Joyce Hostyn discusses how storytelling can be used to influence people and effect change. She outlines three aspects of story - listening, thinking, and telling. For listening, she recommends practicing empathy, seeking to understand others, and assuming good intentions. For thinking, she discusses how stories can be used to think through problems and perspectives. For telling, she emphasizes using emotional language and visual elements to craft stories that create experiences and evoke responses in others. The overall message is that stories are powerful ways to communicate and reframing issues, as people prefer stories over facts alone.

9 Unique Traits of High-Performing TeamsWeekdone.com
What are the unique traits that separate high-performers from low-performers? Find out and build your own High-Performance Team that is highly focused on goals and achieve superior business results.
IN THIS SUMMARY
In Helping, Edgar H. Schein draws not only on his career expertise but from personal life experiences to establish a “general theory of helping” that holds true no matter what the social dynamics of the client/ helper relationship. Helping is a fundamental part of life: parents help their children, coaches their players, nurses their patients, managers their subordinates, yet despite its constant presence in daily life, the dynamics of giving and receiving help are poorly understood. When someone asks for help, they are temporarily lowering their own status and transferring status and power to the helper, creating an imbalanced relationship. Building a helping relationship means that the first client/helper interactions must be carefully managed by the helper toward building the client’s status up from their lower position and identifying which helping role to take vis-à-vis the client.

Feedback is commonly perceived as something that everyone is able to do – who doesn’t have an opinion? However, it’s also very easy to give bad feedback: we all know it when we are on the receiving end. This gets more and more evident when the team grows from two people to a whole company.
Feedback thus becomes a critical skill that can be learned, improved, and mastered. Good feedback skills can improve the quality of the teamwork and the result by a large margin, while bad feedback can grind any team to a halt with confusion if not worse.
This talk will give insights, challenge myths, and provide practical ideas. How can we improve ourselves? How can we plan good feedback in groups?

Despite the fact that some governments are taking behavioral science and its challenges to the model of the rational individual very seriously, most enterprises still haven’t changed the way they deploy technology. No wonder 85% of ECM implementations fail to live up to expectations. Can the insights shared by Kahneman and others shed some insight onto this dilemma? Can we increase success by rethinking our approach to enterprise software deployments based on an improved understanding of how people perceive their environment, are swayed by others, and choose to act?
Employee Communities: Community Centric ChangeJoyce Hostyn
Customer Experience starts with the employee experience, but changing the employee experience can be very difficult. Most change methods are still based on an outdated top-down rational view of organizational change. How can we rewire organizational DNA to create great customer experiences? How can we shift the hearts, minds and behaviors of every employee? These are the questions we're wresting with as we rethink our approach to employee experience. Our new strategy is centered on an employee community of peers that we are promoting through internal content marketing. It might be working. Presented at CXPA Members Insight Exchange.

Whether you’re working on designing better experiences or you’re an organizational change agent trying to transform your organization, listening is one of the most important skills in your toolkit. To understand what people truly need you need to be a great listener. To build trust and diffuse negative energy you need to be a great listener. To transcend the assumptions and worldviews that constrain your thinking you need to be a great listener. But listening is really hard. Most of us are poor listeners because we’ve never been taught how to listen. To become a powerful listener, treat listening as an active skill to work at.
authoring a hero's journey: finding meaning through storyJoyce Hostyn
We live, learn, and remember through story. Our brains weave each experience into the overall narrative that shapes who we are. Yet seldom do we step back to examine or consciously shape the overall story of our lives. As designers, many of us have a desire to change the world. And yet, as Leo Tolstoy said, “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” If design is change, if we want to use design to effect change, shouldn’t we first think about changing ourselves by designing our own story? For the stories we tell ourselves can change the way we see the world and, by extension, change the world itself.
Designing with content: a customer experience journeyJoyce Hostyn
Content has a significant role to play when we approach the design of the customer experience holistically. And yet content has long been neglected. It’s time to change that. Content strategy, by designing experiences with content, can have a significant impact on an organization’s bottom line.
Can we design organizations for beauty?Joyce Hostyn
The future is ours to imagine, design and create. And if we’re dreaming the future into being, why not dream of a future where business is beautiful. Where business delivers the promise of happiness. Where business is an incredible force for positive change in the world.
Predictable Irrationality If You Build What They Ask For, They Will Not ComeJoyce Hostyn
Traditional approaches to defining and deploying enterprise software fail to account for that fact that people are influenced by their environment, emotions, shortsightedness, and other forms of irrationality. How do we get past the predictable irrationality of people to redefine the problem and create experiences that people will embrace?
What's your story? Designing a holistic customer experienceJoyce Hostyn
An experience always exists and always generates an impression, but seldom by design. Silo'd approaches result in fragmented experiences and dissatisfied customers. No wonder only 8% of customers report their experience with a given company was superior.
How can we craft a cross-silo content strategy designed to deliver a superior, holistic, customer experience across all customer touchpoints and all stages of the customer lifecycle?
Mapping the customer experience: innovate using customer experience journey mapsJoyce Hostyn
Do you know what your organization looks like from your customer’s perspective? In the digital age, silos and organizational bureaucracy manifest themselves through your digital presence. You can bridge these silos and overcome a bureaucratic inside-out mindset by visualizing the customer (learner, elder, citizen, patient, employee) experience through a customer experience journey map that captures both actual and emotional aspects of the customer experience. Then, map in hand, you can use it to design great outside-in customer experiences for your organization.

