Episode 112: Alan Lazaros & The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success by Darren Hardy ABOUT ALAN At age 2, Alan's father passed away in a car accident. At age 26, after getting into a nearly fatal car accident himself, Alan questioned everything he was doing in life. He questioned who he was and the choices he was making. He was at an all-time low. Filled with regret, Alan searched for answers and found two of the brightest lights he had ever seen. The first bright light was a book by Bronnie Ware entitled, “The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying,” and the second was a Ted Talk by Tony Robbins. Both of these resources helped Alan find his way and guided him to make the choice of going ALL IN on self-improvement to design a life of meaning and purpose. On this self-improvement journey, Alan learned he believed in a heart-driven but NO BS approach to inspiring, motivating, and educating others on what it REALLY takes to get to the Next Level. Today, he is proud to say it is his mission to help others design fulfilling lives, maximize their own unique potential, and build aligned businesses they love on their own terms. Alan has a powerful combination of technical expertise and business acumen specializing in Peak Performance, Productivity, Organizational Design, and Individual, Team, and Business Optimization. He lead a global team at NLU, has given hundreds of trainings all over the world, and has happily completed thousands of one-on-one coaching calls with clients. As he says, It would be his honor to help you get to the Next Level of your life, love, health, and wealth. I interviewed Alan's business partner and partner in crime Episode 103: Kevin Palmieri & Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS "If you don't have self-belief, those adversities that could end up being your advantage actually just end up being adversity."

Want to schedule a Power Hour with me? Here's the link to sign up through September:https://calendly.com/lesaedwards/power-hourA buzz word I'm hearing and seeing a lot these days is “Growth Mindset.” I even mentioned in a recent episode.  Full disclosure: While I have an idea of what a Growth Mindset is, I didn't really know until I did the research for this episode.  As I've said before, sometimes my topics come from what clients and prospective clients are asking me, sometimes from what I'm reading and hearing in the zeitgeist, and sometimes from my own knowledge gap.  Here's a definition of a Growth Mindset:  “The belief that a person's abilities can be improved through effort, learning, and persistence. It's about how a person approaches challenges, processes failures, and adapts and evolves as a result. People with a growth mindset believe that their skills and intelligence can be developed, and that they can continue to learn and become more intelligent. They tend to be more willing to engage in deliberate practice and continuous learning and are more likely to seek out new opportunities for learning and skill acquisition.” Stanford professor Carol Dweck first discussed the concept of growth mindset in her 2006 book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, which was based on her study of students' and children's attitudes towards failure. Some key elements of a growth mindset include: Intelligence can be developedPeople with a growth mindset believe that intelligence is not static but can be developed.  Embrace challengesPeople with a growth mindset are willing to take on challenges and persist in the face of setbacks.  See effort as a path to masteryPeople with a growth mindset understand that skill development requires effort and believe that their success depends on time and effort.  Learn from criticismPeople with a growth mindset are open to learning from criticism and input from others.  Find inspiration in the success of othersPeople with a growth mindset can find inspiration in the success of others.   On Sunbright Education's website, I found this comparison of a Growth Mindset vs. a Fixed Mindset: Believes that intelligence and talent can be improved VSBelieves that intelligence and talent are fixed The Growth Mindset leads to embracing flaws and mistakes as opportunities for growth, accepting setbacks as part of the learning process, and feeling empowered to reach goals.  The Fixed Mindset leads to hiding flaws and mistakes, feeling ashamed about “failures,” giving up easily, and being unmotivated to strive for, or achieve, goals.  Here are some keyword comparisons:  Developed IQ vs. Innate IQMotivation vs. ResistanceEffort vs. InertiaAcceptance vs. GuiltInspiration vs. ComparisonsFeedback vs. Criticism There has been a lot of neuroscientific research into Growth Mindset, with studies showing differences in brain chemistry, improved academic performance, reduced burnout, fewer psychological issues, and others. What we're really talking about here is neuroplasticity – which has been directly correlated to things like Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive disorders.  I'm pretty sure that most of my listeners have a Growth Mindset – after all, you're listening to this podcast to grow professionally, aren't you?  