The conversation concludes by emphasizing the link between great meetings and great teams, highlighting the role of meetings in fostering collaboration, building relationships, and achieving project goals. Sound Bites "Meetings are a fact of life, often complained about but also often tolerated." "Connection before context. Before you start right into the meeting, make sure you have a little bit of social interaction." "Goblins are personalities that come out during meetings, and it's up to the meeting facilitator to recognize and address them." "Great meetings aren't just about agendas and facilitation techniques; they're about showing that you care about the project and the team." "Rosie the Reticent is the quiet version of Nadia the Naysayer." "Decision latency is one of the biggest reasons for project failures, so it's crucial to have the right people at meetings." "Understanding national, regional, and organizational cultures is important for effective meetings."

In part 2 of this series Miyanovich and Van Dreal discuss: the difficulty of collecting data related to "stopping a school shooting", when school systems are reluctant to making their schools safer, the reality of the school to prison pipeline, school systems being too soft on student behavior, and potential bias within behavioral threat assessment systems.
If you're an artist who wants to get your work out into the world to be seen, appreciated, and even purchased, you will face the need for self-promotion. If that idea makes you squirm, you are not alone --and this podcast is for you. Why do so many artists hate the idea of promoting themselves? Probably because many of us were taught from an early age to be modest, to avoid mentioning our achievements, and to be grateful for whatever life handed us without seeking more. But dealing with the art world requires a different approach. You need to let people know who you are and what you do if you want to advance your career. Today we'll talk about ways of self-promotion that may be comfortable even if you have a reserved, humble, or quiet personality. If self-promotion is stressful to you, you may be struggling with overcoming these early lessons. Or you may have a truly humble or quiet personality that you're happy with, but it holds you back from things you need to do to get your work into the world. However, self-promotion does not mean you have to change who you are. In fact, the best way to handle it is to be yourself, and not present yourself in a way you believe will impress others. If your true personality is low-key or reserved, that is the tone to use in your self-promotion. That doesn't mean being self-deprecating, which is never helpful, or on the other hand exaggerating your achievements. Being honest and direct is the key. Although avoiding self-promotion may be an ingrained habit, you need to acknowledge that it is necessary to operate in the art world. Your potential collectors and others in the position to help you want to know about you and what you do. A confident attitude is important in these situations, whether you are crafting a written statement or speaking in person. If you have trouble with this, remember that sticking to facts about yourself and your achievements is a safe and comfortable entry point. Simply stating these in a straightforward manner is never objectionable to other people. Different types of self-promotion require different approaches, so it helps to know what is expected in each situation. This can range from a formal communication like a press release to something that is less formal, like a blog or newsletter. Lots of times you have some leeway in how to phrase things or how personal to make them, and you can find a tone that suits your true self. With practice, all types of self-promotion become easier to tackle. Thanks to everyone who has been sharing the show and donating!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 9, 2023 is: reticent RET-uh-sunt adjective Reticent is often used as a synonym of reserved to describe someone who does not readily or openly talk to others. Despite objections from some, reticent is also often used as a synonym of reluctant. // She is reticent about discussing her personal business with anyone. // Despite claims of openness, the organization has always been reticent to disclose even the most basic information about its internal operations. See the entry > Examples: “Having long harbored ambitions to produce and direct, [Eva] Longoria decided it was time to pivot. But the same industry that was ready to program her into its fall lineup was more reticent to put her behind the camera for one of its series.” — Mia Galuppo, The Hollywood Reporter, 28 June 2023 Did you know? We hate to break it to the language sticklers among us, but use of reticent as a synonym of reluctant—though it veers away from the word's Latin origins in the verb reticēre, meaning “to keep silent”—is well established, and there is no reason to be reticent about employing it. In fact, reticent took on its “reluctant” sense a mere 50 years after first appearing in English in the early 19th century with the meaning “inclined to be silent or uncommunicative.” Though brows may furrow and lips may purse, the development of reticent's newer meaning has some logic to it: English speakers first used reticent synonymously with reluctant when the context was speech, as in “he was reticent to talk about his past,” keeping the word close to its “silent” beginnings. Eventually, however, exclusive association with speech was abandoned, and one can now be reticent to do anything, even if it's to admit that language is not immutable.

