Flashing Back to the First Day of School

I am taking a class tomorrow - not teaching - taking! And I am like a kid getting my backpack ready for the first day of school. Notebook, check...favorite pen, check...lunch so I don't have to leave, check...diet coke and red bull to keep me focused, check...

The beauty of lifelong learning is you always have that thrill of learning something new, stretching your wings, stepping outside of your comfort zone. You've seen that medicine commercial...a body at rest will stay at rest. I believe the mind is the same way. (I know, there are lots of neuroscience books out there that say the same thing and give scientific data and proof. But do you really need it? Don't you know that feeling when you learn something new? It has to be good for you!)

So as I look forward to my day tomorrow, I encourage you to look at your schedule this week. I am pretty sure you have a pile of articles and books (either actual or virtual) just waiting for your attention. Can you carve out one hour this week to learn something completely new?

Tell us what you learned!

Receiving Feedback

We've all read lots of books and articles on giving feedback, but what is the best way to receive feedback? My default response used to be to explain my position, show how I do what the person is asking, or show how I wanted to but someone else prevented me. If I am caught off guard or stressed, these are still my gut instincts. However, I have learned two much more constructive ways to respond to feedback that I strive to use more often.

What an Extraverted Intuitive Needs to be Productive

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is based on the work of Swiss psychiatrist Carl G. Jung. Jung observed that people have inborn preferences for gathering information and making decisions and that these preferences guide an individual’s behavior. The mother/daughter team of Katherine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers expanded on Jung’s theories and created an assessment to make the combined work accessible to all individuals. Today, the assessment is used by most Fortune 100 companies and over two million people worldwide, annually. The assessment identifies an individual’s inborn preferences on four dichotomous scales: where you focus your energy, how you prefer to take in information, how you make decisions, and how you deal with the outer world. Type is best used to understand other people, improve communication, and develop individual skills. The first dichotomy is Extraversion (gets energy from other people) and Introversion (gets energy from reflection). The second...