There may, however, be areas where you haven't developed your Growth Mindset as well as in other areas. Here are some tips for practicing some Growth Mindset self-talk: “This task is really hard because I'm still developing my problem-solving skills in this area” VS. “I'm finding this task hard because I'm stupid/I'm not naturally good at this sort of thing.” “I'm not a “math person” – yet! I just need to keep working at it!” VS. “I'm not a math person. I'd like to be, but it's just not one of my strengths.” “When I struggle with something, it means I'm learning.” VS. “When I struggle with something, it means I'm a failure.” “I didn't do great, but I don't have to get it perfect this time. I just need to grow my understanding step by step.” VS. “I didn't do great, but I tried my best. What's the point in trying again if I didn't get it perfect this time?”   Here's a mantra I say to myself whenever I'm tackling something new and difficult:“This is hard, and I can do hard things.” I have talked often on this podcast about Winning vs. Learning, rather than Winning vs. Losing. The only way you lose is if you stop trying.  How can we develop a Growth Mindset? Here are 10 strategies, according to the website futurelearn.com: #1 – Identify your own current mindset (awareness) #2 – Revisit areas in which you've already made improvements (self-efficacy) #3 – Review the success of others (self-efficacy) #4 – Seek feedback (openness) #5 – Harness the power of “yet” (weaknesses aren't fixed) #6 – Learn something new (get out of your comfort zone) #7 – Make mistakes (practice learning from them)  #8 – Be kind to yourself (self-talk) #9 – Look at examples (study others) #10 – Set realistic goals (challenge yourself, but don't set yourself up for failure)   I thought I would leave you with some Growth Mindset quotes I like: “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” Colin Powell “Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional.” Roger Crawford “Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance.” Samuel Johnson  Are you in the wrong job that chips away at you every day? The document and coaching programs offered by Exclusive Career Coaching will help you find a job that uses your zone of genius, recognizes your value, and pays you what you're worth.  If you're ready to take your job search to the next level by working with a highly experienced professional with a track record of client success, schedule a complimentary consult to learn more:  https://calendly.com/lesaedwards/zoom-meetings2

She is a firm believer in the power of knowledge sharing to foster growth and awareness within the CX community.  With over eight years of experience as a data-savvy experienced designer, research specialists, and strategic change-maker, Vaishali passionately advocates for the integration of emotions and efficiency through customer experience research, product insights and communication. She currently serves as a Senior CX Strategist at Konabos, a consulting firm specializing in digital transformation.   Her commitment to knowledge sharing is evident through her involvement in podcasts, blogs, guest lectures, speaking engagements, and training programs. Additionally, she conducts leadership training workshops for professionals with low literacy levels, making a positive impact through collaborative efforts across diverse spheres.    Questions · Now, we always like to start off by giving our guests an opportunity as I mentioned before to share a little bit about your journey from where you are were to where you are today. · Can you share with us just a little bit about your culture, how customer experience is. If you were to give it a score, maybe on a scale of one to 10 with 10 being the best, what score would you give it and just any insights that you think would be beneficial to our listeners. · What would you say have been as a leader in the different organizations that you've worked in, maybe one or two things that you believe has made or contributed to your success in driving CX design and CX delivery? ·How have employees across different industries adapted to the integration of technologies, specifically in artificial intelligence, like ChatGPT, to enhance customer service experiences? What future trends do you predict for technology's role in CX, and do you believe human interaction will remain vital in this space? · Can you also share with us what's the one online resource, tool, website or app that you absolutely cannot live without in your business? · Can you also share with our listeners, maybe one or two books that have had a great impact on you? It could be a book that you read a very long time ago, or even one that you've read recently, but it has had a great impact on you. · Can you also share with us what's one thing that's going on in your life right now that you are really excited about, either something you're working on to develop yourself or your people. · What would you say are maybe two or three emerging trends that you believe will continue? Or will emerge over the next couple of months? · Where can listeners find you online? · Now, we always like to ask our guests before we wrap our episodes up, do you have a quote or a saying that during times of adverted adversity or challenge, you'll tend to revert to this quote if for any reason you get the real or you get off track, a quote kind of helps to get you back on track.   Highlights  Vaishali's Journey Me: Now, we always like to start off by giving our guests an opportunity as I mentioned before to share a little bit about your journey from where you were to where you are today.   