Laureate Professor John Hattie reflects on the effect of COVID-19 on the education system examining what we should keep from what he calls the 'great experiment'. Speaking to Talking Teaching on the eve of his retirement from the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, John stresses the need to focus on the existing expertise we have in education and the need to upscale success.

Power Quote: “Success at anything will always come down to this: Focus & Effort , and we control both.” - Dwayne Johnson Personal Story and Lessons: John shares the story from early days in his career where he was thrust into the role of managing an entire AT&T store due to unforeseen circumstances. It was stressful and incredibly overwhelming. Takeaway - Never be afraid to jump into with both feet. Take a step back, take control and just focus on the next step. Closing Takeaway: Always have a plan to execute on. Plan your day, plan your week. Boil your plan to the steps you need to take and plan your day down to the hour.

The last time I talked to John Gray — author of the most well-known and trusted relationship book of all time, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus — we had an incredible conversation about his spiritual journey... before we turned on the microphone! So, when I had a chance to sit down with John at the Health Optimisation Summit, I wasn’t going to miss my second opportunity to record some of these stories.  From partying at Woodstock, to hanging out with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, to participating in an energy healing practice that saved someone from a fresh cobra bite, we explore the twists and turns of John’s spiritual journey and how it has influenced his work on sex and relationships. And there’s a lot more overlap there than you might think. Because, whether you’re seeking to nurture your personal relationship or do the inner work to foster the relationship with yourself, your goal is ultimately the same: transformation, peace, and fulfillment. This is a peek into the life of a man who has helped thousands of people radically transform their lives, and it offers a lot of insight into how anyone can apply these spiritual principles and universal truths in really practical ways.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: How The Beatles deeply influenced John’s journey, including the meditation practice that he teaches today The high stakes of following your inspiration and genius Most of your suffering comes from too much attention — but John knows how we can stop internalizing all of that negative energy and bring in fresh energy Why most people avoid opportunities, consciously or subconsciously Lessons John learned as the assistant to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Witnessing the seemingly unexplainable People who do exceptional things aren’t born that way — anyone can develop exceptional abilities with practice How you can channel energy into and out of your body (and when you might want to) A mantra that will help you start noticing the gap between your thoughts and your self Everyone has access to all of the masculine and feminine qualities Spiritual practices for grounding yourself in the feminine or the masculine What everyone needs to know about intention and attachment If you’re angry, you’re not being masculine How masculine individuals can better communicate with feminine individuals & vice versa Some good ol’ fashioned biohacking: the one supplement that everyone can benefit from but barely anyone talks about & the enzymatic shake will fuel your brain How better brain health leads to more enjoyable sex + other tips men can use to increase pleasure for themselves and their partners   More about this episode.

Lessons: John 8:12-16, 31-32; John 18:37-38a: Jesus says if we follow him, we will know the truth and it will set us free. The truth that is the core of our faith is that Jesus Christ is God’s self-defining Word. Our tradition also insists on “the sovereignty of God,” which means God can do whatever God wants to do. If God wants to speak to people through nature, God can do it. If God wants to speak through art or philosophy or other religions, God can do that, too, simply because God is God, and God’s freedom. So that means we can follow Jesus wholeheartedly, have faith in him as somehow the truth, and still accept that we don’t corner the market on all of God’s truth. The truth that we meet in Jesus Christ is that God is love, and calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves. One way we fulfill this 4th great end of the church, then, is by resisting our "post truth" culture.

Pastor George Bowen | May 5, 2019

John Cutler describes himself as a Product Development Nut. He’s deeply focused on Product Development with a Lean /Agile approach and finding ways to improve how we work. He posts his thoughts in Medium, and although he says he is not a professional blogger, he generates new content about twice a week. I really enjoy reading his posts because they always challenge me and push me into seeing things through a different perspective. A few weeks ago John posted an article called “Flow, Decoupling Cadences and Fixed Sprint Lengths” (https://hackernoon.com/flow-decoupling-cadences-and-fixed-length-sprints-3eac1428ad73) in which he challenged the idea of Sprint time boxes. (There is a video version (https://vimeo.com/248376811) if you’d rather watch that ). The article was thought provoking and left me with a number of questions.

The gospel record reports that the miraculous signs, wonders, and healings that Jesus performed astonished people. They still astonish us. The purpose of these miraculous signs and wonders was to give witness to the astonishing truth that Jesus is God in human flesh who came to teach us that God does not keep a religious score card on us.   Lessons: John 14:7-14, Colossians 2:13-15,  Matthew 17:24-27

John Seed is an art writer, art and art history professor, and an artist in his own right. In our conversation we discuss his formative experience learning under Nathan Oliveira, his time working in galleries, what it was like hanging paintings by renowned artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Eric Fischl, and so much more. It was an honor to speak with such a gracious and talented artist and writer, I know you will have a great time learning about his progression from art teacher to art writer as well as all the great insights and lessons he has to share from his years in the art world. From Art Teacher to Art Writer It’s been said that every step we take in life is one of arrival. To hear John Seed explain how he found his way from being captivated with art at a young age, to working in art galleries, then teaching art and finally to writing about the subject is an engrossing story. Though each step along the way you really get the sense that John was meant to tell the story of artists because of his deep respect and genuine fascination with the creative process. If you are anything like me, spending time with John’s story will help fan the flames of creativity and passion for the art that you were meant to create. John’s First Assignment as an Art Writer Have you ever had on of those moments where it seems that the stars aligned to set you on a particular course? When I heard John Seed describe his first assignment as an art writer it seemed like a date with destiny type of encounter. John shares how he found a painting at a thrift store that grabbed his attention, he purchased the painting and proceeded to sell it on Ebay for a modest profit. It turns out that the buyer on Ebay was a private art dealer - John and this individual struck up a friendship. Soon after, this art dealer paid John $1000 to write an article about a well known artist in Hawaii who committed suicide at a young age. Over the course of the next year, John wrote an in depth article that ended up winning the Society of Professional Journalists Award for the best art article published in Hawaii that year. Leaving a Legacy as an Art Writer We all want to leave some sort of mark on the world. Most of us want the world to have been a better place because of the art we’ve created and the way we’ve treated others. Each one of us has to find that unique legacy that we want to leave behind. John Seed’s legacy rests primarily but not exclusively in his work as an art writer and an art teacher. He relishes in the fact that he has been able to have an impact on his art students in a similar manner that teachers like Nathan Oliveira had on him as a young student. But when John thinks of his legacy, he goes to his writing. He wants his impact to revolve around the public understanding and appreciating representational painters and other artists he knows who aren’t getting the type of exposure to the general public that he’d like to see. Tips for Artists who want to tell their story Many artists love to express their personal story through their artwork. As beautiful and symbolic as that expression can be, more and more artists are seeking to share their personal story through the written word. Art writer John Seed wants to help artists express themselves through the exercise of writing their story. John suggests that artists start by sharing their story on their websites. This can be done in big ways and in subtle ways depending on the comfort level of the artist. John also encourages artists to spend time with other artists and interview them to hear other artists tell their stories in their own words.

The Jews understood that God dwelt in the temple in Jerusalem that was the epicenter and focus of the Jewish religion. It is likely that what got Jesus killed more than anything else was his perceived challenge of the temple and the cult surrounding it. Jesus promoted a new sanctuary where we intimately experience God; the physical body of Jesus rising from the dead, the body of Christ which is the Church, and the hearts of Christ-followers where God, the Holy Spirit, dwells.   We hope you will rest in the assurance that God lives in you and therefore you are holy.   Lessons: John 2:13-22, Ephesians 2:14-22, Mark 11:15-18
