People Who Cause You Harm: How to Explain Dramatic and Erratic Personality Di...Jeni Mawter
This presentation identifies a massive gap in trauma-informed care for young people, the long-term harm of having a parent or family member with a personality disorder, specifically the Cluster “B” Personality Disorders.
Society is going through a radical shift in how it views, treats and manages Anxiety, Depression, Suicide Prevention, and Substance Abuse and Addiction. Rapid technological advances are seeing a cross fertilization between the traditional medical sciences of neurology and psychiatry. The traditional approach was that damage to the nervous system resulted in neurological disorders whereas psychiatric disorders involved disturbed behavior and emotional states. Today we know that neurological changes underpin psychiatric disorders as well as mental health and mental illness.
Another huge breakthrough in the neuropsychiatric research findings is the link to Mental Health and Trauma. Childhood Trauma initially focused on physical abuse in the Domestic Violence setting. Gradually, emotional abuse was taken into consideration to address risk and harm. Children and young people were considered at risk in light of such factors as homelessness, refugee and asylum seekers, juvenile justice settings and for those in indigenous communities. The issue of personality disorder and family relationships and breakdown has been ignored.
A personality disorder is a mental health disorder that affects how a person thinks, behaves and relates to others. The Cluster “B” parent has erratic and dramatic emotions and behaviors. Regulating emotions and maintaining healthy relationships is impossible. They are impulsive, low in empathy and low in conscience. They have a need to manipulate, control and disempower others. For family members, specifically their children, this culminates in significant distress and trauma. There is considerable harm to social, emotional, cognitive, spiritual and educational development.
Currently, there are almost no resources for children and young adults who have a Cluster “B” parent. The first step to healing is education to understand what, how and why this has happened to them. This SlideShare presentation aims to shed light on such questions as: What happened to me? Am I crazy? Are they the psycho or am I? Why do I feel so depressed/anxious/worthless? Most importantly, the goal is to help towards hope and healing, good mental health, resilience and peace.
Call to Action: Cluster “B” pathology is insidious, pernicious, deliberate and dangerous. These parents have tremendous destructive potential. Harm is hidden behind charm. They impact homes, families, workplaces, relationships and societies. Education is critical for every person in every system caught in the aftermath of dealing with their destruction: mental health, general health, family law, police departments, criminal justice, domestic violence and social service.

Here are top 6 positive thinking tips that can help you change the way you think about other people and things around. To learn more tips of this type, click the link: http://vkool.com/discover-16-positive-thinking-tips/.
1. Treat Others As You Want To Be Treated
All people wish to be treated with respect. The way that you behave others shows your personality. Therefore, if you want to have good personality, including positive thoughts, you should treat other people the way you want to be treated. If you want to be trusted by friends, learn to trust them first. If you want to be loved by your relatives, learn to love them first. If you want to be welcomed by neighbors, learn to welcome them first.
2. Be Tolerant
In order to build positive thoughts, you should learn to forgive people who make you sad or angry. You even need to learn to forgive the ones who offend you. No matter what they do to you, they are teaching you some good lessons in life.
Moreover, you should be honestly happy when people around you succeed in life or at work. Do not be jealous with them as jealousy is one of the typical causes of negative thinking.
3. Avoid Negative Self-Talk
Among positive thinking tips, avoiding negative self-talk is the most important. What you talk to yourself also will result in the way you behave people around. If your mind is full of negative self-talk, you will not be able to treat others with respect as you may believe that they do not deserve your good behavior. When you are in that situation, try to eliminate your negative talk, and tell yourself that everyone may make mistakes, but everyone has something for you to learn from.
4. Do Meditation Or Yoga
Bath helps clean your body and meditation helps clean and refresh your mind. People who meditate on a regular basis have more positive thoughts than the ones who do not meditate. Meditation will certainly become the future of mankind. If you are a wise person, you should start doing meditation today to enjoy its benefits, to think more positively, and to have a better life.
Yoga helps you stop thinking negatively about others as it is really relaxing when you do it. Doing yoga also helps ease and refresh your mind, building positive thoughts.
5. Help People Around
If you can live for others, your mind will always be clean and relaxed. Helping people around is one of the top positive thinking tips. When you try your best to give others a helping hand, you are building your dignity. What you give others will certainly return to you some ways. If you help others, your mind will be built up with love, respect, and gratitude. As a result, you will be thinking positively.