Vaishali shared that she started her career back in 2015, right after she graduated from Heriot-Watt University in Dubai, and just like any other graduate, she was like, “I don't know what I want to do with my life. I think I'll start with marketing.” Right quickly as she dived into marketing in the advertising world, it was chaotic, busy, a great learning curve, she learned what she liked. But most importantly, she learned what she didn't like. And that's where her analytical journey began from, she understood that it's important to know and work on your skills that you like. She paved her way to get her MBA done, and learn more about research and analytics, and then dived into a CRM officer where she picked up different aspects of what experience means, how you're helping small businesses grow, what is innovation and research, it's a very cool experience.  And then she moved back to Dubai where she joined her FinTech company as the head of customer engagement. Now, this was a whole new world for her while she already knew marketing and analytics, but now running campaigns and media was super interesting. And just like in any other startup, you have to wear many other hats was very interesting, because normally she would play so many different roles, she had different opportunities where you would design experiences for low income migrant workers in the UAE.  It was almost like her postgraduate degree or a PhD, she would say, at no money, where she learned a lot of things. And that's where her curiosity for CX began, when she was designing experiences and working with the ideal. One thing paved to another and then she dived into CX, and she's been in the industry for almost four to five years now.   Me: All right, that is a wonderful journey.   Vaishali's Views on Customer Experience in Her Culture  Me: Now, throughout your journey, Vaishali, could you share with our listeners, I know you mentioned the different industries that you've worked in, but seeing that you've been in the CX space for a while, and our show is about navigating the customer experience, maybe you could share with our listeners a little bit about what your views are on customer experience. And I know you are in a different part of the world. And I know culture and behaviour varies depending on where you are. Can you share with us just a little bit about your culture, how customer experience is. If you were to give it a score, maybe on a scale of one to 10 with 10 being the best, what score would you give it and just any insights that you think would be beneficial to our listeners.   Vaishali shared that for the listeners, she comes from the Middle East from they say the light of gold, which is Dubai, and it's very interesting because it feels like you're always served in a platter. So, over the last few years, she's been travelling a lot, and especially to the West and the East port. And she thinks there's major cultural shock that she almost have is why somebody not serving her enough. Being in Dubai hospitality is huge; services at its peak, people come for the luxury and lifestyle in Dubai. And so, she's never had even if she goes to a restaurant, if she's in Dubai, if she asks anyone to please can you pack this, I need a take away, they'd be like, “Yeah, sure madam”, and all of that. But when she comes to the West, they give her a box, and she's like, “Oh, so am I supposed to pack myself?” So many different experiences that are such culturally different, yet you're working on designing those right kind of experiences is very interesting. Being in the space that she worked across education, FinTech, healthcare, manufacturing, nonprofit organizations, and one thing that she finds, despite no matter where you are, in which part of the world across which culture you have been raised, is that we all are humans, and we all want to feel heard. And we want to all feel listened and feel the emotion that we're feeling whether it's with another person or a brand. So, despite many, many differences, being from the Middle East, one common thing is what kind of human experiences are we really designing?   Effective Leadership Strategies for Driving Customer Experience Design and Delivery Me: What would you say have been as a leader in the different organizations that you've worked in, maybe one or two things that you believe has made or contributed to your success in driving CX design and CX delivery?   Vaishali stated that's a difficult one. But she thinks something that's really helped her, and she truly believes in this is the power of love languages, and how you can mold that and use that in designing experiences, especially customer experiences, whether it is quality time and actually speaking to your customers, making them feel heard, and understanding where they come from, to just simple words of affirmations. And this can be digital affirmations, she's not saying everything has to be in person, it's more about how you make someone feel like, “oh, this person hears me and understands me.” Do simple acts of service you do for them digitally, again, reward them that make them feel loyal to you.  So, when it comes to leadership, every different project is so different from one another despite being in the CX space, because they are spread across different verticals, from governance, to analytics to design, she's had the experience of learning that we need to understand what kind of emotions we want to create, and then create those journeys. So, for her, that's been one of the key things is, drive and understand what emotion you want to create.   