If you've thrown in the towel on your dreams, you need to pick it up. Why? In this final message from Pastor Jeff Schreve's Dreams and Detours series, he'll remind you that God is faithful, purposeful, and plentiful for all those who remain faithful. WHEN YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE, you'll know that God turned the worst and made it the best. Remember: “Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20).

If you've thrown in the towel on your dreams, you need to pick it up. Why? In this final message from Pastor Jeff Schreve's Dreams and Detours series, he'll remind you that God is faithful, purposeful, and plentiful for all those who remain faithful. WHEN YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE, you'll know that God turned the worst and made it the best. Remember: “Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20).

Here's the scenario: You've been promoted in your current unit. You are now managing people who used to be your peers – at least one of whom may have also applied for the promotion.  How do you transition from a colleague to a manager? This can happen as you move from an individual contributor to a first-time manager, or from a manager to a director or senior manager. You could also become a VP and start managing your former director colleagues. In short, this scenario can happen at any level.  As I researched this topic, many of the resources I looked at gave rather generic advice – in other words, here are the things any manager should do in a new role. I wanted to give you advice specific to leading those you used to work alongside, so here are my nine suggestions. I used mindtools.com and mondostaffing.com to help me with this episode.   Let's start off with why it is important to start this new role off on the right foot. You want to avoid, as much as possible, negative feelings (“why did SHE get the role and not me?” or “HE didn't deserve this promotion as much as XXX did”) You want to maintain what has, hopefully, been a positive professional relationship and earn their trust and respect. You may not immediately be afforded trust and respect – it's yours to EARN.  #1. Be humble. This can work both ways – you can choose to brag about the promotion or you can choose to beat yourself up when you make a rookie mistake. Neither of these approaches will serve you. Acknowledge the promotion when someone else brings it up, but don't boast. Also, recognize that you WILL make mistakes – and that those mistakes are a necessary ingredient in your success.  Unfortunately, some people may revel in your mistakes – even sabotage you. Address these situations appropriately as soon as possible – they are workplace cancers.   #2. Acknowledge the shift – and the awkwardness.It's up to you to acknowledge the change between yourself and your former peers – bring it out in the open and acknowledge that it may feel awkward at first.  Your professional relationships WILL change now – pretending anything else won't serve you or your team.  Bring the shift out into the open and allow time for the transition.   #3. Be transparent. Setting clear expectations for each team member, and for the team as a whole, is important. Lay out your goals and the changes you want to implement and be open to hearing their feedback.   #4. Set clear boundaries.Friendships previously formed may need to change. After-hours activities may no longer include you. You'll need to set clear boundaries and recognize that your team may need to do the same.   #5. Don't pick favorites. It can be tempting to show favoritism towards a team member who was your friend. Remember: Now you are making decisions based on what is best for the team and your unit – not who you like the most.  Your goal should be to make sure everyone is treated fairly, regardless of their relationships with you prior to the promotion.   #6. Recognize the change in dynamic. If you previously vented work frustrations or joked about company or department policies with your peers, you now want to set a professional tone with your team. You'll be under more scrutiny as a manager and you don't want to get a reputation as not being a loyal member of management. Lead by example – with a high level of integrity.   #7. Set clear expectations. One of your primary goals as a manager is to ensure your team members know what is expected of them and they have the tools to be successful.  Make sure you set clear expectations around what is and isn't acceptable in terms of work quality, adhering to deadlines, and other important issues.  And piggy-backing on #4 – Don't Pick Favorites – make sure the expectations you set apply equally to everyone, as do the consequences of not meeting those expectations.   #8. Schedule regular 1:1s. Regular 1:1s with each member of your team will help ensure you are on top of each person's progress and development, allow you to address any concerns or issues quickly, and help keep everyone on the same page relative to goals and objectives.   #9. Ask for help. At whatever level you are rising to, there are a multitude of trainings out there – from online courses to in-person seminars and even certifications. If you feel you need training to help you succeed in this transition – ask for it.  Along those lines, ask for a mentor(s).  Here's a quote from the Mindtools.com website: “A new boss who tries to remain "one of the team" can end up frustrating everyone. When you're more concerned about friendships than results, poor decisions are usually inevitable. If you're afraid of being called "bossy," you may not hold people accountable, or you may avoid making unpopular decisions.” The bottom line can be summed up as follows: -It's not going to be the same – don't try to make it be the same. -Don't expect automatic trust and respect – you'll have to earn it.  -Set clear expectations – and make them consistent for all team members.  -Lead by example – your professionalism will help earn the trust and respect you want. -Ask for help – whether training, a mentor, or other assistance to set yourself up for success.   Are you in the wrong job that chips away at you every day?

