L'une des meilleures choses à faire est d'encourager et d'édifier les autres. Dites quelque chose de positif aux gens qui vous entourent concernant leur identité ou l'appréciation que vous avez pour eux. Ou dites-leur combien Dieu les aime et veut les bénir. L'encouragement est puissant. Il permet aux gens de se sentir mieux en tous points. Je me souviens qu'un jour j'ai reçu un SMS de mon plus jeune fils. Tout ce qu'il disait était : « Je t'aime, maman ! » En une fraction de seconde, je me suis littéralement sentie rafraîchie par ses paroles. Elles m'ont donné la dose supplémentaire de force dont j'avais besoin ce jour-là. Pensez aux personnes que vous allez côtoyer aujourd'hui. Soyez reconnaissant de les avoir dans votre vie et demandez à Dieu de vous aider à leur dire des paroles d'encouragement. Vous pourriez être surpris de la différence que cela va apporter non seulement pour eux, mais encore pour vous. Père, je te prie que tout au long de ma journée tu me montres de nouvelles façons d'encourager et d'édifier les autres. Merci pour les occasions que tu me donnes de faire une différence dans la vie des autres. Je veux saisir mes occasions aujourd'hui. — Êtes-vous prêt à aller plus loin ?

La confiance… vaste concept, pourtant si important dans la vie d'un être humain.Vous avez peut-être toujours manqué de confiance en vous parce qu'on vous a répété quand vous étiez petite que vous étiez nulle, que vous ne saviez pas faire que vous n'y arriverez jamais que le monde extérieur est dangereux. Vous avez donc peut-être grandi avec des lunettes de la peur et non de la confiance.Pas facile dans ces cas là d'être parents et de réussir à donner ce sentiment de confiance à nos enfants. Une des définition donnée par le Larousse est : Sentiment de sécurité d'une personne qui se fie à elle-même.Cette notion de sécurité est primordiale. La confiance naît par le biais de la relation parents/enfants ou en tout cas via la personne qui prend soin de l'enfant.Elle peut aussi être donnée par l'entourage et notamment à travers l'école.Vous l'avez compris, ce sont nous les adultes qui aidons nos enfants à ressentir de la confiance en eux dans leurs premières années de vie.Dans cet épisode, je vous partage 3 choses que vous pouvez faire pour favoriser la confiance de votre / vos enfant·s.N'hésitez pas à partager vos tips pour encourager vos enfants à avoir confiance en eux.

This message is about the importance of encouraging others.

In today's complex world, parenting is a tough job and especially difficult today because of the adversity we face in our culture. Beyond the difficulties of the changing world we live in, there are also the daily frictions of imperfect people sharing a home together. However, Jenny's guest, Dr. Danny Huerta, Focus on the Family's Vice President of Parenting & Youth, Psychologist, and clinical social worker offers hope and help for you to become an effective parent. His book titled “7 Traits of Effective Parenting” will inspire and equip you to guide children with grace and love—so they may come to understand God's deep love for them and to follow Jesus. God gives us contributors, encouragers and/or influencers in our lives and you may be one or more of these, too! And as we explore these traits together, you may find they not only strengthen your parenting, but also deepen and enrich your marriage. You can take the assessment you'll hear about at Focus on the Family.com /7 traits assessment LP. You can find his book online at Amazon and Focus on The Family. focusonthefamily.com.  For many years, Danny has provided families with practical, biblically-based, and research-based parenting advice on key parenting topics.

My daughter was all excited about the sign she saw at the airport. It was actually over the door at a terminal, and it simply said, "Through these doors pass the greatest employees in the world." She said, "You know, Dad, that would make me feel like I was really doing a good job if I came under that every day." It gives you something you want to live up to. I hope you're posting the right kind of sign. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "I'll Become What You Call Me." Well, our word for today from the Word of God is from Acts 4, and I'm going to read beginning at verse 36 where a man gets a name change. "Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means Son of Encouragement), sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet." Now, notice Joseph becomes Barnabas, The Encourager. We read about him on several occasions in the book of Acts, not the least of which is when he came with Saul of Tarsus, who had just come to Christ. Now, remember, Saul had been persecuting the church. He was like public enemy number one for the Christians. But, "When Saul came to Jerusalem, (Acts says) he tried to join the disciples, and they were all afraid of him. But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles." This is the kind of thing Barnabas does throughout his ministry. He goes on to encourage new Gentile believers in Antioch, and nobody's quite sure about them. He rehabilitates Mark when Paul fires him. The point is, the apostles called Joseph an encourager, and he just kept living up to what they called him. That's a principle of human behavior. We tend to become the name we're called. That airline seems to know that, "Through these doors pass the greatest employees in the world." If you call them that, maybe they'll live up to it. That means you have at your disposal a powerful tool for building people, or a destructive weapon for tearing them down. For example, what names do you call your son or daughter? How many times have you said stupid, or lazy, or rebel, or problem? Well, you're programming them with ideas about themselves, and they may then go on to just prove you right. Think about what you've called your husband or wife lately, or that person who frustrates you - that person who's so irritating, so negative. You can help change a person if you'll look for their strengths and tell them what you see. Call them that good thing. Find a name you can use to bring out their best. Maybe that person, for all of their weaknesses, all of their negativeness, maybe they're obnoxious, but are they generous? Maybe they're sensitive, they fight for their family. Maybe they're a person of conviction; they're organized. Maybe they have a great smile, or a great spirit, or a budding talent. Would you tell them what you see? Would they make a great Christian if they turned their mind and talents toward Christ? Sometimes I've said that to people. "You know what, you would make a great follower of Jesus." Then they look surprised and I tell them their qualities that would make them a great follower of His. "With a mind like yours, with a gift like yours, oh what a follower of Christ you would be!" Tell the people around you who they could be with the strengths that they have, even if you only see a little bit of it. Because by naming it, you can nurture it. Look at those people close to you as if they were wearing a big old sign that says, "I'll become what you call me."

