Many of you have been working hard to reconnect with students since the pandemic subsided. A recent student survey suggests a few areas that need special attention as we return to school this term. What are the factors affecting student teacher trust and how do we maintain and restore the trust needed to teach in our post-pandemic classrooms?

Sometimes you read a book and get a flash of insight - that “ah ha!” moment - about yourself and the ways you interact with others. That happened to me when reading “Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World.” It helped me to understand and justify my interest in (this won't surprise you) EVERYTHING related to geriatrics or palliative care. Also hat tip to Matthew Growdon for recommending the book. Today we talk with Bob Arnold, who has a long list of recommendations for books that have the potential to generate an “ah ha!” moment. The podcast is ostensibly focused on becoming a better mentor, but as you'll hear, we discuss techniques that can help you cope with anxiety, stress, your spouse…the list goes on. In reality, insights from these books can help you be a better teacher, a more curious person, as well as a better mentor or mentee. Bob urges you to buy these books from your local bookstore. To that end, we're not including links with the titles below. Please shop locally. As a bonus, Lauren Hunt, frequent guest on GeriPal, heard we recorded this podcast and wanted to add a couple books to Bob's list (she saw Bob give a talk about these books at the NPCRC Foley retreat). Her list will strongly resonate with women in academics. See below for Lauren's two additions to Bob's list, with her personal commentary.