Business Storytelling by Cynthia Hartwig of Two PensCynthia Hartwig
Anyone familiar with the Bible and Aesop’s fables already knows that stories are the oldest persuasive tool since the dawn of time. And now everybody from the The Wall Street Journal to LinkedIn is saying that storytelling will be the number one business skill needed in the next five years. That’s why you should run, don’t walk, to see the hands-on business storytelling workshop with Cynthia Hartwig, fiction writer and co-founder of Two Pens.
Over the course of her career in advertising and social media, Cynthia Hartwig has honed the act of telling stories into a fun and practical art. She’ll lead you in a series of practice-makes-perfect exercises that will help you to persuade, excite, sell and sway people to your point of view.
You’ll see how stories can be used in all kinds of business settings to communicate and connect with employees, customers, colleagues, partners, suppliers, and the media.
You’ll learn the mechanics of telling a story with a beginning that hooks you, to a middle that builds tension, to a satisfying end.
You’ll learn how to weave rich information (even numbers) with personal insights and emotional power and then experience the thrill of having an audience remember what you’ve said. Many writing exercises are included to help you tap into the mind’s unique hard-wiring that can create a story out of almost any experience.

Culture Feasts on Innovation: Here's What you Can Do About ItReuven Gorsht
You can have the best talent, best ideas, best processes, abundance of cash.
If your culture does not align, being successful with innovating starts looking as if it’s a matter of luck.
Este es un keynote que me encontré en el 2014 que trata puntos muy buenos sobre Innovation Culture o bien, Cultura de la Innovación que vale la pena revisar.
The objective for this work "perception is reality, perception is everything" is to help business owners, entrepreneurs, marketers, politicians, individuals and all who aspire to leadership, understanding the concept of PERCEPTION and its critical important for success and significance in any aspect of life, ignorance in this all important index could mean failure at worst and at best living by chance.
A firm grasp of this concept of perception and its use to create, guarantees success and a replication of it in all areas of life.
I am sure that the proper use of this simple work would ensure a more rewarding life.
Enjoy sailing in this knowledge and look forward to more wind of thought.
Have fun.

