Doktor Juraj Zajonc je špičkový etnológ, odborník na historické tkaniny, ich tradičnú výrobu, či dekorácie, ktoré ich zdobia. Pre túto tému zahorel už v detstve vďaka svojej starej mame. Ako vedec skúma aj sviatky, ktoré v našej spoločnosti reflektujeme a slávime. V poslednom období sa venuje sviatku svätého Valentína. Ľudia podľa neho tento sviatok spájajú nie len s partnerskou láskou, ale aj s láskou k prírode, či svojmu mestu, alebo charitatívnou láskou.Hovoriť s Katou Martinkovou bude aj o knihe Valentín na Slovensku, ktorú napísal, o tkanine z hrobky kniežaťa z Matejoviec – teda takzvaného slovenského Tutanchamóna, či o pečení chleba, ktorému sa rád oddáva. | Tolkšou Hosť sobotného Dobrého rána pripravuje RTVS – Slovenský rozhlas, Rádio Slovensko, SRo1.

Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Carlto Cuse,  “The creative process is not like a situation where you get struck by a single lightning bolt. You have ongoing discoveries, and there are ongoing creative revelations. Yes, it's really helpful to be marching toward a specific destination, but, along the way, you must allow yourself room for your ideas to blossom, take root, and grow.”   YouTube: https://youtu.be/nL5ppWNC4Ms   Check Out These Highlights: The creative process is designed to produce something you want. If you don't want to create it, then why do it?  I find that many of my clients and people I work with, confuse the creative process with problem-solving.    You are not creating something new if you simply jump from solving one problem to the next. Creating is bringing something into being that has not been created yet. It is therefore essential that you really care about what you want to create otherwise you are likely to respond to what you think you “should” create.    Avoid the dilemma of spending time, your talent, your energy, and your money on things that don't matter to you. Once you have an idea of what that “something” is that you really care about, you become inspired to solve problems to create it and feel inspired to bring something new into being.    About Donna Zajonc:   Donna is a Master Certified Coach and Director of Coaching for the Center for The Empowerment Dynamic.   Deeply curious about the inner workings of the human mind, Donna enthusiastically embraced professional coaching 20 years ago.

Matt inteviews Donna ZaJonc about her new book titled: Who Do You Want To Be On The Way To What You Want?: Coaching With The Empowerment Dynamic. Deepen your creativity and strengthen your influence as a leader and coach. How do I, and my clients, learn from our reactive habits instead of pushing them away? Why do the same habits keep reappearing in the first place? How can my drama patterns show me the way to being the person I want to be? If you're familiar with David Emerald's teaching story, The Power of TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic), you will recognize the main character in this audiobook: Sophia, the coach who walks with Ted and David. In this new story, we look in on Sophia many years later, after she has become an experienced professional coach. You will hear Sophia's internal dialogue, her doubts, and worries, as she learns to quiet her mind in service of coaching a head strong client. The coaching dialogue here reveals tools and methods intended to help you coach and empower yourself as well as others. We believe everyone deserves to be happy, but in today's world everywhere you turn there is division and negativity. At BriteVibe we have created a global movement to bring 8 million people together who are inspired to Live Brite, Live Bold and share BriteVibes. Alone it is hard to change, but together we can change the world. https://britevibe.com/

Heutiges Thema der Podcastfolge ist die Verkaufs- und Marketingpsychologie. Speziell geht es um den Mere-Exposure-Effekt von Zajonc, dieser bezeichnet eine positive Einstellungsänderung, eines Reizes, aufgrund der wiederholten Darstellung des Reizes. Was bedeutet das jetzt für Dich und Deine Marketingaktivität? Je regelmäßiger und konstanter Deine Wunschkunden mit Deinem Unternehmen oder Deinen Produkten in Kontakt kommen, umso höher ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass Dein Wunschkunde Dich bzw. Dein Unternehmen Deiner Konkurrenz bevorzugt. Einfach gesagt: „Verbreite Deine Message in der Welt so oft Du kannst.“ Wie genau Du den Mere-Exposure-Effekt für Dein Marketing nutzen kannst, erfährst Du in der Podcastfolge.

