Podcasts about becoming brilliant

Get ready for an episode that is as heartfelt as it is groundbreaking.  Ya know that electric moment when two souls recognize their synergy? That was us - the day I met the exceptional Keri Murphy.    We dive right into the exhilarating highs and draining lows of entrepreneurship, the truth about launching, and the courageous steps taken even when doubt is still coming around…   The exhale that happens when you acknowledge that parenting is really fucking hard, and Keri shared something out loud that she had only prior said to her husband. Thank you Keri.    We further explore topics of emotional alignment, the invaluable wisdom birthed from deep-seated failures, and the essence of "being your own security." Our chat highlights how a single ‘yes' can open "massive portals of possibility."    Speaking of saying yes, there's a huge opportunity for you to do so and be with me and Keri in person at Brilliant, her epic event for women entrepreneurs, where I am speaking.  And someone is going to win a FREE TICKET.

Most of the communication that takes place between people is non-verbal in nature. What people say is often a poor indicator of what they want to convey, which makes people-reading a valuable life skill with almost endless benefits. Although we're all blessed with different aptitudes, it's possible to develop this skill in ourselves, as long as we can be honest about where we're starting from. • No matter which theory of model we use to help us analyze and interpret our observations, we need to consider context and how it factors in. One sign in isolation rarely leads to accurate judgments; you need to consider them in clusters. The culture people come from is another important factor that helps contextualize your analysis appropriately. • Behavior is meaningless in a void; we need to establish a baseline so that we know how to interpret what we see. This means that you need to ascertain what someone is normally like to detect deviances from that to draw accurate interpretations of when they're happy, excited, upset, etc. Hear it Here - https://bit.ly/readpeopleking Show notes and/or episode transcripts are available at https://bit.ly/social-skills-shownotes Learn more or get a free mini-book on conversation tactics at https://bit.ly/pkconsulting #NormalBaseline #StereotypicalBehaviors #TelltaleSigns #ObstaclesToBecomingBrilliantAtReadingPeople #RussellNewton #NewtonMG #PatrickKing #PatrickKingConsulting #SocialSkillsCoaching #HowtoReadPeopleLikeaBook #

Creative Parenting – Nina chats with Kathy Hirsh-Pasek about the "6 Cs" she presents in her NY Times bestselling book "Becoming Brilliant"--Collaboration, Communication, Content, Critical Thinking, Creative Innovation, Confidence. They also discuss the beauty and wisdom of children's art and what's behind all those scribbles.

In just a few years, today's children and teens will forge careers that look nothing like those that were available to their parents or grandparents. While the U.S. economy becomes ever more information-driven, our system of education seems stuck on the idea that “content is king,” neglecting other skills that 21st century citizens sorely need. Backed by the latest scientific evidence and illustrated with examples of what's being done right in schools today, http://amzn.to/2Fia4kL (Becoming Brilliant) (Affiliate link) introduces the “6Cs” collaboration, communication, content, critical thinking, creative innovation, and confidence along with ways parents can nurture their children's development in each area. Join me for an engaging chat with award-winning Professor Roberta Golinkoff about the key takeaways from the book.

Howdy from Texas, You Beautiful Soul!Today on the podcast, I'm joined by one of the most brilliant thinkers you'll ever hear--mind you, this isn't what HE says, it's just my estimation of him, how he thinks, and the extraordinarily unique way in which he approaches all things in life.It's my friend, Ameer Rosic.From his bio at AmeerRosic.com, he's a:Multiple Founder, Investor, Philosophy Junkie, and Psychonaut.You're about to be blessed with hearing Ameer talk about how he's turned from being a 9th-grade dropout into a phenomenal life of love, learning, abundance, He's one of the most interesting people you'll ever get a chance to meet, virtual or otherwise, and I know you'll get that when you press play on this edition of the podcast!In this VERY far-ranging conversation about leading a better life, here's some of what we discuss:Epigenetics. The software for life.Life Experiments.Social norms and feedback loops.Capital "R" religion and some of Ameer's spiritual beliefs (he's studied a lot into this)Spirituality as a base for our ACTIONS.The two coming futures: natural or Gattica?The thesis for A.I. and how it might think."Heaven is on Earth, and man doesn't know it."How Ameer got to be so freaking brilliant!How Ameer reads (or has a relationship with a book)!An easy hack for learning another language.How he and we remember so much of what we read and learn.What he's looking for when he reads a book.The MIRACLE of new life and him being a proud new Papa.2 BIG THINGS to lead a better life.Emotional Bank Accounts and what life is all about.And...a whole lot more. These lists are never all-inclusive!I should warn you, there are a few "F" bombs--although not nearly as many as I thought there would be, and traditional "big R" religion is tested here, so I hope you can allow that to your ears. I promise you'll be blessed for it.Thank you for listening to The ChipChat Podcast.Please know that you're loved and deserving!Chip ❤️