Designing food forests: fruit & nut tree guild handoutJoyce Hostyn
Looking for palettes for groups of species that work together interdependently to inspire your design of guilds (plant communities) for a food forest?
Featured guilds:
- eat your ornamentals
- native bounty
- urban orchard (apple & pear)
- nature's pharmacy
- medieval potager
- asian cooking herbal
- edible fence
- native nuts (black walnut, butternut, shagbark or shellbark hickory, chestnut or oak)
In Permaculture: A Designers Manual Bill Mollison says that "We ourselves are part of a guild of species that lie within and without our bodies. Aboriginal peoples and the Ayurvedic practitioners of ancient India have names for such guilds, or beings made up (as we are) of two or more species forming one organism. Most of nature is composed of groups of species working interdependently."
Guilding is a permaculture technique that learns from and works with the relationships in nature, especially in a forest system.
Unlike monocultures – a field of corn, a traditional apple orchard or a grass lawn – guilds are polycultures of diverse plants, insects and animals that support each other in a mini ecosystem. They’re designed around a primary food producing species (such as an apple tree) along with diverse, multi-functional support species to maximize the health and productivity of the guild. They produce a wide variety of useful products such as food, medicine, fibre, wood and dye.
By considering the whole plant community, – placing plants carefully in relation to each other in a way that facilitates interconnection and support rather than competition (for example, plants with different root systems such as shallow vs tap roots)
- Nitrogen fixing plants, along with species that supply phosphorus, potassium, calcium and other minerals, fertilize food producing plants
- Soil food web recycles plant debris to build healthy, moisture retentive soil
- Insectary plants attract beneficial predatory insects such as ladybugs, lacewings and predatory wasps as well as pollinators such as native bees that increase fruit and vegetable yield
- Strongly aromatic plants such as oregano, garlic, thyme and yarrow confuse pests, preventing them from discovering the plants they like to eat
- Diversity attracts a wide variety of bacteria, fungi, insects and birds to increase system health
- Dense layer of herbaceous and groundcover plants suppress unwanted species and protect the soil
Little Forests as Nature-Based Climate Solutions - Nature CanadaJoyce Hostyn
Little Forests are collaborations between plants, soil, organisms, land, climate, geology, & people. Disturbed land naturally returns to forest in 150 to 200 years. Because of the urgency of climate change, Dr. Akira Miyawaki designed a method that squeezes those 150 years into a 20-30 years.
What might a place where we park our car for an hour become?
What might a path, road, or active transport route become?
What might a parking lot become?
What might an apartment building become?
What might a school become?
What might a median become?
What might a front yard become?
What might our cities become?
Dr. Akira Miyawaki says that "Real forests made up of trees native to the area are three-dimensional, multi-layered communities having 30x the surface area of greenery of single-layered lawns, and have more than 30x the ability to protect against natural disasters and to conserve the environment."
Each of us is a node in a mycelial network of regeneration. Each little forest is a node in a mycelial network of regeneration.
Presented during "Learn How to Implement Nature Based Climate Solutions in your community" hosted by Nature Canada.
"Our world is made of systems within systems, an interconnected web of life more complex than humanity has the capacity to grasp all at once. It took me ages to realise that design was the main subject and that network science was the key to it all." Rosemary Morrow
"In many ways, the environmental crisis is a design crisis. It is a consequence of how things are made, buildings are constructed, and landscapes are used."
Sim Van Der Ryn & Stuart Cowan
Can Kingston become a City in a Forest?Joyce Hostyn
Imagine it’s 2030. Every child can look out their window and see trees (and the many creatures these trees support). On even the hottest days they can walk or bike along a tree-lined street to play, visit birds or hug a tree in a nearby forest. 3-30-300 builds climate resilience for extreme heat events.
No Mow May: Support Multispecies ResurgenceJoyce Hostyn
Celebrate No Mow May by rewilding your lawn. Rewilding isn't about curb appeal. It's about soul appeal. Think of rewilding as an embodied land acknowledgement supporting multispecies resurgence.
In our yards, our parks and along our streets we plant lines of lonely trees. But a tree is not a forest. Lonely trees are severed from their ecological communities—at the mercy of wind, weather and disease. Rewilding with Little Forests re-enchants our yards and our city with biodiversity... what Robert MacFarlane calls “the wondrous, teeming, calamitously threatened variety & variability of life on Earth, sometimes measured by species richness.”
Re-enchanting our gardens and our citiesJoyce Hostyn
How, by rewilding, might we invite more wonder into our gardens? Our gardens are shared spaces, communities of beings. Who visits? Who doesn't? Why? What moments invite enchantment and wonder? This winter, start your rewilding journey by discovering the stories of the beings with whom you share your garden. We'll explore how rewilding might change who we become as gardeners.
Our beautiful wild pollinators need help! Support bees, butterflies and other pollinators by converting your lawn into a meadowscape or let your lawn grow wild!
Wildscaping: break up with your lawn, invite in the wild Joyce Hostyn