I am incredibly excited today to be speaking with Donna Zajonc, Director of Coaching for The Center for The Empowerment Dynamic. Today's episode is packed with so much helpful information, including tips and tools, that are very much needed by coaches in order to improve and grow. Donna has a new book out entitled, Who Do You Want to Be on the Way to What You Want? Coaching with the Empowerment Dynamic. I am so fortunate to be able to have Donna on today's episode to share some of the many wonderful resources from her book. As many of you may remember, Donna was on the show previously in https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/96dac2cc-fd2b-421b-aed1-887c2ab6ff38/ep42donnazajonc.mp3 (Episode 42) and again, in https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/af966b6e-cc8c-4934-a9f0-eaa9e99bf053/ep44donnazajonc.mp3 (Episode 44). If you missed her, please take time to listen to those episodes as well.   Show Highlights: Donna shares what she's been up to lately including working full-time in coach training, education, and writing about The Empowerment Dynamic. Showing up for your clients is something Donna speaks about in her book, Who Do You Want to Be on the Way to What You Want? Coaching with the Empowerment Dynamic. Donna shares how we can/should activate our inner observer to self-observe during the moment in order to better serve our clients. Donna shares that by practicing, “I can create what I want in this moment, I can learn to be a challenger, and I can learn to coach” we are using 3 important rules of The Empowerment Dynamic. Meg encourages each of us to tap into ourselves, as coaches, in order to learn what triggers us. Notice and name it, along with having self-compassion are two important tools coaches should have in their toolboxes and are discussed by Sophia and RJ, two characters in Donna's book. Being real and authentic, according to Donna, can be transformative. True inquiry is inquiring into the not knowing space, according to Donna. Tell 3 Stories, is a technique coaches can use with clients to enable them to broaden their perspectives. Donna uses this as an example with characters in her book. Donna says we can all learn a lesson from Sophia, a character in her book, when she is finally able to make friends with herself. Meg and Donna agree that becoming the most enlightened and best coaches we can be is paramount.

“If we focus on goals alone, without being tethered into this beingness, [it] can activate and trigger us, and we see those goals as our persecutor…‘Was the goal big enough? Did I do it fast enough?' So the goal-setting can actually become a persecutor. And in our own mind, we feel victim to that.” – Donna Zajonc   Are your goals also your persecutor? Working toward a goal or vision is important - but how often do we pay as much attention to the person that we're being while in that pursuit, as the pursuit itself?   It's easy to get caught up in the goal without placing attention on who we are along the way. However, without tending to ourselves we can feel trapped by our own goals and wonder if we're living up to the standards we've set. Distress and reactive behaviors follow.   Donna Zajonc covers this topic in her new book, Who Do You Want to Be on the Way to What You Want.   Alongside her partner, David Emerald, they've developed a framework for recognizing and responding more intentionally when life throws us a curve ball. We learn to move out of the toxicity of the Dreaded Drama Triangle (DDT), and how to reorient ourselves with the The Empowerment Dynamic (TED).   We'll discuss her new book, along with 3 powerful practices for you to use to look inward, spur creativity and conquer stress.   Tangled up in your emotions? Notice and name [00:28:21] “When we notice and name something, we are now able to see it and hold it in our hand and go, ‘Oh, look at that.' We're not as enmeshed into it, so we're not subject to it. It's really a powerful psychodynamic thing that's going on, that allows us to have it and not be it…when we can do that, our body starts calming down.”   Stuck? Tell 3 stories [00:30:50] “When we're really stuck and attached to a particular point of view, we're constricted in our bodies, our minds are constricted - and we are totally lost to the creativity of any other possibility. So we literally must broaden our perspective. That's really hard to do when we're stuck in one perspective. The practice of the possibility of telling three stories [helps you realize] there's even more going on here than I realized.”   Create space and see what space creates [00:39:24] “[Leaders often feel they] need to be able to tell people more ideas about how to fix this or be that. And it's actually the opposite - to let go of needing to have the answers and to create a safe space for others to step into their genius, their creator, their sense of who do they want to be. … Let's take a timeout let's breathe, let's calm ourselves, and trust that our wisdom is going to rise if we can calm ourselves.”   Resources: Donna Zajonc donna@theempowermentdynamic.com, Who do You Want to Be on the Way to What You Want? https://bookshop.org/a/16835/9781733678100 Center for the Empowerment Dynamic:  https://www.theempowermentdynamic.com/ Link to coach training in May 2022:  https://www.theempowermentdynamic.com/coaching-2/ Episode 51 Focus 2022: From Surviving to Thriving with 3 Vital Questions (Replay from February 2020):  https://rise-leaders.com/podcast/ Rise Leaders YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKZAhRU1iLsXYwpvCECVreg To discuss executive coaching, leadership development program design, and workshop facilitation, please visit: https://rise-leaders.com/contact-info/