Pastor Steve is talking about Encouragers and Givers today. The gift of encouragement and the gift of giving are both motivational gifts from God.

La présence d'un minuteur sur les ventilateurs en Corée du Sud est directement liée à une croyance populaire très répandue, connue sous le nom de "fan death" (mort par ventilateur). Selon cette idée, dormir dans une pièce hermétiquement close avec un ventilateur en marche pourrait provoquer la mort, notamment pendant la nuit.Cette croyance, encore très ancrée dans l'imaginaire collectif sud-coréen, a plusieurs explications — aucune scientifiquement fondée, mais toutes révélatrices d'un mélange de préoccupations médicales, culturelles et historiques.Les explications avancéesPlusieurs théories ont été proposées pour expliquer cette "mort par ventilateur" :L'asphyxie : le ventilateur ferait baisser le taux d'oxygène ou augmenterait celui de dioxyde de carbone dans une pièce close. En réalité, un ventilateur ne consomme pas d'oxygène : il brasse simplement l'air existant.L'hypothermie : selon cette hypothèse, un souffle d'air constant pendant la nuit pourrait faire chuter la température corporelle jusqu'à provoquer la mort, surtout chez des personnes âgées ou affaiblies. Là encore, aucune donnée scientifique sérieuse ne vient confirmer ce lien.Les perturbations du rythme respiratoire : certains avancent que le souffle d'air perturberait la respiration durant le sommeil. Mais aucune étude n'a pu établir de mécanisme réel.Une origine historique et politique probableCe mythe pourrait avoir été renforcé — voire entretenu — dans les années 1970 par les autorités sud-coréennes, à une époque où le gouvernement cherchait à limiter la consommation d'électricité. Encourager les gens à éteindre les ventilateurs pendant la nuit via une "alerte santé" aurait été un moyen détourné de réduire la demande énergétique sans imposer de restrictions officielles.Pourquoi le minuteur ?Face à cette croyance, les fabricants coréens ont intégré un minuteur automatique sur leurs ventilateurs, permettant à l'appareil de s'éteindre après une durée déterminée. Ce geste rassurant répond à la demande des consommateurs, même si le risque est inexistant. C'est un exemple typique de technologie façonnée par une croyance culturelle.En résuméLa mort par ventilateur est une légende urbaine coréenne profondément ancrée, sans base scientifique, mais avec des racines historiques et sociales. Elle a néanmoins eu un impact concret sur la conception des produits domestiques, illustrant comment une croyance peut façonner la technologie d'un pays. Hébergé par Acast.

Ce jeudi 26 juin, l'exclusion des séniors des programmes de recrutement des entreprises, et les stratégies qu'il convient de mettre en place pour changer cette culture et augmenter le taux d'emploi de ces moins jeunes, ont été abordées par Emmanuel Combe, professeur à l'université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne et à la Skema Business School, Laurent Vronski, directeur général d'Ervor, et Olivier Babeau, président de l'Institut Sapiens, dans l'émission Les Experts, présentée par Nicolas Doze sur BFM Business.

