She worked in school boards, a sexual assault center, and child welfare, and eventually went into private practice when she started working on reserves.  First private practice experience  So far, Jenny has really loved her group private practice work, even though it can be challenging. Her Canadian private practice is in various partnerships with other organizations.  These intentions have helped guide Jenny in her decision-making process, especially when it comes to hiring the right staff and offering the best services for their client base.  Marketing and building a group practice One of Jenny's best marketing practices has been relational marketing.  Jenny knows that when you are intentional and committed, people will find and come to you for help. Therefore, she and her team make it one of the practice's missions to be connected with their community and get to know their client base intimately.  Doing good work and knowing that good people will come relates both to clients and to clinicians.  The future of Dragonfly counselling  Jenny has started to outsource work that she finds tough doing, such as her SEO and various aspects of running the business. Outsourcing marketing is a great way to save up your time to focus on what you love to do, and get your business seen without too much stress and worry.  In the future, Jenny still wants to keep Dragonfly more intimate and small, and would only grow it larger if she saw the need to do so.  Jenny's advice to listeners  Don't be afraid to lead with your story! Because your genuine stories are impactful for clients.

Connacht Rugby and the IRFU have announced the appointment of Stuart Lancaster as the club's new Head Coach. Lancaster has signed a two-year contract and arrives at the province with a wealth of coaching experience at the highest level of the sport, across all three major European leagues and at international level. He most recently served as Head Coach of Racing 92 in France, and before then enjoyed a hugely successful seven-year spell as Senior Coach of Leinster Rugby. With primary responsibility for the day-to-day coaching of the team, he helped lead Leinster to four consecutive PRO14 titles and four Champions Cup finals, including victory in the 2018 decider. As the news broke, Galway Bay FM's William Davies joined John Morley and Darren Kelly on Galway Talks. == He made the move to Leinster after four years as Head Coach of the England national team, with whom he led for four Six Nations campaigns and the 2015 Rugby World Cup in his native country. He was appointed to that role after four years as the RFU's Head of Elite Player Development, where his primary remit was to help young players realise their potential at club and international level. Lancaster began his coaching career over 20 years ago, as Head of Academy at Leeds RFU. He was then appointed Head Coach of the Leeds Tykes in 2006, leading them to promotion to the English Premiership in his first year in charge. After a further year as Head Coach, he was promoted to the RFU. As Head Coach, Lancaster will also have responsibility for defence, thereby completing next season's coaching team. Joining him will be new attack coach Rod Seib, scrum & contact coach Cullie Tucker, and lineout & maul coach John Muldoon. Lancaster will take up the role in time for the beginning of pre-season training in July, and will be formally presented to the media and wider Connacht supporters next month.

Le Stade Français, face à Castres, et Perpignan, contre Toulouse, se battront à distance samedi pour ne pas finir à la 13e place du Top 14, synonyme d'un match de barrage contre le finaliste perdant de Pro D2.