AI Integration in Customer Service; Employee Adaptation, Future Trends, and the Human Touch Me: Now, a big part of CX is technology, right? Technology is here to help us and support us in delivering a more seamless and a less friction kind of experience with customers. In your part of the world, how have you seen your employees across different industries and verticals, as you had mentioned, adapting to the technologies, specifically in the area of artificial intelligence, there is ChatGPT and different things that organizations may integrate to enhance the service experience with their customers and cut down the more route type of activities that are very mundane and monotonous, they're investing in a technology to kind of reduce. How have you seen the adoption of that take place? And if you were to be a fortune teller, if you were to look into the future, where do you see this going? And do you believe human interaction will still play a very integral role in CX?   Vaishali stated, wow, what a question. It's very interesting. So, to answer the first part of the question, which is adoption levels. She thinks adoption levels are at its peak right now. We have no option but to keep up because a lot of the CX experiences and designs that they choose to design for their customers is technology driven. You can have the best of the best designs on Figma or Canva, or Miro, but to really bring them to life, you need the right tools in place. And to be able to do that, you will be able to understand which technology or business is actually using at the moment, what kind of architecture do they have in their back end systems, and what is really possible.   And in the ever evolving space, also, she thinks, today, all kinds of businesses, especially in the tech industry, they are coming up with niche tools and technologies across diverse industries specific to different features that allow them to give the best of the best services to their end users. But most importantly, they are very open to saying we'll integrate with another tool, whether it is in the healthcare industry, and you're looking at billing and medical insurance, they're creating their own tools to integrating with personalization tools to understanding when a patient needs to have their next checkup and reminding the patient about it to actually having analytical tool. There's so much that is happening in today's space and the adoption is at its absolute peak to keep up with the industry at the moment. That's the first part of the question.   And then the second part of the question is, there's so much that you can do with today's technology, no matter what you do human intervention can never be impacted directly she feels, they will always coexist in her space, she doesn't think it's going to be one or the other and completely replaceable. They will always need human beings because human beings evolve. And technology is made by humans.   Me: Very true. Alright. I love that.   App, Website or Tool that Vaishali Absolutely Can't Live Without in Her Business When asked about an online resource that she cannot live without in her business, Vaishali shared that she's a very tech person, she loves using her app, she has apps for almost everything. But at work, she uses a lot of Canva; she's creative as a person. So, whether it's the whiteboard or whether it's just designing something that she needs to just throw it out. She loves using Canva.   Me: Amazing. I like when I hear guests talk about using Canva. Recently, I did a presentation skills workshop for a client and they wanted to basically teach the team how to use Canva. And I remember, it was so fascinating, especially for persons who have never been exposed to the platform before, when they looked at the user interface of Canva versus a Microsoft PowerPoint, Canva is just like, it's like the Apple of design. Like in terms of how easy it is, you just drag and drop it, in PowerPoint, you take three steps, in Canva, you take one. And I just I find it so amazing, it really has brought design to the average person; even if you weren't creative Canva would find some way to stimulate your creativity.   Vaishali agreed, and more than anything, even like the guided templates too, they have everything, you can just create a design system in place to be able to do anything with it. Previously, developers used to use draw.io a lot to create the map and the technology flows. And like, guys no, we need to use Canva make it more colourful. And it's so easy to use.   Books that Have Had the Biggest Impact on Vaishali When asked about books that have had a great impact. Vaishali shared that she just finished two books recently, but they are more spiritual, but she thinks one of the books that she's still continuing to read, and she's amazed by it is Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck. That the book is taking her longer to complete in all honesty is because you really need to retrospect and think, is this the way I think.  And it's just the way she would want to think like from growth mindset or fixed mindset and how our childhood, the way we just appreciate it really impacts on the way we work and our personality, or our character. So, there's a lot of retrospective to do. And she thinks she'll have to read the book 2, 3 times. But for now, this has been the biggest impact on the way she's started evolving and thinking, so she'd highly recommend this book.   What Vaishali is Really Excited About Now! When asked about something she's excited about, Vaishali stated that she'll give two things. So, the first one is she's very excited because she's travelling on a personal level. She's travelling to Vancouver tonight to for her brother's graduation. And it's been a journey for their family. So, they're very, very excited for his graduation.  