6. Make Friends With Positive People
When you are with positive people, you can learn from them the way they treat others, and the way they think about life. You will gradually change the way you think as positive as they do.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

2. Basics of Effective
Communication
♦ It matters not so much what you say as it
does how you say it.
♦ Your communication style is a SET of
various behaviors and methods of relaying
information that impact all facets of life.
♦ The goal should always be to understand –
not to be right.
3. Basics of Effective
Communication, cont.
♦ Get the facts before you pass judgment. Some
styles lend themselves better to this than others.
♦ Learning all communication styles is important in
order to avoid communicating in less effective
ways and in order to recognize those styles in
others so as to be able to deal with them.
♦ People are not difficult. They only seem difficult
to the extent that we do not have the skills to deal
with what they bring to the table. It is our lack of
knowledge that makes the situation difficult.
4. Which is the Best Style?
♦ All styles have their proper place and use.
♦ Assertive communication is the healthiest.
– Boundaries of all parties are respected.
– Easier to problem-solve; fewer emotional
outbursts.
– It requires skills and a philosophy change, as
well as lots of practice and hard work.
– When both parties do it, no one is hurt in any
way and all parties win on some level.
5. Passive Communication
♦ Allowing our own rights to be violated by
failing to express our honest feelings.
♦ The goal of being a passive communicator
is to avoid conflict no matter what.
♦ Little risk involved – very safe.
♦ Little eye contact, often defers to others’
opinions, usually quiet tone, may suddenly
explode after being passive too long.
6. Examples of Passive
Communication
♦ “I don’t know.”
♦ “Whatever you think.”
♦ “You have more experience than I. You
decide.”
♦ “I’ll go with whatever the group decides.”
♦ “I don’t care. It doesn’t matter to me.”
♦ “Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. . . NO!”
7. Aggressive Communication
♦ Protecting one’s own rights at the expense of
others’ rights – no exceptions.
♦ The goal of the aggressor is to win at all costs; to
be right.
♦ Does not consider actions a risk because this
person thinks they will always get their way. It is
risky in terms of relationships, however.
♦ Eye contact is angry and intimidating; lots of
energy; loud and belittling; never defers to others,
or at least does not admit to; manipulative and
controlling. Often uses violence or verbal abuse.
8. Examples of Aggressive
Communication
♦ “I don’t know why you can’t see that this is
the right way to do it.”
♦ “It’s going to be my way or not at all.”
♦ “You’re just stupid if you think that will
work.”
♦ “That kind of logic will sink the company.”
♦ “Who cares what you feel. We’re talking
about making things work here.”
9. Passive-Aggressive
Communication
♦ Forfeiting your own rights initially, followed by
manipulation and vengeance later.
♦ The goal of this style is to avoid conflict and then
make the other party wish they had seen it your
way.
♦ Avoids risk initially, risks relationships later, then
acts surprised when people are mad.
♦ Behaves passively to people’s face, then
aggressively when they are not around. Often
uses sarcasm.
10. Examples of Passive-Aggressive
Communication
♦ “Sure, doctor. I’d be happy to write that
verbal order,” but back on the unit the order
is “forgotten.”
♦ “I love your hair. Most people probably
can’t even tell it’s a wig.”
♦ “I hear what you’re saying, and I wouldn’t
want to make waves, so I’ll do what you
say even though someone will probably get
sued.”
11. Assertive Communication
♦ Protecting your own rights without violating the
rights of others.
♦ The goal of the assertive person is to communicate
with respect and to understand each other; to find
a solution to the problem.
♦ Takes a risk with others in the short run, but in the
long run relationships are much stronger.
♦ Eye contact maintained; listens and validates
others; confident and strong, yet also flexible;
objective and unemotional; presents wishes clearly
and respectfully.
12. Examples of Assertive
Communication
♦ “So what you’re saying is. . . .”
♦ “I can see that this is important to you, and
it is also important to me. Perhaps we can
talk more respectfully and try to solve the
problem.”
♦ “I think. . . I feel. . . I believe that. . . .”
♦ “I would appreciate it if you. . .”
14. I - Persistence
1.