ABOUT THE EPISODE We often think of habits as something that just “happens” to us. But the reality is that habits create our lives. They define who we are and play a huge role in our success. That's why it's so important to understand how habits work and how they can help to achieve goals.   Habits direct our focus and determine the energy we use on a daily basis. The energy we spend is then used to fuel our behaviors and decisions. This often goes unnoticed because our behaviors and decisions feel automatic.   But what if your habits could show you the way to being the person you want to be?   This week we're joined by Donna Zajonc. She is a master coach and educator. Donna has the ability to transform people's lives. She can help them release the inner blocks that keep them stuck. In this episode, she'll help us answer the question her new book poses: “Who do you want to be on the way to what you want?” What We Discuss with Donna: What is the Drama Triangle and how is it useful to people? What is The Empowerment Dynamic and how can one apply it for a more whole and healthy mindset? Why it is important to learn from reactive habits and what the myriad benefits of properly translating the lessons learned from observing them are What learning to be a coach has taught her about herself and how that transformed her own life first, and then the lives of her clients Why the titular question of the book is key to a personal development journey How coaching should always be used to augment psychology and psychiatry rather than replace them How judgments can offer direct insights into the spaces within the mind that need healing Like this show?

This week I spoke with Tristan Zajonc (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tristanzajonc/), the CEO and cofounder of Continual (https://continual.ai/), a company that provides an AI layer for enterprise companies or, as we'll get into in the podcast, the so-called 'modern data stack'. He previously worked at Cloudera as a CTO for machine learning and as the head of the data science platform there, and he holds a PhD in public policy from Harvard University. In our conversation we discussed the different levels of abstraction one can take when dealing with the MLOps problem. We spoke about all the different ways that machine learning can fail in production settings and of course we discussed the concept of the 'modern data stack' and what that means. Special Guest: Tristan Zajonc.

It began with a personal epiphany that David had about 30 years ago. David experienced three life changing events that seemed to invite a bitter and frightening existence. He also experienced a miracle along the way. Encouraged by Donna, and a helpful group of trusted friends and colleagues, David put his experience to paper and published his first book titled The Power of TED*.  At the time, David and Donna had no idea how much this little book would make such a big impact in the lives of so many—at home; at work; and in many of their most important relationships.   IN THIS WEEK’S EPISODE you’ll meet David Emerald and Donna Zajonc, both of whom are dear friends that have provided a tremendous level of impact and influence in my life. David is a gifted author and educator. Donna is a master coach and skilled facilitator. Together, as co-creators, they are committed to making the world a better place, not just in their immediate circles, but for generations to come . Through their joint work, and a network of likeminded individuals, they are pledging their time and talents to help people see for themselves the possibilities found in EMPOWERMENT.   If the level of drama in your life is a bit out of control, and you find yourself seeking a new level of clarity and contribution, you’ll want to join us for a truly remarkable episode!   Join us!