I had heard of course heard of imposter syndrome in the past but I didn't make the connection to myself until I read this article and saw my thoughts printed on the page. You would think that after several years of a number of career successes, the imposter syndrome would have abated for me, but rather I found it getting worse! I thought that I should know more of what I was doing by this point in my career, but instead I often felt like I had no idea what I was doing! So I came across this book and found it very helpful. Young defines people who have imposter syndrome as those who have a “persistent belief in their lack of intelligence, skills, or competence. They are convinced that other people's praise and recognition of their accomplishments is undeserved, chalking up their achievements to chance, charm, connections, and external factors. Unable to internalize or feel deserving of their success, they continually doubt their ability to repeat past successes.” I certainly related to the point that instead of successes alleviating feelings of fraudulence, the opposite happens, because it increases pressures to uphold one's reputation. The pressures can be intense, leaving one wondering if it's all worth it, and prompting fantasies of leaving the charade behind. One thing I really liked about this book is that it places the imposter syndrome into the context of a patriarchal, misogynistic, racist society and organizations that create cultures that cultivate self-doubt (ahem academia). Imposter syndrome is a rationale response to a crazy world. We exist in a society and culture that actually judges women to be less competent at work (the studies she details are SUPER disturbing). It is not surprising we would internalize these norms. Also that being underrepresented in a field creates pressures not only to represent just oneself, but an entire gender. She focuses on women, but these concepts obviously apply to people of color and other disadvantaged social groups. And of course men can have imposter syndrome too. Another part I liked about the book is digging into the notion that one's success is due to luck, or being in the right place at the right time. She dispels these notions by pointing out that, first of all, luck is always present, even for people who are enormously talented and second, being the right place at the right time, having the right connections, and having a winning personality can sometimes actually be the result of skills or abilities, often the result of hard-work, hustling, and efforts to develop one's socioemotional capacity. This is a self-help book, so throughout she offers some useful rules and self-talk for responding to imposter syndrome thoughts. She details different ways to respond to thoughts based on your competence type. For example, if you are a perfectionist, she recommends reframing to a “good enough” quality standard—a mantra I adopted from colleague during the pandemic and has been incredibly helpful for me over the past few years. For the rugged individualist who equate true competence equals solo, unaided achievement, the reframe is “competence means knowing how to identify the resources needed to get the job done.” Another really important idea she raises is that women often have difficult choices to make about their career and its impact on other parts of their families and their other social networks that aren't as pronounced for men in our society. Sometimes it is difficult to disentangle these questions from feelings of imposter syndrome. For example, is reluctance to take on more responsibility at work or relocate because you feel inadequate or is it because of genuine concern about the impact on your family? Moreover, women (generalizing here) tend to place lower value on traditional measures of work success (e.g. money, power, influence) and greater value on connection and meaning. It can require a lot of soul searching to figure out whether one is avoiding career “success” out of fear or that certain paths are just truly not aligned with our values. Finally, towards the end of the book, she introduces the idea of “faking it till you make it” and having chutzpah—i.e going for it. Of course, she's not advocating for a George Santos approach (no lying) but just having a little bit more of a mindset that you'll figure it out once you're on the job. I'd definitely recommend this book if you've ever struggled with similar feelings or mentor people who might. She's got a breezy and relatable writing style that's easy to read, lots of great real-world stories, and piquant quotes. The No Club: Putting a Stop to Women's Dead-End Work by Linda Babcock, Brenda Peyser, Lise Vesterlund, and Laurie Weingart Summary of the book's premise: Work activities fall on a spectrum from promotable and non-promotable (NPT). Promotable activities are those that advance one's career. They use the word “advance” quite broadly to encompass various outcomes, like earning a promotion, getting plum assignments, increasing compensation, and enhancing marketability for other jobs. Promotable tasks are visible to others and increase the organization's currency. Some tasks may be indirectly promotable—they help you develop skills that have the potential to enhance your future success or access to future promotable work. NPT's are important to your organization but will not help to advance your career. These tasks have low visibility (think committees and other service). Too many NPT's can lead to work/work imbalance where promotable tasks get pushed to the side and advancement slows, or work-life imbalance, where advancement continues but at the expense of time in one's personal life (or both). Although not exclusively a problem for women, women are more likely to take on NPT's at work. This is because they are both asked more often and are more likely to say yes when asked. They propose both bottom-up (women saying no to more things) and top-down solutions (organizations making efforts to divide up NPT's more fairly and ensuring everyone is pitching in). Before I read this book, I didn't fully grasp the idea that an activity would be helpful to the organization but not to my own career. Sometimes requests for participation in these activities come with a veneer or prestige and lots of feel-good gratitude. I personally feel a lot of guilt and worry about disappointing people when I say no to things. Even declining to review an article for a journal is accompanied by some stomach knots (it's so hard to find reviewers!) I also place a lot of value in collaboration and working in teams, and the idea of working in a culture where everyone is only looking out for themselves is not appealing to me. But I'm also worried at the level of overwhelm I experience at times and perhaps some of you have experienced as well. How do we ensure that we are on sustainable path where we can stay in and build the world we want to live and work in? The book also got me thinking about what is promotable or not in academia, i.e. what is the currency. I think we all know that grants and publications are promotable activities, but even within that there are hierarchies. Some of these hierarchies I think I understand: a data-based paper in a high-impact journal has higher promotability than an editorial in a lower-impact journal. Some of them I'm not sure about: is an NIH project grant more promotable than a foundation grant and if so why (bc higher indirects?) Also, things like mentorship seem gray to me: senior-authored articles are evidence of independence and potential track to mentoring awards, but people often seem to place mentorship in the NPT category. I think having more transparency and discussion about what is promotable or not would be very useful. Highly recommend this book for women, men, people in leadership, and employees. It's extremely well-written, nuanced, and eye-opening.