C'est une idée qui circule depuis des années dans le monde du sport : porter un maillot rouge augmenterait les chances de victoire. Cela peut sembler anecdotique, voire superstitieux, mais cette affirmation est en réalité appuyée par plusieurs études scientifiques sérieuses. Couleur de la puissance et de l'agressivité, le rouge pourrait avoir un véritable impact psychologique et physiologique, tant sur les adversaires que sur les arbitres… voire sur les athlètes eux-mêmes.Une première étude fondatrice : les Jeux d'Athènes 2004En 2005, une étude publiée dans la revue Nature par Russell Hill et Robert Barton, chercheurs à l'Université de Durham (Royaume-Uni), a analysé les résultats de plusieurs compétitions de taekwondo, boxe, lutte gréco-romaine et lutte libre aux Jeux olympiques d'Athènes en 2004. Dans ces disciplines, les sportifs étaient assignés aléatoirement à porter un maillot rouge ou bleu.Les résultats sont clairs : les athlètes en rouge ont gagné 55 % des matchs, une différence statistiquement significative. Et plus le niveau était élevé (quart de finale, demi-finale, finale), plus l'avantage du rouge se confirmait. Les chercheurs ont conclu que le rouge pouvait augmenter la perception de dominance ou d'agressivité, influençant à la fois l'adversaire… et le jugement des arbitres.Football, rugby… même constat ?Depuis cette étude, d'autres recherches ont exploré l'effet du rouge dans divers sports :En football, une étude de 2008 publiée dans le Journal of Sports Sciences a examiné les résultats des équipes de Premier League anglaise entre 1946 et 2003. Les clubs portant traditionnellement du rouge, comme Manchester United, affichaient un taux de victoire à domicile de 63 %, contre 55 % pour ceux portant du bleu.En rugby, une étude menée sur le Tournoi des Six Nations a également montré que les équipes en rouge gagnaient légèrement plus souvent, mais les résultats restent discutés.Pourquoi le rouge aurait-il un tel effet ?Les explications avancées sont multiples :1. Psychologie évolutionniste : dans la nature, le rouge est souvent associé à la dominance (pensons à la coloration de certains primates ou oiseaux). Les humains pourraient avoir hérité de cette sensibilité.2. Effet psychologique sur l'adversaire : le rouge pourrait inconsciemment intimider ou provoquer une surestimation de l'agressivité de l'autre.3. Influence sur les arbitres : des tests ont montré que des juges donnent des scores plus élevés à des sportifs portant du rouge que du bleu, dans des situations visuellement identiques (Hagemann et al., 2007).4. Effet sur la performance du porteur : se sentir plus fort ou dominant en rouge pourrait améliorer la performance, par effet placebo ou confiance accrue.ConclusionIl ne suffit pas d'enfiler un maillot rouge pour gagner, bien sûr. Mais les données montrent que dans certains contextes sportifs, le rouge peut fournir un petit avantage psychologique, notamment dans les sports d'opposition ou lorsqu'un arbitre doit trancher. Une preuve supplémentaire que le sport se joue autant dans la tête que dans les muscles. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Ep. 155 : Un Cru d'Exception - Bordeaux Champion d'Europe !Le Pack passera presque sous silence la triste sortie de route des Lyonnais douchés à Bath et renvoyés à leurs doutes pour une saison en demi teinte ! Direction Cardiff le lendemain pour assister à la magnifique conquête du titre européen par l'UBB pour qui 2025 restera un cru exceptionnel ! Pris à la gorge d'entrée, les bordelais ont su réagir avec panache et renverser leurs adversaires du jour en alternant l'excellent et le quelconque. A égalité à la mi-temps après 40 minutes exceptionnelles, ils ont pris 8 points d'avance. Les Saints de Northampton, certes diminués par les blessures n'ont pu qu'assister presque impuissants à l'inexorable chute du trophée dans la hotte des Bordelais. Avec la confiance engrangée à Cardiff, l'UBB file maintenant vers un possible doublé et une revanche totale sur les années de doute... et sur le stade Toulousain leur bourreau de l'an passé. Cet exploit serait alors le CRU DU SIECLE !

The Nations pod is back to run the rule over Andy Farrell's 38-man squad for the British & Irish Lions. Chris, Tom English and Gareth Rhys Owen see how the squads they picked after the Six Nations compare. GRO is forced to address the elephant in the room as only two Welsh players made the cut. How many more players will be called up? And will Owen Farrell end up in Australia after all? GRO makes a bold call for the 1st Test and shares the WhatsApp debate between Chris and Tom about two number 10s in the group chat.

The game of Rugby is having a moment on the global stage. It's attracting investment and growing its fan base and audiences. The Six Nations competition has just finished, with France triumphing over Scotland and the Women's World Cup is on the horizon. With dedicated fans and upmarket advertisers, the media rights are garnering significant interest. An old saying contrasted soccer (football to most of the world) with rugby by saying that football was a gentleman's game played by hooligans, while rugby was a hooligan's game played by gentlemen. And today, both the women's and men's games are gaining prominence. Unlike soccer (football), the world governing body for rugby spans both leagues and has strong female representation on its board. With high value advertisers driving revenue and both country competitions and national leagues creating a rich game schedule, media valuations are continuing to grow. From its origins as an amateur league, it's become much more. There's a nascent shift from free-to-air broadcast to paid media and streaming. It's quite a scrum!

Fresh off France's Six Nations win, I sat down with my old mate Shaun Edwards for a rare, wide-ranging conversation.This isn't just an interview — it's two lads from Wigan catching up after decades walking very different, but strangely parallel paths. Both of us came up through rugby, through hard graft and old-school values. But over time, we've both had to evolve. As coaches. As leaders. As men.We talked about it all, from the early days and the systems that changed the game, to fear, fatherhood, grief, and what it means to lead with heart, not just tactics.Shaun opened up in a way I don't think many have heard before. And for me, this episode felt special.We get into:Why Shaun hates losing more than he loves winningWhat fear can teach you and where it can fuck youHow he sees leadership and masculinity nowThe shift from hardness to softnessCoaching at the highest level, and what really drives performanceIf you're interested in what makes a great coach, a great team, or just a good man, this one's worth a listen.The Making of a CompetitorGrowing up in Wigan, and early life lessons from his dadWhy grief became a driving forceThe difference between rugby league and union — and what it taught himCoaching with FireThe early years at Wasps and WalesLessons from working with Gatland, Farrell and coWhat still motivates him after all these yearsA Brother Beyond RugbyThe early days of my friendship with ShaunWhat we've learned from each other and where our paths crossed againThe moment he started embracing softnessLeadership that LastsWhat players really need from a coach todayThe evolution of Shaun's leadership styleWhy presence, empathy and intuition matter more than ever
