Do You Know Why Achieving Work/Life Balance is so Hard? We Do! [Survey Results]domain .ME
Being active, engaged and successful is not an easy task. From the moment we open our eyes, until we fall asleep exhausted at night, we seem to confront a never-ending list of urgent tasks: taking out the trash, preparing lunch for our family, rushing to business meetings, checking our email on the fly.
And even when we should be relaxing, we are not. As true representatives of multitasking society we are watching a movie and thinking about what we have left unfinished at work; getting our nails done and nervously tapping our feet, in a constant hurry by default. Ironically, it’s precisely this downtime – most often called ME time – that helps us recharge and face all our responsibilities.
As .ME crew is made of experienced professionals who know all about the challenges of achieving work/life balance, we came to an idea of starting a ME Day movement – a day when we will make time to celebrate our achievements, embrace our uniqueness and put ourselves first. With that in mind, we conducted an informal ME Day Survey that included 753 respondents from the USA. We wanted to see how much time people devote to themselves, to ensure their physical, mental and spiritual well-being!
Emotions Drive Our Performance by Sandra Van Den Ordel Xtraordinary Women

08 May Xtraordinary Women: Somerset West
TOPIC: Our Emotions Drive Our Performance
Becoming aware of and learning to manage our emotions can be one of the most rewarding practices we ever learn. Our emotions drive us; they inspire us, or sometimes they pull us down until we feel like we cannot get up. As this happens, it impacts others around us too.
This is true for all of us and it is also the reason why emotional knowledge and skills are imperative in the business environment. Emotions are inherently neither good nor bad. It’s what we do with the information and energy they produce that makes the difference.
In this presentation, you will be introduced to an integrated framework for Emotional intelligence (EQ) and discover the link between EQ and personal effectiveness in business. This information about EQ will be useful, insightful, practical and relevant to you as a woman in business.
Other areas to be covered include:
• What are the benefits of developing EQ in business?
• Understanding how emotions impact and influence behaviour in the highly complex interaction between an individual and the environment
• Exposure to components of the EQ2.0 model with practical applications
• The neuroscience behind EQ - How the understanding of neuroscience can enable you to interact more effectively with others

A presentation given to the Xtraordinary Women in Business Network in Blouberg on 18 April 2013 by Chris Farquharson, Chartered Account and owner of True North Accounting.
TOPIC: Sole Proprietor vs. Pty: Legal meets Finance
So, they say – “Rome was not built in a day” and that is certainly true for any business. Most small businesses start off as sole proprietorships or even partnerships, simply in order to save costs. Some on the other hand because the other options are often widely misunderstood.
Is there really a cost saving and if there is, is cost saving really worth the risk?
An insightful morning was spent with Nicolene Schoeman and Chris Farquharson as they shared the legal and financial practical business solutions to these challenges.

About Our Guest Speaker:
Angela Greyling – VisionWorx. Having been drawn to people, their behaviours and emotions, and a desire to develop individuals, Angela studied a BA Degree in Industrial Psychology at Rhodes University. Her career has included working in the distance learning environment as a Student Advisor, Recruitment Consulting, Managing teams of Recruitment Consultants, owning a Training Consultancy – Outsourced Training Solutions – and for something completely different, owning a Florist. Her interest in psychology also led her to being trained as a Life Line Counsellor and more recently completing a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Coaching Practitioner Certification Course. Today Angela runs her own business called VisionWorx – www.visionworx.co.za.
Her fascination with why some individuals are able to cope better with stress and fear than others led her to the work of Dr Susan Jeffers. Angela is now a Licensed Trainer for the workshop Feel the fear and do it anyway. All these career choices had to do with motivating, listening, developing, training and assisting people to be the very best they could be.
Her 10 years management experience has given her many opportunities to not only develop individuals, but also look at the efficiencies of teams, systems and rely on tried and tested strategic frameworks to ensure that people’s strengths are aligned to a team’s mission and objectives, which are in turn aligned to the organization’s vision. The workshops that she has developed, have been a personal quest, drawn from her training knowledge, experience with people who she has managed, motivated and coached, vast sales experience and her innate desire to make things better than when she found them!

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
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.

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.

No “Ordinary” Business Network
3. WHISPERED GUIDANCE
If we humble ourselves and become like a child we
will never lose the expectation of what is yet to
come.
In this way we will see the magic unfold.
4. HUMBLENESS
•
Humility vs. Self-worth?
•
Lose the I – your worth increases, your
acknowledgement will come from the Universe, from
your heart and from others
•
Humbleness allows you to listen and hear the heart –
the world of no judgement
•
Ego defends and justifies
5. EXPECTATION
•
You cannot take care of yourself, yet you remain
responsible?
•
With childlike wonder – look forward to the outcome
•
There is nothing that you do that is not in line with
where you are supposed to be right now
•
You will be guided – stay in expectation, remain
humble