And professionally, what she's very excited about is at the moment, she's working on three different projects across manufacturing, healthcare, and education. And the best part about all of it is, is that all of them are across different verticals of CX, and that really shows the power of a) customer experience, but b) also how vast our growing industry is. And we all have some stuff to do and make an impact across different verticals of CX, so she feels super blessed.   Me: Alright, well, congratulations to you, brother and his graduation. That's awesome.   Emerging Trends Shaping the Near Future   Me: Now, can you tell our listeners, if you were to just think about maybe two or three trends that you believe will continue to grow and emerge as we wrap up on the second and embark on the third quarter of 2024, what would you say those are just based on working with clients, in your own business, listening to podcasts, being on podcasts, writing blogs, interfacing with other CX experts across different industries. What would you say are maybe two or three emerging trends that you believe will continue? Or will emerge over the next couple of months?   Vaishali stated, great question. And we all have been talking about this, start of the year, we were like, what's 2024 going to hold for CX and is AI going to replace but she thinks now conversations have shifted, and everyone agrees, and a lot of the conversations she's hearing about is, we are going to coexist together. So, that trend is kind of going to continue and only emerge, people are not going to lose their jobs because of AI, but they're just going to be supported better and to design better experience. So, that's definitely one.  The second one is what she sees as a shift, based on discussing with clients and having these daily one on one conversations, being the centre front of the industry is that there's a grey area that was first there was digital experience and customer experience, but she sees that becoming a grey area now to becoming actually digital customer experience, and people finding out and learning more about it. And that's a very interesting space, because it makes room for everyone to grow together and learn and share experiences, which she thinks is phenomenal. So, there are no more silos within even the experience design space anymore. And the third one she would say is, she sees extremely authenticating orthodox industries, especially such as manufacturing, or education, which had a certain way of doing certain things digitally, are now ready to evolve and embark on a transformation journey. Because they think it's extremely important to kind of keep up to the industry and the world and the customer needs. And those are massive projects that they're working on internally. So, she thinks it's very, very interesting to see that shift in the industry right now.    Me: Alright, exciting times ahead.   Where Can We Find Vaishali Online LinkedIn – Vaishali Dialani X – Vaishali Dialani    Quote or Saying that During Times of Adversity Vaishali Uses Me: Now, we always like to ask our guests before we wrap our episodes up, do you have a quote or a saying that during times of adverted adversity or challenge, you'll tend to revert to this quote if for any reason you get the real or you get off track, a quote kind of helps to get you back on track.   When asked about a quote or saying that she tends to revert, Vaishali shared that she does. And it's one of her favourite quotes that she's actually tattooed and it's called, “Fly with full faith.” So, it's always do your hard work and have faith in whatever you do. Because most of the times, it feels like we're doing so much and we still not able to get to the next place, we're stuck in a circle or a rod. And it's important to have faith and while you have faith, always, always do your hard work.   Me: All right, thank you so very much. So, Vaishali, I just wanted to extend our deepest gratitude to you again, for taking time out of your busy schedule, and hopping on this podcast with us and sharing all these great insights, especially as it relates to your culture and what's happening over there. Because the world is very small, even though we are in different continents or different places, human behaviour is still pretty much the same I believe throughout, we are through and through emotional beings. And I liked the fact that that came out in your message in terms of what we should be focused on in CX and ensuring that we're connecting with people on an emotional level, and what kind of feelings do we want them to have after they've interacted with us. So, I thought it was great that you brought that across in a message.

How are you keeping ego at bay and focusing on fearing God?In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Mike discuss: Building a company by failing your way to success. Leaning into your area of expertise. Leveraging the energy of forward momentum, no matter how small. The important aspects to consider in your exit (especially for those in a family business).   Key Takeaways: Building a relationship with Christ is not about your ego….ego is just Edging God Out of your life.Slow down and be intentional about your quiet time with God, your prayer, your scripture study, and your mentorship of others and for yourself. If you want to sell or exit your business in the future, you have to delegate yourself out of the business. Consider joining a peer group for accountability in accomplishing your goals. Peers can be your most powerful tool.   "Be intentional about a balanced life.