Having a strong EQ can change your life, both personal and professional. On today's show, Cate Dalton, a certified educator on Emotional Intelligence explains what is EQ, why it's important and how you can increase this skill.

Welcome to the School for Good Living podcast. This is the 2nd solo episode this month and it’s just you, me, and my producer Dallan. Today I open up about my own struggles with identity and how a sweat lodge experience in New Mexico helped me clarify the constant questions – Who am I? What … Continue reading "Solo Episode #2: Becoming Brilliant"

This episode revisits the concept of the 30 Million Word Gap concept, which we first covered in an interview with Dr. Doug Sperry (https://yourparentingmojo.com/wordgap/) a few weeks back. After she heard that I was going to talk with Dr. Sperry, Dr. Roberta Golinkoff – with whom we discussed her book Becoming Brilliant (https://yourparentingmojo.com/becomingbrilliant/) almost two years ago now – asked to come back on to present a rebuttal.  We’re going to learn a lot more about the importance of child-directed speech! This episode serves two purposes: it helps us to understand another aspect of the 30 Million Word Gap, and it also demonstrates pretty clearly that scientists – both of whom have the best interests of children at heart – see very different ways of achieving that end.

We’ve done a couple of episodes on reading by now; episode 3 (which seems so long ago!) asked whether you might have missed the boat on teaching your toddler to read (https://yourparentingmojo.com/003-your-toddler-isnt-reading-yet-neither-is-mine/) .  Of course, we know that you’ve only missed the boat on that if you think that sitting your child in front of a video so they can recite the words they see without really understanding them counts as “reading.” Much more recently in episode 48 we talked with Dr. Laura Froyen about the benefits of shared reading (https://yourparentingmojo.com/reading/) with your child and how to do that according to best practices from the research literature. Those of you who subscribe to my newsletter will recall that I’ve been working on an episode on storytelling for months now.  Part of the reason it’s taking so long is that books on storytelling technique say to use original stories wherever possible because the language in them is so much richer, but if you’ve ever read something like an original fairytale you know they can be pretty gory, and even the most harmless ones actually contain some pretty adult themes if you read between the lines. So I wanted to know: what do children really learn from stories?  How do they figure out that we want them to learn morals from stories but not that animal characters walk on two legs and wear clothes?  How do they generalize that knowledge to the real world?  And are there specific types of books that promote learning? Join me in a conversation with Dr. Deena Weisberg of The University of Pennsylvania as she helps us to help our children learn through reading!

Our interview today is with Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, Ph.D, author of the book ​Einstein Never Used Flashcards: How Our Children Really Learn--and Why They Need to Play More and Memorize Less about the new book she has written with Roberta Michnick Golinkoff, Becoming Brilliant: What Science Tells us About Raising Successful Children. It's so inspiring to hear her vision for the future of education. Here's a sample: "I want to suggest that teacher's make a difference every day. I meet wonderful people who are out there giving of themselves to help every child get a chance and I think teachers are just the most remarkable people. I don't believe that any of us, including teachers, can do it all and sometimes society expects us to solve every problem, to make every cure, and I think that's an unfair burden. Trust yourself... learn what we know and use it. There's a lot of science of learning that's out there for the taking so we shouldn't just do what the book told us to do on Tuesdays because it's Tuesday. Learn a little bit about what goes behind the teaching. Not just what the response ought to be; what the processes are. I'll tell you why that's so important. One day I went to a school and a little girl raised her hand because they were asking about an animal, what animal was it, and the kid got it wrong, but the kid said "tiger" instead of "cat". There was an opportunity there because "tiger" wasn't as wrong as "bear" or "snake" or "bird". If you thought about the process you could say, "Actually, a tiger's related to the feline family!" That helps the kids make connections to have stronger vocabulary. So learn what's out there. Trust yourself. Learn what's out there. Help parents understand that you're their best advocate and amid all the constraints that are out there, and, gosh, I know there are many. Try, at least, beyond those constraints to add you. To add a love of learning, a little bit of playful learning, in that classroom."

