent requires more than what is on the resume. With this guide developed by TalenX, you can start asking behavioural interview questions designed to uncover more insights in your next applicant.
In this guide I provide information and tools for people to ask and answer five basic questions to create and implement their plan. Each year, people make resolutions that don’t seem to stick. This is because they are short sighted and are not grounded in a longer term plan and direction for their life. My goal in this guide is to get people thinking and planning based on what you want they want out of their life in the future and setting goals and strategies now to get there.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

How to plan so that your graduate work blends easily with your life.compressed
1. How to plan so that your graduate work blends easily with
your life
2. Goals for today… (amended)
Compare your experience with others using this
survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2018_general_5fs
Help ensure you have the tools/ideas you need to sail
through your graduate program this year.
A bit of planning, a bit of having the right tools on hand and
a good set of discipline and you are on your way!
3. Quotes from Stephen Covey
The more aware we are of our
basic paradigms, maps, or
assumptions, the more we can
take responsibility for those
paradigms, examine them, test
them against reality, listen to
others and be open to their
perceptions as well.
1
It becomes obvious that if we
want to make relatively minor
changes in our lives, we can focus
on our attitudes and behaviors.
Bit if we want to make
significant, quantum change, we
need to work on our basic
paradigms.
2
Highly effective people really do
not manage time – they manage
themselves.

8. The Place to Start…
Principles / Roles / Centeredness
9. Principles
There are basic principles of
effective living, and people can
only experience true success
and enduring happiness as they
learn and integrate these
principles into their basic
character.
No enterprise or person can
become or remain truly great
without a core set of principles
to preserve, to build upon to
serve as an anchor, to provide
guidance in the face of an ever-
changing world.
Acting out of principle can be
preventative such as preventing
disease or problems by aligning
with you lifestyle with the
principles of harmony and
actions of good health
11. What roles are you responsible for?
• Parent
• Teacher
• Student
• Friend
• Boss or Employee
• Leader
• What matters most to you?
• Your family
• Your children
• Your work
• Your degree
• Your future plans
• Your friends
• Having a good time
Roles and Centered-ness
15. • How can your behavior in those groups not
only advance what you need but he needs of
others?
• How can your behavior help everyone
succeed?
• How do your principles support those
behaviors?
• What roles are you fulfilling?
What groups do you work in?
Who do you work with?
17. For an example…
1. The principle of cooperation is
important to you
2. You take some extra time
relationship building (Quad 2)
3. You learn that
colleagues/committee chair have
deadlines coming up (their Quad 1)
4. So you negotiate a different
timing that you would have for your
review
Putting it together…
18. And what to do when we can’t
What we can influence
19. Seligman’s research has shown
that three people benefit from
acts of kindness. The person to
who was the giver, the receiver
and anyone who witnessed the
exchange.
Covey says: The challenge is the
same: how can we do the most
good for the greatest number
with the resources we have?
(Habit 2: Begin with the end in
mind)
Influence
21. Self control
Circle of
Influence
Outside of
your
control
What you can influence & what you can’t
In the example used before….
Can you influence….
1. Your mood about turning in your work
to your committee chair?
2. Your relationship with your committee
chair?
3. The requirements of your university on
committee chairs?
4. Whether their review is helpful to
you?
5. Whether their review is turned right
around?
22. Self control
Circle of
Influence
Outside of
your control
1. Someone who is crystal clear about
what they want and why?
2. Someone who understands the full
dynamic of needs and desires of both
people?
3. Someone who knows the other is on
their side?
4. Someone who is suspicious that they
have to protect themselves from bad
attitudes in the other?
Who it the better negotiator?
23. Tricks to maintain work-life balance
And to the Negotiation that Makes it Work
26. Exercise One
Define for yourself…
• Which of the 5fs is most frustrating to
you?
• What principles are the most important
for you to live by?
• What matters to you most and how does
that sync with the principles you want to
live by?
• Which roles are in alignment? Which are
likely to interfere?
Spend time dreaming of ways in which
these come closer together?
Exercise Two
1. Look at Covey’s quadrant and plot your
weekly activities.
2. What negotiations can you make with
others to move more into quadrant 2?
3. Think about the people in your life…
What more can you understand about
them in order to deepen your
relationship?
4. What aspects of your life and your
relationships can you move to a more
win/win level?
5. What do you want to influence but its
outside of your control? What else can
be influenced to improve the situation
from another angle?