Chris Hathcock is known as creative mind and songwriter for the progressive metal band, The Reticent. Chris is also known as a Grammy nominated music educator, and is one of the most interesting, and challenging, humans I've met over my years as a performing artist.I've known Chris for awhile now, and in that time, I've fallen in love with his musical projects. I've also witnessed him suffer traumatic loss at an almost legendary scale. Like all of us, Chris has lost family members and friends over the years, including his father, whom Chris was incredibly close. His father's passing has resulted in Chris creating a new album project where he lays his life and feelings bare in the rarest of ways. You want to reach through his songs to help him heal, but wildly enough, the very reason you want to do that IS because his words and theme touch your aching heart as well. It's quite something to experience.So, this said, I can only warn you that today is not your typical light conversation about an upcoming band or a cautionary tale of celebrity. This is Chris Hathcock, uncompromisingly authentic and desperately seeking anything or anyone that will bring him out of the deep dark hole he's been trapped in as far back as he can remember. This is a conversation about mental illness, surviving it, and admitting that thriving within it doesn't just seem hopeless, but impossible.This is a conversation about the most ugly truths. This is a real life deep dive with my friend, Chris Hathcock, on a very important Rockstar Superhero.Time codes:2:00 The impossibility of now3:35 Panel discussions6:30 Faltering when things are close to the edge11:00 Distracting oneself15:20 Making himself stronger 20:20 Carried offstage 25:20 Hearing a smile on the phone31:30 Flattering messages37:30 Finding out about The Reticent 43:00 The Old Guard47:45 Giving to charities 52:40 Despondency and sadness 57:50 Missing the opportunities of love1:03:00 Behavioral Therapy1:08:00 Misunderstanding praise 1:13:00 Extraordinary writing abilities1:17:00 A window into another mind1:22:00 Real excited about the upcoming tour1:27:00 Getting away from it when it's too much 1:31:00 Super cool mixing techniques1:35:00 Affecting the lives of those that listen to the show todaySubscribe to both shows here: https://bit.ly/3airCvh Wanna be on the show?Go here: https://calendly.com/rockstarsuperheroThe Rockstar Superhero Podcast examines the personal lives and creative careers of your favorite classic rock artists.

The Mister by E. L. James Ch 2https://bit.ly/3ykVwvCLondon, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he's never had to work, and he's rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family's noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It's a role he's not prepared for and one that he struggles to face. But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who's recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past. Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she's an alluring mystery, and Maxim's longing for her deepens into a passion that he's never experienced and dares not name. Just who is Alessia Demachi? Can Maxim protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? And what will she do when she learns that he's been hiding secrets of his own? From the heart of London through wild, rural Cornwall to the bleak, forbidding beauty of the Balkans, The Mister is a roller-coaster ride of danger and desire that leaves the listener breathless to the very last moment.https://bit.ly/3ykVwvCVisit us at https://bookcastmedia.com/

Reticent. Diffident. Two words to describe the personality of guitarist Theron Shaw of Trinidad and Tobago. Another pair of apt adjectives would be determined and inventive. In a revealing conversation, we get into what made Shaw the popular choice for the islands' premier jazz guitarist. Three acclaimed albums, years of touring and working at defining for a new generation what the essence of kaisojazz is and can be for that demographic are hallmarks that are explored and revealed.

Are you reticent to share your thoughts online? Do you fear to say something that might then be used against you? If you do, you are not alone....For without speaking and thinking incompletely and at times badly out-loud, we cannot change our minds, see other points of view, and ultimately understand 'better'.
Vanessa Garry is passionate about preparing aspiring administrators to lead today’s schools. As an assistant professor of educator preparation and leadership at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, she often finds herself looking to the past for some of the most important lessons she teaches. That history is not always easy to grapple with, and Garry knows its ugliness better than most. The Missouri General Assembly’s 1847 passage of an act making it illegal to educate people of color is just one early example. Even after that changed in 1865, public schools were segregated by law. By the early 20th century, African American communities were leading the way in search of progress and reform. And one of those leaders was growing up in St. Louis’ Ville neighborhood: Ruth Harris. Described by Garry as a “reticent disrupter” in the Jim Crow era, Harris in 1940 became the first African American female president of Stowe Teachers College, which is now Harris-Stowe State University. This year marks the 80th anniversary of her appointment. Listen as Garry talks with host Sarah Fenske about Harris’ life and legacy.