In just a few years, today’s children and teens will forge careers that look nothing like those that were available to their parents or grandparents. While the U.S. economy becomes ever more information-driven, our system of education seems stuck on the idea that “content is king,” neglecting other skills that 21st century citizens sorely need.

Today’s episode is called Becoming Brilliant. I’m so excited to welcome my guest today, Roberta Golinkoff. I reached out to her because I’d read her book, Einstein never used flashcards, which advocated for a young children’s learning through play rather than through expensive toys or high pressure classes. So when her new book Becoming Brilliant came out, I knew I had to read it and I absolutely dance a jig the day that she agreed to join us here on Your Parenting Mojo. I’m so excited. Thank you so much for joining us. Roberto. Dr. Golinkoff:                    (https://www.temi.com/editor/t/3QxeJx_MGF-9UGFYVItEFwyJCe0ObfQ5h9PMWEqUjMvGSwmwNIApmx0BY1qWupA1wWKoHAna0kN8enoW9U9entpf28Y?loadFrom=DocumentDeeplink&ts=62.52)                    You know, it’s funny, but I danced a jig too! I’m so happy to able to talk about these issues and it’s such a pleasure to meet you, Jen. I hope I get to see you next time I’m out in California.

All right, well let me formally introduce you. Dr. Golinkoff is the Unidel H. Rodney Sharp Professor of Education, Psychology, and Linguistics at the University of Delaware. She has won a fellowship and many prizes for her work and she served as an Associate Editor of Child Development, which really is the premier journal in her field and she’s also authored over 150 journal Publications, book chapters, and 14 books and monographs. Her official bio says that she has appeared on numerous radio and television shows and in print media and never turns down an opportunity to spread the findings of psychological science to the lay public so I can vouch for her on that front at least.

This is the first episode in my new podcast called "Come into our Classroom," intended to invite parents in my classroom (and others) to learn about their child's educational journey and go a bit deeper into the methods. In this pilot episode, I discuss the book Becoming Brilliant and apply its takeaways to teachers setting up before school begins.

Are we measuring the wrong rubric for success in our kids? Kathy Hirsch Pasek, co-author of "Becoming Brilliant: What Science Tells Us About Raising Successful Children" reviews the 6 Cs to Success. She has appeared on 20/20, The Today Show, NPR among other shows. We're pleased to hear her thoughts on Pokemon Go, how to build collaborative skills and critical thinking in children and the question of how much is too much when building a child's confidence. Kathy is the Director of Temple University's Infant Language Laboratory and recipient of the American Psychological Association's Bronfenbrenner Award for Lifetime Contribution to Developmental Psychology in the service of Science and Society.

, senior fellow in the  and a psychology professor at Temple University, and University of Delaware professor Roberta Michnick Golinkoff, also a psychologist, discuss their new book: "." In this podcast, Hirsh-Pasek and Golinkoff discuss ways to reimagine what successful learning looks like in a global world using six major skills that will help kids succeed beyond traditional perceptions of success such as good test scores. “What we need to do is train thinkers, to be able to attack the problems in the world,” Golinkoff says. These skills prepare children to become competitive business leaders, entrepreneurs, and scientific pioneers. As Hirsh-Pasek says, “The times have changed. As more businesses realize that their interactions are going to be global, they realize that they need creative thinkers, innovators, and problem solvers.” Also stay tuned for our regular economic update with as he looks at four big questions to determine what this year and next will look like for the U.S. economy.