My conversation on Habits, routines and norms with Deputy Headteacher Scott Fletcher Never assume when it comes to behaviour Behaviour, behaviour, behaviour. It is on everyone's lips. When things are good, behaviour is celebrated. When things are bad, behaviour is the cause. We must ensure that there is clarity, clear communication and consistency before implementation. Once it leaves the ‘training ground' (this is how I refer to our CPD sessions) each and every member of staff must know everything about everything. All questions must have been answered, solutions found and most importantly whatever system is put into place must be sustainable at the hardest of times. We wanted to find a way where the system relies less on people and more on cultural behaviours. Cultural norms – they happen because this is what we do here. What do we want to achieve through the implementation of a systematic behaviour policy with a focus on cultural norms? To have the highest expectations of student behaviour in order to maximise opportunities to strive for success. To ensure all students develop the good learning habits that they need to be successful in school and life. To realise and celebrate the potential of all students through promoting our core values of: show you care, succeed together, be yourself always and do what matters most. To create an environment in which students are supported to become self-disciplined, hardworking and able to accept responsibility for their own actions. To form an active three-way partnership with families and students to encourage excellent behaviour and to establish improved patterns of behaviour where there are difficulties. These aims are supported by regular staff CPD focusing on: core routines and developing appropriate strategies for managing behaviour; bespoke teaching and learning strategies and how to ensure the highest quality provision for all students including those with special educational needs and disabilities. When you introduce new material in your lesson, we would avoid saying “Off you go, learn.” With behaviour, we cannot just say: “Off you go, behave. This is what I expect and this is what I want to see.” We must teach it. We must break each component down, start with the why and deliver behaviours as concepts in granular steps. So how have we decided to do this? It is important to know what you want to focus on. After reading Doug Lemov's Practice `Perfect, we came up with ten cultural bright spots. We will consistently apply these with the highest of expectations and utilise CPD time to ensure the implementation is the best it can be, all day, everyday. Bright spots are what we will hang our hat on to say “These are outstanding elements of our day to day routines and behaviours.”

📍 IntroductionBroccoli is a great vegetable to practice with because it’s hearty, nutritious, and good value. When blanched, it is tender and flavorful with just the right amount of crunch. This makes it an excellent addition to salads, stir-fries, omelets, and more! 🧂 Unique Ingredients & Equipment:Broccoli✔️ Instructions:Gently wash the broccoli; remove brown/yellow spots if necessaryBoil & season waterAdd broccoli & cook for ~2-3 min Prepare an ice bathRemove when bright green or tender for piercingShock the broc (aka place in the ice bath)Drain. Serve, eat, or store! 📝 Notes, Tips, TricksDo not discard the stems! They have more flavor than the florets and are highly nutritious. If they have thick skins, use a vegetable peeler on them. Blanched broccoli can last about a week in the fridge. Butchering in advance will help promote more even cooking but is not necessary and can be messy. For a more advanced blanch, start cooking the stems 1-2 min before the florets. If your broccoli is wilted, slice off the bottom and soak in some cool water. It will plump up in about an hour. Sample toppings include butter, lemon, olive oil, vinaigrette, toasted nuts, cheese, pesto, chimichurri, etc. Get creative!🎓 Further Studies: How to Blanch and Freeze BroccoliNext Lesson: 12: Practice - Perfect, Peelable, Medium-Boiled Eggs Get full access to Life School at www.trylifeschool.com/subscribe

Stefan Baumann Podcast - Inspiration and Insights on Art and Painting

Through his work, viewers enjoy the opportunity to see spectacular places in America that are too remote and inaccessible for most to visit themselves. Baumann’s painting style has been classified by art collectors and galleries as “Romantic Realism with Luminism.” Pioneers of this beautiful genre of landscape painting include Frederic Church, Thomas Cole, and Albert Bierstadt of the Hudson River School. They were East Coast artists who journeyed to the Western United States to sketch and paint amazing views of the American wilderness, and then they returned to their home studios to paint stunning detailed versions of these vistas on room-sized canvases. Similarily, Stefan Baumann reveals the true spirit of nature by transporting the viewer to distant lands that have gone unseen and undisturbed on his canvases. Baumann’s passion for painting is fueled by his fascination with and close observation of nature’s sublime beauty and mood. Baumann’s paintings speak for themselves ~ elegant and mysterious, exciting and bold, every landscape and wildlife painting captures a feeling, a sense of place, and the magic of light.
Start thinking about where you're going to play, what can you be the best at? Answer these questions. What can you be the best at? What can your practice do better than all of your competitors? And importantly on the back of that, is that something that the market wants? Because you can be really great at shining toenails, but if nobody wants to buy toenail shining, it's irrelevant. Okay? So think about that. What is it that you can be the best at? What can your practice be the best that that your clients actually want, need, and deserve to get from you?
Learn how to treat your customers so you can grow your business in the best way possible.
You have to think about PR as a funnel, right? Initially, you want to make sure that, a, your name is getting out there as much as possible in the right way and so you start off with a really big opening of the funnel, but then over time you can distill that down into what your particular area of expertise is.