You can't be high character and low competence, or vice versa.” “The times where I've been obstinate, and stuck my heels in, doesn't work so well for my relationship.” “You can literally coach somebody on a text. You can say, somebody texts your problem. And you can say, ‘Hey, what are your thoughts on how to resolve that?'” “If you want to have a good relationship at home, you have to constantly be getting better. You have to constantly learn and grow as human beings.” “Leadership is also about managing your team and really understanding how to develop your people and create that high performance on your team.” “I've noticed people that when you look at their lives, you think that's a great person.

Welcome to Game Changers with Jeff Newkirk, where we speak with people who have done something to make this world a better place. It's simple: inspire, educate, and let's go change this world! On today's episode, Jeff discusses goal setting, tracking goals, and the four A's to achieve those goals. He recommends having an accountability partner, someone who will redirect and help us stay focused on those goals. Accountability partners need to ask where you are falling short and why. This should be someone in your inner circle, someone that you know, like, and trust. This person needs to be someone you can go to about anything and tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Life happens and we can fall short, but we need people in our lives to redirect, encourage, and challenge us to meet the goals that we set.  Next, Jeff talks about the four A's which include: Appreciate, Attack, Add Value, and Achieve. The first one is Appreciate, which is reminding ourselves of what's important. If we have food to eat, a roof over our heads, a shirt on our back, and a job to pay bills, then we are ahead of the game. Sometimes we lose perspective, but it all goes back to that positive mental mindset. Jeff recommends reading the book, "The Energy Bus" by Jon Gordon. We need to lead from the heart and our thought process should be to serve and help others. It is hard to go wrong when we lead that way. To keep a grateful heart and stay positive, he suggests writing in a gratitude journal or using the Grateful app. He writes down three things a day that is thankful for to document and remind you of what you have.  The second A is "Attack," which is having the mindset to attack the day or it will attack you back. You need to be ready to go with the flow and be prepared because things will happen. No matter what happens, we need to keep moving forward. He recommends the book, "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success" by Carol Dweck. We need to have a growth mindset– not a limiting one. We need to remove words like "try" or "can't" from our vocabulary because these will limit us. Who knows where the world will take you if you have a growth mindset? Jeff recently talked to his son, who is a coach, about changing his team's mindset from one that thought they were failures and losers to a team that thinks they will win and achieve. They believed in themselves and were told that to succeed.  In addition, the third A is "Add Value," which is adding value in every situation and to every person. Jeff references John Maxwell's book called, "The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth" and the law of contribution, which is putting others first. When you lead, you lead because you are serving others. You are not a leader if you expect others to serve you. You need to provide examples and serve others with humility. He also states that we are in control of our own decisions and lives. He talks about the movie Rocky Balboa and how the son is complaining about where he is at in life because of other people. Jeff says not to let others dictate how far you go in life– you only have yourself to blame. Change your environment and start making the world a better place. Learn more about Jeff Newkirk.