Onde quer que você colocar o seu coração, olhos e mente, este é o lugar onde o restante de você eventualmente acabará chegando. Nós nos tornamos naquilo que pensamos. Havia um artigo no New York Times chamado "Casais de longa data parecem iguais, constata estudo". Neste artigo, o Dr. Zajonc, psicólogo da Universidade de Michigan, propôs que “as pessoas, muitas vezes inconscientemente, imitam as expressões faciais de seus cônjuges em uma empatia silenciosa e, o compartilhar destas mesmas expressões, ao longo dos anos, acaba moldando o rosto deles da mesma forma." A ciência moderna finalmente descobriu uma revelação bíblica de muito tempo atrás - você se torna naquilo que você vê. “Mas todos nós, com rosto descoberto, refletindo como um espelho a glória do Senhor, somos transformados de glória em glória na mesma imagem, como pelo Espírito do Senhor.” (2 Coríntios 3:18). Aquilo em que colocamos nossa atenção, com nossos olhos, mentes e corações, tem essa incrível capacidade de nos transformar de dentro para fora! Quando eu era garoto, meu pai me ensinou a cortar a grama. Ele me instruiu a fixar meus olhos em um alvo bem na minha frente, do outro lado do quintal, e ir rumo a este alvo. Dessa forma, eu acabaria indo direto para o meu ponto de foco, e minhas listras no gramado ficariam retas como resultado. Aquilo em que você focar, aquilo em que você colocar sua atenção, vai crescer dentro de você. E naquilo em que você colocar a sua atenção, vai influenciar sua vida de uma maneira ou de outra. Se você se concentrar apenas nas más notícias que ouvir (ou seja, escuridão, atividade demoníaca e pensamento negativo em geral), sem dúvida você acabará cada vez mais em escravidão. Você verá demônios em todos os cantos, mesmo quando eles não estão lá. Uma das armas mais poderosas de Satanás é o medo. Hebreus 2:15 nos diz que o medo pode trazer escravidão. “Portanto, visto que os filhos são pessoas de carne e sangue, ele também participou dessa condição humana, para que, por sua morte, derrotasse aquele que tem o poder da morte, isto é, o diabo, e libertasse aqueles que durante toda a vida estiveram escravizados pelo medo da morte.” Satanás quer que você fique tão distraído com o que Ele está fazendo no mundo, que você acabe esquecendo o que deveria estar fazendo no mundo! Ele quer que você esqueça que é um convertido vitorioso sobre o reino das trevas! Veja bem, o medo paralisa as pessoas e fazem com que deixem de seguir o chamado de Deus em suas vidas. O diabo vive do medo, e o mal depende disso. O antídoto para o medo é o amor, que vem de Deus, é claro! Paulo explica perfeitamente: “Porque Deus não nos deu o espírito de medo, mas de poder, e de amor, e de moderação.” (2 Timóteo 1: 7). Se você está focado na escuridão, o medo governará sua vida. Se você se concentrar em Deus, o amor governará seu coração. Primeira João 4:18 nos diz: “No amor não há medo; pelo contrário o perfeito amor expulsa o medo, porque o medo supõe castigo. Aquele que tem medo não está aperfeiçoado no amor.” Como Smith Wigglesworth disse: “Se você tem um grande Deus, terá um pequeno diabo; mas se você tem um grande diabo, você terá um pequeno Deus.” Para manter a perspectiva correta, devemos manter nossa atenção em Jesus, autor e aperfeiçoador de nossa fé!

“See it sooner so you can choose more powerfully faster.” –Donna Zajonc   The Drama Triangle has long been part of human story. But it is no ordinary drama like the ones we see on TV or movies. It’s a scenario where all participants can have a rotational switch of roles. It gets chaotic as the story progresses rather than being solved. The downside is, the drama never gets resolved and the story never ends. Today’s episode will help families get out of this zone and reach their own happy ending.                                     Get the show notes, transcription and resources mentioned at http://thefamilyrecoverysolution.com/   Highlights: 04:07 Making Ideas Come to Life with David and Donna 05:58 The Drama Triangle 15:20 Flight, Fight, Freeze and Appease 24:03 Mindfulness Over Role Switching 29:36 Self-care 33:21 The Antidote for the Drama 40:00 Pseudo Relationships 46: 48 Do things Together