2.
3.
Stay focused on the issue – do not get distracted,
defensive, or start justifying yourself.
Repeat the “bottom line” to keep the
conversation on track and your issues on the
table (e.g., “I understand that, however we are
talking about. . .”).
Alternative styles would withdraw or would
escalate this to a battle of wills that would
override compromise.
15. II - Objectivity
1. Focus on the problem, not on the emotions
that often accompany and cloud problems.
Postpone discussion if emotions cannot
be contained.
2. Use the validation skill (next) to handle
others’ emotions so you can focus on
objective issues.
16. III - Validation
♦ Allow people to have their experience, but try to
move beyond it to a discussion about the problem.
♦ You do not necessarily have to disagree or agree –
people’s perspectives are important, but they are
not the heart of the issue, so don’t make a battle
over them. Validate them and get to the issue.
♦ “If that’s how you see it, that’s fine.”
♦ “I can see that this upsets you, and from your
perspective, I can see why. Now, what can we do
to make this better for both of us?”
17. IV - Owning
♦ Being assertive means you also must own what is
yours to own. If the other person has a point
about your behavior, own it (this is the “. .
.without violating the rights of others” part).
Bulldozing over that is aggressive.
♦ Accept someone’s criticism as feedback rather
than an attack. (e.g., “You could be right about that. . .”,
“That is entirely possible, knowing me. . .”) Where is
the value in fighting another’s negative opinion
about us? Perspective is hard to change when
directly challenged. This shows that IF their
perspective were true, you’d own it.
18. V – Challenging False
Information
♦ When attacked with false and negative statements,
do not fall prey to defensiveness. That only
escalates emotions.
♦ Look for the grain of truth and validate it. This
knocks barrier walls down and opens the door for
discussion about the real problem.
♦ At times people are rigid and a more forceful
stance is needed. E.g., “I’m sorry, I simply do not
see it that way, but you are more than entitled to
your opinion.”
♦ Disagree, using factual information. E.g.,
“Actually, I was at work, so that could not have
been me.”
19. VI – Pumping the Negatives
♦ When criticized, ask for more negative feedback –
do so assertively, as though you are trying to learn
more about how to be better in that area (and in
fact, that should be your goal). E.g., “Tell me
more about what is bothering you about my
report.”
♦ Stay task oriented!!! If you slip into emotions and
get offended, you lose. Pump practical negatives
(not baseless criticisms) and how your actions can
be improved to help solve the problems.
20. VII – Humor
♦ Humor breaks down negative emotions.
♦ Humor can put tense situations at ease.
♦ When grain of truth is found, joke about it
while owning it.
♦ Be careful to use humor appropriately and
professionally.
21. When Aggression is Appropriate
♦ In an emergency
♦ When there is not time to spend on a
compromise.
♦ When your opinion is based on several
facts, you therefore KNOW you are right,
and there is not time to utilize assertiveness
skills.
22. When Passivity is Appropriate
♦ When the results of pushing the issue would
cause problems that outweigh the benefits.
♦ When issues are minor.
♦ When there is a power differential that is
not in your favor and the other party is
getting agitated by your assertiveness.
♦ When the other individual’s position is
impossible to change. (E.g., the law).
23. What is “Okay” in Assertive
Behavior
♦ It is okay to say “I don’t know.”
♦ It is okay to say “No,” or “I cannot do that.”
♦ It is okay to make mistakes as long as
responsibility is taken for them.
♦ It is okay to disagree and to verbalize that.
♦ It is okay to challenge others’ opinions or actions.
♦ It is okay to not accept another’s opinion as
factual or accurate (e.g., getting criticized).
♦ It is okay to ask for a change in behavior.
24. Summary
♦ Every time we decide to communicate with
another person, we select a style of
communication. Notice yours, and notice
theirs.
♦ Being assertive is not synonymous with an
anger management problem – it is
protecting your rights without violating
others’.
25. Summary, cont.
♦ Get ALL the facts you can before you pass
judgment.
♦ Assertiveness allows you to face confrontation in
a healthy way and without getting overly
emotional.
♦ People are not difficult. They only seem difficult
to the extent that we do not have the skills to deal
with what they bring to the table. It is our lack of
knowledge that makes the situation difficult.