In Carol Dweck's popular book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success she explains a theory that became popular in the classroom. Students with a growth mindset believe their skills and understanding can be improved with study and practice. They are engaged in the teaching and learning process. How about us? Do we have a growth mindset when it comes to our Christian walk? Remaining open to input and instruction should be our approach to all areas of life, including the spiritual. In 2 Peter 1, Peter assured his audience that God had given them everything they need to pursue spiritual growth and maturity (v. 3). He describes the goal of discipleship as godliness (“good worship”), intimacy with God, and freedom from evil desires (v. 4). Then Peter lays out a pattern to attain growth, which begins with a basic faith in Jesus Christ. While salvation is essential, it is only the starting place. Peter explains the process, “Add to your faith goodness” (v. 6), virtue, or high moral standards. True faith affects how we live. To goodness, we are to add “knowledge” or the ability to discern truth. These believers were to weigh all new knowledge against the Scripture. After knowledge, Peter calls them to “self-control” (the discipline to resist temptation) and “perseverance” (the strength to withstand trials). The very top of this progression is love (v. 7). Philadelphia (“brotherly kindness”) and agape (“love”). The process unfolds like a flower—petal by petal—until the full revelation of love at the end. In verse 8, Peter urges us to teachability. While believers already “possess these qualities” in some measure, loving God with our mind means that we keep growing and focus on the eternal reward (v. 11).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a HeightsCast episode released a few months ago, headmaster Alvaro de Vicente offered guidance for parents on how to understand, interpret, and respond to their sons' grades, while also nurturing strong and lasting bonds. This week, we welcome Tom Steenson to HeightsCast to discuss grading from the teacher's perspective. In this week's episode, Tom offers practical advice to teachers, framing grades as a means to helping students learn. He considers how to approach grading students whether they are relatively strong in a particular subject or struggling through a class. Approaching grading more as an art than a strict science, Mr. Steenson encourages teachers to remain realistic without crushing a student and to challenge students to think beyond the grade, helping them find a real joy in learning.  Chapters  2:10 Introduction: Grading from a teacher's perspective 3:00 How should teacher's think about grades? 5:05 Practical advice for how to deal with a strong student with respect to his grades?  7:45 Should you grade different students differently? 10:53 How to deal with the kids who are hyper focused on the grade? The grade-monger… 14:20 Online gradebooks?  16:20 Practical advice for students struggling with grades 20:00 How to grade fairly and honestly, without crushing the student?  21:45 Advice for the art of grading  28:10 Closing thoughts  Mentioned in the episode Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol S.

Sports is not just about the final score. It's an opportunity for kids to grow, to learn how to improve their skills, and to be a good teammate. But athletics today can be incredibly competitive, aggressive, and emotionally intense. Dr. Lisa offers strategies for when kids lose their cool when things don't go their way and explains how to help kids manage their reactions when they make mistakes. Reena asks about how far you should push a kid who wants to quit a sport they're good at and if we should encourage kids to stick with sports that don't come naturally.

Doing, doing, doing. We can get stuck in a perpetual state of busyness to get things done. But being in a chronic “performance zone” can lead to stagnation over time. The “learning zone”, however, is when we take a step back to reflect on our experiences and look for ways to improve. That's where a growth mindset comes in - actually believing that we can get better. “In order to engage in learning, we need to believe that we can improve, we also need to understand how to improve and we need to have a reason or reason that we care to put in the effort to improve.” ~ Eduardo Briceño, Episode 374 Eduardo Briceño is a global keynote speaker, facilitator, and author who guides many of the world's leading companies in developing cultures of learning and high performance. His TED Talks have been viewed over 9 million times. Alongside Carol Dweck, the leading growth mindset researcher, Eduardo has founded Mindset Works, an organization dedicated to fostering lifelong learning.  On this episode of Behavioral Grooves, hosts Kurt and Tim talk to Eduardo about his new book “The Performance Paradox: Turning the Power of Mindset into Action” which is a practical guide on how to spend more of your time in the learning zone, instead of just the performance zone. Eduardo provides tips for leaders to create a culture of learning, such as framing core values, identifying habits and systems to support both performance and learning, and modeling learning behaviors visibly. To Tim's delight, the conversation with Eduardo uses musical examples from Beyoncé and Dave Grohl to highlight the importance of practice and reflection. Overall, the discussion provides insights on overcoming barriers to a learning mindset and finding a balance between performance and growth in the workplace.   Topics  (4:09) Welcome and speed round questions. (7:16) If we focus only on performance, our performance suffers.  (10:19) How to tell if you're in the learning zone or performance zone. (20:14) How can leaders create a learning culture in the workplace? (24:04) The performance zone isn't necessarily a bad place to be. (25:44) What can Beyoncé teach us about the learning zone? (27:07) How can we get better at reflecting on our own performance? (31:02) Overcoming resistance to learning at work. (33:49) What we can learn from Dave Grohl's pandemic drum battle. (38:07) Be deliberate about improvement, not just working harder. (41:47) What musical artists would  Eduardo Briceño take to a desert island?