Climate change is forcing us to rethink our approach to gardening, our relationship with plants and how we belong to place. Our weather is becoming more variable with wetter springs, drier summers, colder winters and more extreme storms. Let’s adapt our gardening style for a changing climate, drawing inspiration from local landscapes and indigenous flora to create sustainable, resilient gardens that welcome wild beings into our cities.
Rip out your lawn and replace it with a food forest. How to design a nut or fruit tree guild. Includes planting palettes for a black walnut guild, native plant guild, asian inspired guild, medicinal guild, medieval guild, ornamental guild, apple guild, pear guild and apple guilds.
Layering wildscapes: designing with plant communitiesJoyce Hostyn
When designing wildscapes, you need to think like a walnut, see like a squirrel, be like a bee and forage like a bird. Wildscapes replicate the layered structure of wild ecosystems to maximize biodiversity, habitat, resilience & beauty.
We now know that our century long quest for the perfect lawn is contributing to our climate emergency. It's time to reimagine curb appeal. Natural climate solutions offer immense possibility for helping Kingston achieve its strategic goals. Presentation to Kingston's EITP Committee.
Forest this being is: becoming forest stewards in a changing climateJoyce Hostyn
As gardeners, we've been colonized. We plant lonely trees, pines in lines and cookie cutter landscapes. How can we rewild ourselves and our approach to gardening? How can we learn to see forests as beings? How can we become forest stewards in a time of climate change?
how to design an edible landscape: unleash your inner gardenerJoyce Hostyn
Whether you have a tiny yard or a large lot, you can have a beautiful garden and eat it too! Edible landscapes filled with trees, shrubs, berries and perennial vegetables are a beautiful, sustainable method of growing food for yourself, increasing biodiversity, and attracting birds.
How to design a beautiful edible forest gardenJoyce Hostyn
Whether you have a small space or a large lot, you can have a beautiful garden and eat it too. Edible forest gardens mimic natural forests, but edibles are prioritized in plant selection. They're a natural, sustainable method of growing food for yourself, providing a habitat for wildlife and beautifying your home.
How to design a beautiful garden that attracts birds Joyce Hostyn
“Birds are good ecological indicators. If you have a diverse native bird population, it’s a sign that the ecosystem as a whole is healthy.” Convert your lawn to a beautiful, bird friendly garden. Biodiverse gardens provide the food niches, nesting sites, shelter, water, and safety that our native birds (and insects) need.
Design for dreams not needs: who do you want your customers to become?Joyce Hostyn
Who do you want your customer to become? Who do you want your coworkers, your organization, your employees, your children, your community, your country, the world to become? What gifts do you have? What gifts do they (those you are designing for) have? To answer these questions well is to discover your own dream. To answer these questions well is to uncover the dreams of those you are designing for.
Who do I want you to become? Someone who dreams beautiful dreams. Someone who helps others dream beautiful dreams. Someone who designs for dreams.
For it is through beautiful dreams that we will create more beautiful organizations, communities, and the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.
Despite spending vast amounts of time and money on employee engagement, engagement metrics remain stagnant. What if, instead of obsessing about how to increase employee engagement, how to improve and position your employer brand, or how to fight the war for talent, you instead put serious effort into thinking about how to improve and position your employees?
the art of creativity: asking provocative questionsJoyce Hostyn
Since we live in the world our questions create, "the most interesting thing you can do in life... is to call into question the rules of the game.” Questions make the impossible possible, help the unknown become known, and transform paradigms.

Digital literacy - a new language for disruptionJoyce Hostyn
To achieve the digital enterprise, you need a workforce that embraces new ways of working. One in which they’re able to harness the power of information, collaboration, and communities to get their jobs done. This requires treating digital as a new language. One with a different grammar and syntax from what people are used to. And learning a new language isn't easy. How can we empower people through digital literacy to work smarter, treating digital as a language to use to express ideas and create magical experiences that people choose to participate in and, as a consequence, change their behavior? How can we get people dreaming in digital?
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.
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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.

76. Too often communicating like this
• 981 people died in alcohol-related crashes in 2000
• Out of 420 pedestrian fatalities, 38 per cent of those
tested for alcohol had been drinking, and most of
these had BACs over 0.08.
• Almost nine out of every 10 people killed in alcohol-
related collisions (87.4 per cent) were in or on the
drinking driver's vehicle (i.e. drivers/operators or
passengers).
• Almost nine out of every 10 drivers killed in alcohol-
related collisions (87.5 per cent) were male.
• Over half (56 per cent) of the drivers killed in single-
vehicle crashes tested positive for alcohol, compared
to only 20 per cent of those killed in multiple-vehicle
crashes.