Le flex office, ou bureau flexible, est une organisation du travail dans laquelle les salariés n'ont plus de poste de travail attitré. Concrètement, au lieu d'avoir un bureau fixe, chacun s'installe chaque jour dans l'espace de travail disponible selon ses besoins : open space, salle de réunion, espace calme, zone de coworking, etc. En 2024, 26 % des salariés sont en flex office.Voici les grandes caractéristiques du flex office :1. Suppression du bureau personnelLes salariés n'ont plus de bureau dédié. Ils rangent leurs affaires dans des casiers personnels ou les transportent au quotidien.2. Espaces partagés et modulablesLes bureaux sont organisés par zones d'usage (collaboration, concentration, réunions informelles…), souvent avec des outils numériques pour réserver un poste à l'avance.3. Objectif : optimisation de l'espaceLe flex office permet aux entreprises de réduire leurs coûts immobiliers, en adaptant les surfaces aux besoins réels. En moyenne, un poste de travail n'est occupé que 60 % du temps (télétravail, réunions, déplacements…), ce qui rend possible cette mutualisation.4. Encourager la mobilité et la collaborationEn changeant régulièrement de place, les salariés croisent plus de collègues, ce qui favorise les échanges transversaux et casse les silos hiérarchiques.5. Effets contrastés sur le bien-êtreLe flex office séduit certaines entreprises, mais il suscite aussi des critiques :Perte de repères ou de sentiment d'appartenance,Manque d'intimité ou de confort,Stress logistique (chercher un poste, gérer ses affaires personnelles…).Ces points ont été confirmés par plusieurs études, notamment une étude de 2021 menée par l'Université de Leeds (Royaume-Uni), qui souligne une baisse du sentiment d'appartenance et une augmentation du stress perçu chez les employés en flex office. En France, une enquête menée en 2022 par OpinionWay pour CD&B indique que 61 % des salariés en flex office regrettent de ne plus avoir de poste fixe, et 48 % disent que cela nuit à leur concentration.En résumé, le flex office est une forme d'organisation spatiale du travail pensée pour plus de souplesse, mais qui exige aussi autonomie, discipline et outils numériques adaptés. Il est souvent associé au télétravail et aux nouvelles méthodes de travail agiles, mais son impact dépend fortement de son mode de mise en œuvre et de l'accompagnement des équipes. Hébergé par Acast.

Hey hey Encourager!

Romans 1:11-12When was the last time you directly gave a word of encouragement to someone else? Form a new habit: think of a way to encourage one person every day. It will change your life.

Lorsqu'on parle à un bébé, on adopte souvent, sans même y penser, une voix douce, chantante, au ton exagéré. Ce type de langage, que les linguistes appellent « parler bébé » ou « motherese » (ou encore infant-directed speech en anglais), est bien loin d'être idiot ou inutile. En réalité, il s'agit d'un outil d'apprentissage sophistiqué que la nature a probablement sélectionné pour favoriser le développement du langage chez l'humain.Une réponse instinctive… et universelleDès les années 1980, des études menées aux États-Unis et au Japon ont montré que ce comportement est universel : quelle que soit la culture, les adultes (et même les enfants plus âgés) parlent aux bébés avec des intonations plus marquées, un débit plus lent, une articulation exagérée et un vocabulaire simplifié. Cette modulation vocale est spontanée et souvent irrépressible.Pourquoi cette voix « niaisement attendrie » ?Ce style de communication remplit plusieurs fonctions essentielles :1. Captiver l'attention du bébé : les bébés sont naturellement plus attentifs aux sons aigus et aux variations de tonalité. Ce type de voix attire leur regard et les aide à se concentrer.2. Faciliter la reconnaissance des mots : en articulant plus lentement et en marquant les syllabes, on rend les sons plus lisibles. Cela aide les nourrissons à segmenter le flux sonore et à repérer les unités de langage.3. Renforcer l'attachement affectif : la tonalité douce et exagérée crée une interaction chaleureuse et sécurisante, essentielle au bon développement affectif du bébé.4. Encourager l'imitation : les bébés tentent souvent de reproduire ces sons, ce qui stimule la production vocale et prépare à la parole.Des preuves scientifiquesUne étude publiée en 2014 dans Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences a montré que les bébés exposés régulièrement à ce type de langage développent plus rapidement leur capacité à distinguer les sons de leur langue maternelle. Plus récemment, une étude de l'Université de Cambridge (2020) a observé que les bébés réagissent plus fortement aux expressions faciales et aux voix typiques du baby talk, ce qui favorise les échanges précoces.ConclusionCe que l'on prend souvent pour une attitude « niaise » est en fait une stratégie d'apprentissage naturelle et efficace, qui maximise l'attention, le lien affectif et la compréhension. En d'autres termes, parler comme un guimauve attendri à un bébé n'est pas idiot : c'est profondément intelligent. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

It's hard to believe (at the time of this recording) that it's April, and hopefully we all survived tax day and are able to get out and enjoy some of the beautiful Spring foliage that's popping up all over. On this Spring day, I've invited Lawrence Payne to join me as my guest. He is an award-winning copywriter, editor, voice actor and composer,  who has worked with some of the world's most progressive companies such as Yamaha Digital Musical Instruments, Yamaha Audio, Teac, Hitachi and Brother.  Many of them in his capacity as a senior copywriter at Intermart Advertising/Tokyo.  He's received awards for his creative work featured in prestigious national and regional competitions and he has a reputation for excellence in technical documentation and communications. Lawrence has over 32 years of professional experience covering subjects ranging from music, cultural history, philosophy, religion, robotics, telecom and travel.   Lawrence has contributed widely to consumer and trade publications, including the graphic-design journal How.  As a  knowledgeable musician and critic, he has written for Guitar Player magazine, served as associate editor at Music Connection magazine and studied with the Latin guitar virtuoso Jorge Strunz. He produces the YouTube channel Deep Space Theater, which features his own musical compositions. Among his recent literary efforts are the books of a Zen Buddhist abbot whose influence is spread throughout Asia to the Americas and Europe.   However, with all of the aforementioned projects, the one title that's missing from Lawrence Payne's accomplishments, is as LinkedIn's Chief Cheerleader and Encourager!