If you as a physician don't know how to bring that conversation down to the level of the purchaser, you are doing yourself a disservice. This is where the influencer marketing comes in because it really is in their words. It's their understanding. They're using the same vernacular, the same language. The reviewer or the influencer was going to be another mother of two that's got to go to soccer practice and she just happens to have a YouTube channel and she's going to talk to that mother in a way that you will not be able to. It will be absolutely impossible for you to connect on the same level.
This is where you can start thinking about the strategy of your practice. When I say strategically is you need to look at your practice and how it's going to impact it and what stage it's at. If you need to take the beach versus take the stronghold tactically and strategically in order to win the war, you have to look at it. So what stage of this battle are you in? What part of the war are you engaged in that you need to move forward?
On today's episode, we're going to discuss probably the number one thing that leads to success or failure in a practice, and that is the ability to follow up with your leads. Any monkey can start generating you leads online. The quality of a lead varies. We're going to get into that a little bit. But today, we're going to really dive deep into what makes that work.
I want you to get a handle on your mindset and your limiting beliefs. So this podcast is going to be all about the way that you think, all about the way that you are holding yourself back, and ultimately it's going to be about accountability. I want to keep you accountable. I've seen too many doctors fall into the victim mentality where they'll start blaming everyone from their staff, to the marketing companies, to the economy, anything they can think of just to avoid taking responsibility for the fact that they are in charge of their own practice, they are the masters of their own destiny, and I want you to get that you are in charge of your future and it's your responsibility to move yourself forward.
You can accept change and use it as a jumping board, a platform for you to move your practice forward. Because entropy, change, chaos problems, those are nothing more than veiled opportunities for you to become better and set yourself apart from your competitors and really take the lead in your city.
This month’s podcast features Doug Lemov, Erica Woolway and Katie Yezzi from Teach Like a Champion. They collaborated on a book, Practice Perfect, that promotes the concept of teachers practicing skills to make them better classroom managers and teachers.For years Teach Like a Champion conferences were heavy on traditional teaching, but it was missing a big piece: Checking for Understanding. Also, while attendees were exposed to great ideas and ways to teach, they often went back to their schools unable to put into practice what they had learned.Doug and crew decided to change how the workshops are run and give teachers a chance to practice the new skills and get feedback from their peers and the facilitators on what was effective and things to try next time.During the podcast, we discuss Doug’s journey to create Teach Like a Champion and the revelation concerning the “get it, do it” gap.We discuss checking for understanding, the role of forgetting, and how all this can apply to coaches and coach developers.For more information, please visit Teach Like a Champion.Doug is on Twitter @doug_lemov.Katie is @ktyezzi.Erica is @ericawoolwayTeach Like a Champion is @teachlikeachampion
So life is going to move forward, business life is no different. Business life is going to move forward. The market, market conditions, market realities will change every single day. And if you're not in the market, you can't adapt to that change. If you're getting ready to get into the market, you can't adapt to that change. If you're getting ready to build that new website and you haven't done it, right? Even if it's crap, it's better than not having one. Because you can change it, right? This is the thing that I want you to understand, that business is fluid.
When you are engaging in social media, when you are taking selfies, putting out videos, and relying on that for business, the control is 100% out of your hands. If Facebook goes under or the government decides to shut them down or break them up, whatever, anything can happen, your business can tank.
In the first edition of "Book Club", "A Pen And A Napkin" host Marty Plum breaks down "Practice Perfect", a great guide to communicating and making your educational practices more efficient and more positive for both your students or athletes.