So, episode 100 - a new record. But you know that right? Because you subscribe to the show and have already rated and reviewed the podcast - right? You should.The Docket is 100 episodes old! Thank-you so much for all your support over the years.On this last episode of the year we take a look at the SNC-Lavalin guilty plea. It seems that the politicians and their media surrogates still don't get what this whole scandal was all about. Good think we are here to break down the whole debacle!And then we move on to the double Ds - Doug Ford and Doug Downey - who were all smiles this week when they introduced their signature justice legislation, the Smarter and Stronger Justice Act, billing it as a fix for Ontario's complex and outdated justice system. They said it would improve legal aid services and enhance access to justice, but it turns out that the bill does neither of these things and in the end it is really just another way to break Ontario's legal aid system.And that's a wrap on 2019. Emilie and I hope everyone has a great holiday season. 2020 looks like it is going to be just as busy and hectic as 2019 was - and we will be here to talk about it all.Remember: Now you can join The Docket's Discord chatroom.

Good! – ¡bueno! - Let’s move on to our list of irregular verbs. Vamos a seguir con la lista de verbos irregulares. La última lista de los verbos irregulares comunes. ¿Qué es el verbo coger en inglés? Bueno, en America latino creo que tiene una significa vulgar como to fuck en ingles. Creo que se usa el verbo agarrar para no crear confusión. Pero en España, coger normalmente es To take Escucha y repite: take – took –taken– con ‘n’. Repeat: take – took –taken. Please take some cake. I took the last train home. – Have you taken your holiday yet? Dar y coger = give and take. Next is the verb  enseñar – to teach repeat: teach – taught – taught. El sonido vocal es /au/ - taught. Repite: taught – como bought, caught and thought. I taught tennis years ago. Have you taught children? How many hours do you teach? El verbo decir is to tell. Listen; tell – told – told. Los verbos Tell y say tiene casi la misma significación. La diferencia es que un objeto directo sigue inmediatamente al verbo tell. Tell me – tell us etc. El verbo say nunca sigue un objeto. Es normalmente seguido por that (que) o el estilo indirecto. - I told him my name = Yo le conte a el mi nombre. - He told us your name =  El nos contó tu nombre. - Then she said "I love you" = Entonces ella dijo "te amo".   ¿Qué es el verbo pensar en ingles? - to think. Y qué es el pasado del verbo think? – It’s thought. El mismo sonido vocal del verbo taught. Repite: think – thought – thought - /au/ thought. I thought about you – Pensé en ti. – I don’t think so – no lo creo. Repite: I don’t think so. – Do you think so? I don’t think so. What are you thinking about? ¿Qué estas pensando? I’ve thought about you a lot. Next is the verb understand or entender in Spanish. Repeat: understand – understood - understood. I’m sorry I don’t understand – lo siento, no entiendo – I’m sorry, I don’t understand. Do you understand? – I understood you perfectly. Do you understand Spanish? Yes, I understand, but I can’t speak it. How do you say despertarse in English? To wake – aunque to wake es un verbo principal, es más común decir to wake up. Wake up es un verbo frasal -  a phrasal verb – un verbo compuesto con dos partes. Repite: wake up – el pasado es woke up. What time did you wake up today? I woke up at 7. What time do you usually wake up?  So, wake – woke – woken Repite: wake – woke – woken. Good! Now, llevar puesto in English is to wear. Repite: wear –wore–worn. Escucha y repite los sonido vocales: /ea/ wear – /or/ - wore - /or/ worn – con ‘N’. What do you wear  for work? What did you wear yesterday? I wore my brown shirt. What are you wearing tonight? ¿Qué te vas a poner esta noche? – Have you worn your new shoes yet? Next is the verb ganar en ingles – to win. Repeat: win – won – won. He usually wins. Did you win the competition? Manchester United won yesterday. How much money have you won? ¡Ojo! Se utiliza el verbo ganar en español para hablar del trabajo y los sueldos. ¿Cuánto ganas al mes? Pero en inglés hay otro verbo – to earn. How much money do you earn? I earn a good salary – gano un buen sueldo. She earns a lot of money. So earn money and win a competition. Earn a good salary and win the lottery. And finally, the verb escribir – write – W-R-I-T-E. Repeat: write – wrote – written. Otra vez write – wrote – written. I write a lot of emails. How do you write your name? I wrote to my insurance company. How many words have you written? I’m thinking of writing a book. ¡Muy bien! Ahora escucha de nuevo y intenta decir la segunda y tercera forma del verbo antes que lo digo yo. Ready? ¿Listo? take teach tell think understand wake wear win write took taught told thought understood woke wore won wrote taken taught told thought understood woken worn won written Very good! Well done! ¡Muy bien! – y con el verbo to write hemos terminado nuestra lista de los verbo irregulares en inglés.