You've seen it on all of your social media. It was popular on fax machines back in the 1970's. It's the classic story of Agnes' letters to John after he sent her each of the gifts from the 12 Days of Christmas song. No one in the world has delivered this as Cher Goodchild! Note: she did NOT rehearse it, which is amazing for her delivery and the fact that she had to omit and change words for the profanity in the original, making it even funnier! This is the recording of Cher performing the letters live on The Rick Jensen Show.

John Rawls is easily the most celebrated and influential political philosopher of the 20th Century, and his impact remains remarkably strong today. The central concepts with which his theory of justice begins are now components of the philosophical vernacular: The Original Position, Veil of Ignorance, Primary Goods, and his Two Principles of Justice (especially the Difference Principle) all will be well known to the majority of professional philosophers. It is less commonly acknowledged that the apparatus just referenced is but the beginning of his theory, and not its ultimate concern. Throughout his work, Rawls is attempting to address a fundamental philosophical question: Can a society committed to the freedom and equality of its citizens yet arrange social institutions in a way that reliably cultivate within persons the attitudes and dispositions required for social justice? In John Rawls: Reticent Socialist (Cambridge UP, 2017), William A. Edmundson argues that Rawlsian justice calls for a socialist economic order.

This week in Episode 61 of the Bright Planning Marketing Podcast, your hosts Catherine Campbell and Jason Pyles provide several tips about blogging. Reticent writers have a lot of questions about blogging, such as what should the word count be for a business blog? This episode has some answers for you. We also discuss about “epic content” blogs and using photos to break up the paragraphs. We talk about cornerstone content and how it’s used on a business website. Every blog should have a call to action at the end and in the middle, just to make sure you can reach those who don’t read through to the end. Don’t bother writing a blog to apologize for an absence from writing; instead, just make it a priority to write frequently and consistently. “If your blog is just ‘me-centric,’ then that tends to fall flat because it’s not insightful. A business blog shouldn’t just be a journal. Get different team members’ voices, as well.” We want to hear your thoughts, reviews and more questions! Leave a review on iTunes and subscribe to get new marketing episodes on the go. Have a question for Catherine? Email us! info@brightplanning.com. Thanks for listening!

British historian, journalist, and broadcaster Tim Stanley sees connections among ideas and movements. Take the modern conservative movement, for instance. He produced a documentary for the BBC titled How Marx Made the Right in which he credits Karl Marx as a major causal factor in the rise of the Right in the 20th century. In this interview, you’ll gain insight into life as a Catholic convert working in the public maw of secular Great Britain (or the “U.K.” as the more nondescript nomenclature goes) and into the importance of participating in the process of public story telling, which is another way of describing the media’s “news coverage” function: facts + value = story. Tim earned his PhD in history at Trinity College, Cambridge, and has taught US history at Sussex, London and Oxford. Reticent to be called conservative, he says, “I prefer traditionalist - the Amish seem to know what they're doing.” Either way, he speaks clearly about the need to preserve the foundations of the great thing called western civilization.

Even to longtime Christians, God can oftentimes appear reticent, even silent. Sometimes, God does things that feel extraordinary, but most of the time -- from our experience -- he seems to be elusive. The cross clearly shows us it's not because he doesn't care or because he doesn't want to be intimate with us. Rather, the character of God shows there are reasons and wisdom for his subtle -- even puzzling -- ways. | Psalm 13

First names like "Patience," "Hope," and "Charity" are inspired by worthy qualities. But how about "Be-courteous" or "Hate-evil"?

Prefixes are key morphemes in English vocabulary that begin words. The prefix re-, which means “back” or “again,” appears in hundreds of English vocabulary words, for example: reject, regenerate, and revert. You can remember that the prefix re- means “back” via the word return, or turn “back;” to remember that re- means “again” consider rearrange, or arrange “again.”Like this?