Show Notes- Kate Clayborn writes awesome books, but her romance think pieces at Frolic aren't too be missed.- There's nothing more hilarious than reviving old twitter threads, and in this one Kate and Talia Hibbert talk IAD.- The Game Maker series will get its own episodes, don't worry. Jen was thinking about saving this chastity belt article for then, but really, why wait?- Best of Luck was just named one of Amazon's Best Romance of December, which is as it should be. The second book in the series, Luck of the Draw, was on Sarah's Best of 2018 list for the Washington Post.- Sarah's twitter thread where people described what they'd do if they won a billion dollars is pretty fun to read. But really, there's a reason we all love that daydream. - This month, the Ripped Bodice is spearheading The Great Big Romance Read and maybe you can find a bookstore, library, or blog where you can talk about Pride by Ibi Zoboi.- The American Dream is complicated, college is expensive, and all of it freaks Jen out if she thinks about it too much.- Sarah wrote a YA historical! It's called The Season.- This is a good take on why the best friend's sibling trope is so powerful.- Sinner by Sierra Simone. She talks about her writing here. Jen doesn't really think it counts as blasphemy, but she looked it up just to be sure.- Some more about insprirational romance, and although we didn't mention her name on the podcast, Jen thinks Piper Huguley writes the best inspirational romance out there. She wrote about Piper's book The Mayor's Mission and Sarah's book Day of the Duchess in this piece on miscarriage in romance.- Goddess of the Hunt by Tessa Dare. -Clean Breaks by Ruby Lang. But when this podcast went live, it was an even better deal to buy all three books in the Practice Perfect series bundled together.

"For me, KPI is almost like a shortcut to get inside your business performance. So when you look at the metrics of customer acquisition costs, so you look on conversion rate except just the number that you see and your result in terms of conversion go up, in terms of acquisitions goes down, there is a lot more to that. It represents an entire aspect of your business."

"That's the biggest problem I see facing professional practices. They do not stand out at all. Worse, they don't understand the principles to stand out."
"If you can take care of this seemingly very boring topic, it can exponentially increase the growth of your business. And that stability, and that free money that keeps coming back will let you advertise more aggressively and put your competitors where they belong which is in your rear view mirror."
Join Abbey and Christine in their lively discussion of ideas for practice during the summer that they have learned from their years as students, teachers, and parents. Our second summer school episode is full of ideas you can use in your house or in your studio with the students you work with.

"The amygdala is pure survival instinct and you can leverage this instinct to get people to take action in your practice and to increase your overall sales in an ethical manner. But in a way that gets people to take the action that they want to take, that, they should take but have not had a reason to take."
""The more you tell the more you sell and that's what you should be thinking about. And that's true for any industry that you're in. The more you tell the more you sell."
"Staff at medical practices feel that their job is to inform the patient, inform the caller, how well you do at informing the customer, is not going to translate to sales, because their number one job is to get the booking. Nothing else really matters on incoming calls."
"You have to have the mindset that you need to win the business out of the market. You don't deserve the business. You have to take it. You have to win it. You have to be better than the competition."
The number one problem most practices have isn't getting more patients, it's in not converting the patients they get. Find out how to make a difference in your practice using the marketing assets you already have.
"Your brand isn't the foundation of your business. Your business is the foundation of your brand."

Here in part one of this podcast series we discuss the following while focusing on the first part of his book titled ‘Rethinking Practice': What does the word teacher mean to you? What inspired you to write this book? What does it mean to ‘engage the dream of better'? Why is it important to ‘replace a purpose with an objective'? Why is it important to ‘differentiate a drill from a scrimmage'? Why is it important to ‘correct instead of critique'? What's the one thing coaches should look to do when correcting? Plus more!