I’m sorry, I don’t understand - I’m sorry, I don’t understand I don’t think so. - I don’t think so. I can’t wear that shirt, I wore it yesterday. - I can’t wear that shirt, I wore it yesterday. Moving on to the intermediate section, and in last month’s podcast, in October, we looked at strong or extreme adjectives  - freezing, filthy, enormous, exhausted etc. Remember? Now, this month, let’s look at the order of adjectives before a noun – el orden de los adjetivos. Remember, it’s the opposite to Spanish. Not the car red – el coche o carro rojo, but the red car. Not the girl beautiful – la chica guapa o linda, but the beautiful girl. And the order of adjectives before a noun in English is stricter – más estricto, riguroso – than in Spanish. The order is as follows: First, adjectives of opinion like nice, ugly, beautiful- your opinion. then size or weight (tamaño o peso): heavy, large, small, then age; young, old ancient etc. then shape like round square, rectangular. Followed by colour, then origin – where the noun is from, for example German or Canadian, then it’s the material of the thing; like metal, plastic, wooden etc. and finally the noun. One way to remember this is by using the acronym OSASHCORM. Repeat: OSASHCORM. The O is opinion, the S is size (or weight), the A is age, the SH is shape, the C is colour, the OR is origin and the M is material. OSASHCORM. Say it again with me after 3 one – two – three – OSASHCORM! Listen and repeat the sentences: An old blue sweater An expensive Japanese car.                                 A sexy young lady. A boring English grammar book. The last two months. A heavy black laptop. A pretty French village. An ugly heavy Swiss watch. A terrible new film.   A lovely white plastic table. A funny little man. Gorgeous big brown eyes.   Also in the intermediate section, we looked at some more common collocations. Especially those words that like to collocate, or go together, with verbs make, take, do and have. So, let’s see what you remember. If you make an appointment you organise a meeting with other people. I need to make an appointment to see my doctor. You can’t see him without an appointment. To have an appointment means you are going to participate in a meeting with other people. First you make an appointment, then you have an appointment. Don’t confuse appointment with arrangement. To make an appointment is pedir una cita o hora. An arrangement is more un arreglo o un plan: What are your arrangements? - ¿cuáles son tus planes? Both go together with the verb make, so you make arrangements and you make appointments. Have you made arrangements for Friday afternoon? To have an argument with someone means to argue with that person. You can also say to have a row (with someone). To have a row is an informal British English expression. Quite common: “I had a row with my girlfriend and now we’re not speaking to each other.” Row, is a verb and a noun. “Listen to the neighbours rowing next door.” – to have a row with someone. – To have an argument. To make a breakthrough means to make an important discovery. “Scientists have made a breakthrough in regenerative medicine.” To take care means to be careful. I often say “take care” when I say goodbye to people I care about. Especially on the phone when I end a conversation. “Yeah, it was really great to talk to you. Speak to you soon. Take care. Bye.” Maybe in Spanish you say ¡Cuídate! Or ¡Que te vaya bien! – Take care! - Take care of someone or something means cuidar a. “My mum’s getting old now so my sister takes care of her.” - It’s similar to the phrasal verb to look after. To take care of can also mean ocuparse de algo. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of all the emails and you make the coffee.” If you take charge of something you assume authority over it. Imagine the police arriving at an accident scene. “Ok, stand back. We’re taking charge now.” Who’s in charge?” ¿Quien manda aquí” – To take charge – encargarse o hacerse cargo. “Who’s going to take charge of the office when Pepito leaves?” To make conversation means to start a conversation with someone with no other aim than to talk and break the silence. To have a conversation means to converse, or to speak. To make a deal (in British English) or do a deal (in American English) means to make a contract with someone. The businessman took his partner out to lunch to make a deal. - Le citó con la idea de hacer un negocio con él. To make a decision, or take a decision, is to decide. “Have you made a decision about selling your flat?” To do an operation means to operate medically on someone. “Who’s doing the operation?” To take an opportunity is similar to taking advantage of a situation. To make an opportunity means to arrange things to your advantage. And to have an opportunity means to be at the right place at the right time to do something advantageous. In the business English section this month, we practised asking people to do things in the office. When you ask people to do things in English, the intonation is very important. We use rising and falling intonation to be more polite. Listen: Can I phone you later? Repeat: Can I phone you later? Listen: Would you mind phoning me later? Repeat: Would you mind phoning me later? Listen: Please make sure you phone me later. Repeat: Please make sure you phone me later. Listen: Could you phone me later? Repeat: Could you phone me later? Now you try… Listen: Please don’t forget to phone me later.  Repeat: Please don’t forget to phone me later.  Last month, in the advanced section, we practised animal idioms.
