In this episode, we got to continue talking to Dr. Beth Simon about peer instruction from the prior episode's peer instruction Teaching Practice Byte. Our host, Kristin Stephens-Martinez, shares her experience with peer instruction and asks Beth for help to improve. The episode ends with three main takeaways that Kristin has since used in her course. See the transcript on the website (https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s4e7_peer_instruction/)
Peer instruction is a way to move the easy-to-learn content to before lecture, so you can spend more time during lecture on developing understanding. In this teaching practice byte, we talk to Dr. Beth Simon from UC San Diego about peer instruction, what context she's used it in, how she does it, and nuanced details that aren't always discussed when reading about this active learning technique.

Admittedly, we're in a strange hole with our film choices this month because we've watched some predictably saccharine and inspirational “challenged” movies in which actors play characters with intellectual disabilities. They don't seem to get better. It's supposedly COMFORT FOOD all month long and each movie cringes harder than the previous and we've reached the absolute valley with the prolifically panned “Riding the Bus with My Sister” directed by Anjelica Huston. Yes, the daughter of John Huston did this. It also stars Andie MacDowell as the workaholic who takes bad photographs and has been ignoring her mentally challenged sister as played by Rosie O'Donnell. Their dad dies and it brings the sisters together and the one challenged sister ends up helping the yuppie, bad photographer, sister “find herself”. It's based on a true story from a book. Except the dead dad part. They added that in for spice. Also, “The Police” drummer, Stewart Copeland, did the music for this movie if you just want to throw in more random collaboration onto this thing. There's always some strange hubris with these types of dramas but who is this story ultimately benefitting in reality? We can't quite divorce ourselves from several questions regarding the truth and intent of the overall story of Rachel and Beth Simon. There should have been more dirt eating at the very least.

It can feel stressful and overwhelming for therapists to plan for the future when they're already focused on the business side of their private practices, helping clients, or just getting through the day-to-day life tasks. However, that feeling of stress and overwhelm can result in inaction and not being prepared for emergencies, unexpected life changes, or even death.These aren't things that can be ignored or put off forever, so it's important to have a contingency plan to make it easier for you and those around you to handle the unknown.If you don't have a contingency plan, are wondering how they work, or want to know why you need one, this episode is for you.In this episode, I talk with Mary Beth Simon, owner of Niche Partnership Consulting.Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:Understand the importance of planning for the future and what the true purpose of a contingency plan is.Learn some very simple, quick, secure, and free actions that you can do now to prepare for future emergencies that could impact your business and/or personal life.Understand the importance of security and having a system to handle what the future holds, as well as how you can do that.No one can say for sure what the future holds. For example, when COVID first hit us, many therapists in private practice had to navigate a new way of doing business and learn on the go how to handle a shutdown while still staying financially afloat. This is just one of many things that a contingency plan can help prepare for. Whether you want to make sure that your partner is covered to handle all the legal procedures in the event of your death or you just want to make sure that you can leave for a 2-month vacation at the drop of a hat, a contingency plan is the best way to make that happen using a stress-free and organized approach.More about Mary Beth:Mary Beth guides business owners to create contingency plans that prepare them and their teams for the unexpected or an extended vacation.

Have you experienced trauma? If you think you haven't, think again. And you know what? Your trauma story may feel like it crippled you, but it qualifies you for the consulting and coaching business you're creating. My guest today is Mary Beth Simon, who is the founder of Niche Partnership Consulting. Mary Beth and I met last fall when we both participated in Speaking Your Brand's Thought Leadership Academy. She turned my head when she shared the story of a traumatic event from her childhood that wound up protecting her body and her life. In this episode, Mary Beth and I talk candidly about the challenges of our lives and how those struggles actually turned into strengths. Key Takeaways: Go to therapy. Heal. If you see one thing you get emotional about over and over again, it's a place that needs healing. Come out stronger, smarter, and on fire. Part of dropping shame is dropping shame about mental health care. Make sure lifestyle is conducive to stress management and overall health. Don't be the internalized abuser to yourself. Be the opposite! Put your oxygen mask on first. Taking care of yourself is not a negative. Don't believe the lie even if people don't respect those boundaries. Listen to your voice instead of allowing other people to tell your who you are. "70 hr work weeks don't make you a valuable person." What cripples us, qualifies us. The advice Mary Beth would give her younger self, "You are stronger than you realize. Everything will work out fine. You need to trust your instincts because they will protect you and lead you in the right direction." The advice Mary Beth would give herself when she chose to leave corporate, "Where you are going is beyond your wildest dreams. Whatever you think it is going to be, it will be so much better. You are on the right track. Keep going!" The advice Mary Beth would give people who want to start their dream business but are afraid their past unqualifies them: "How much you disclose it up to you. When you're ready, your power lies in your authenticity. People will welcome you with open arms." Listen in to discover why your story holds the clues to everything you need for your ideal business. Lean into the business you are meant to create, your life purpose, and the strengths that are your true superpowers.

There is a 100% probability that you and I are going to face death one day. Our mortality is a fact we don't like to face, and often do little to prepare for until it's too late. In fact, caring.com did a study in 2021 and found that 67% of American adults don't even have a will. Mary Beth Simon was preparing to retire from a 31 year career at Vanguard when her friend, Sue was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Sue asked Mary Beth to help her husband navigate the beneficiary process if she didn't survive. Sue eventually passed away, and Mary Beth spent 3 months working with Sue's husband to recreate their entire financial landscape. You see, Sue managed the finances and investments, not her husband. The pain of watching her friend pass on, and the pain of putting the pieces together of an entire life made Mary Beth realize that we all need to do a better job empowering our loved ones and business partners to take over for us in our absence.

YOU built your business and most likely, it depends on you in some form or fashion to keep going. Even if you have a staff or other people that do a lot of the day-to-day work, they still look to you for direction. If you suddenly aren't there anymore, what happens? That's what contingency planning is all about: making a plan for what happens to your business (and your personal business) if you need to step away for a while or you just flat out can’t run the business. And my guest on this episode, Mary Beth Simon, is an expert in planning for contingencies. - Who should be creating contingency plans and what it looks like in the real world when you have to execute your plan - How important your preparation is when it comes to ensuring your business can survive a big change - Tips for planning for a worst-case scenario - How being prepared for crisis helps you be resilient in your business and personal life
When people have said to me, “You can’t do that, no one else does that,” I thought, “Let’s keep going with this and see if I can do that.” — Mary Beth Simón