Introduction: David Emerald and Donna Zajonc are a husband and wife team and also business partners & founders of the Bainbridge Leadership Center. David is the author of the best selling book The Power of Ted and has recently published his second book called 3 vital questions, transforming workplace drama. Donna is a Master Certified Coach and together they teach, facilitate and speak to the power of TED and the 3 Vital Questions framework to transform workplace drama.  Podcast episode summary: This episode describes what it means to be human and how we succumb to drama.  Stephen Karpman described a social model of human interaction called the drama triangle. As humans in reaction to problems we often jump onto the drama triangle and assume one of three roles, the Victim, Persecutor or Rescuer. The antidote is another triangle, called The Empowerment Dynamic or TED, which speaks to our inherent capacity to be creative. Three roles comprise TED, the Creator, Challenger and Coach. David's next book Three Vital Questions is set in an organisational context and speaks to how we are thinking, relating and acting in our business, often informed by our way of being in our personal lives. TED can be described as a self-Leadership book and the 3 Vital Questions an answer to our Leadership and teamwork choices in work. David and Donna share the auspices of their books, the motivation behind the writing and share what each involves through the course of this episode. Each book is a very digestible fable that perhaps masks the inherent complexity and nuances behind the material. This is not a Pollyanna type answer to drama but a conscious consciousness and call for us to wake up to our patterns and begin to exercise choice.  Donna and David liken themselves to translators condensing complex human conditions into digestible and applicable frameworks David started by sharing our very essence is as creators. We have the capacity to be in choice about the outcomes we want, to think about how we are thinking and to raise our awareness about how we are relating to others and ourselves. We then create by taking baby steps.  The core of what David and Donna teach is shifting from a set of relations/roles and dynamic in the dreaded drama triangle or DDT for short when we are in the dance of Victim, Persecutor and Rescuer to a more empowering set of relations/roles or dynamic called TED.  In order to develop our inherent capacity as creators we can cultivate the antidote roles of Creator, Challenger and Coach called TED.  We have an internal DDT triangle and TED available to us as well as these roles in relation to others.  A good start is to self diagnose how we relate to ourselves and then learn to pause, stop and allow for the whisperer creator to emerge.  Do not be numb or seduced by the inherent simplicity of the models they belie a lot of unconscious unravelling and neurological wiring. The roles are dynamic but the triangles serve to depict a static depiction of dynamic reality. Once we can notice we have the capacity to shift and alter our operational models.  These roles can be enacted by organisations in the culture they create, between sub-groups or functions and of course on teams as well.  Donna shared a story of a team who once they understood the DDT and the choice to pursue TED they were able to first change the language on their website that was predominantly problem focused.  The work moving from DDT to TED is not simplistic or “Pollyannaesque” The work is often beset with problems. The trick is to first outline what outcome/purpose/mission the team wants to achieve and then enumerate the problems to be encountered in service of an outcome Problem-solving is still part of the work but the difference is we are not reacting to problems coming at us.  The important role of Coach on TED. People are very able to tell you what they don't want but less able to articulate what they desire or really want. A Leader or leader as a coach can learn to help people get on the balcony and not be subject to persistent reactivity.  Two different mindsets are explored in TED and 3 Vital Questions. The first is in a continuum of focus on problems. The second is an orientation towards outcomes supported by facilitation and enquiry to get at the creator essence in all of us.  Not an easy step for many Leaders to become leaders as coaches, especially when we have been brought up in organisations were expertise is prised.  3 Vital questions are shared in a fable. 3 questions are supported by a subtext of questions to bring the TED framework to life.  1st Question: Where are you putting your focus? The subtext is whether your focus is on problems that evoke an inner state of anxiety or whether you are tapping into your passion and care that is outcome oriented.  2nd Question: How are you relating, which speaks to David's first book TED. Are you relating from a problem mindset or an outcome mindset and from the archetype roles, which accompany, Victim, Persecutor and Rescuer or Creator, Challenger and Coach.  3rd Question: What actions are you taking with the subtext of in the moment problems or creative and generative actions in service of a bigger purpose.  The work in teams and in organisational life is about awakening our inner observer.  We have to be mindful that regression is part of the work-the question why can't we do this all of the time requires compassion and an understanding that we are fallible human beings.  Our neurology is organised in such a fashion that we are wired, not hard-wired, to keep ourselves safe. This explains why the DDT is live in all of us.  Our work is to upgrade our human operating system It is also worthy to note that the DDT roles are not always bad or unhelpful sometimes they are needed but the idea is not to stay in them.  Conscious consciousness is required along with practice.    Quotable Quotes: “We are always at a point of choice” “Our essence is as Creators” “When we pause, stop and breath, the whisper of Creator, Challenger and Coach can rise” “Value of model of DDT and TED is static depiction of a dynamic reality”  “Get to the balcony and not in subject to persistent reactivity” “Compassion is fuel for upgrading our Neurology”    Resources: the following includes the resources we alluded to over the course of our conversation   The Power of Ted, https://powerofted.com/,  3 Vital Questions, https://3vitalquestions.com Subscribe to Free Friday Newsletter on both websites Books available in Print through Amazon, Audible and as an e-book on Kindle also on Amazon

In 1955, aliens from the planet Clarion contacted a Chicago housewife to warn her that the end of the world was imminent. Psychologist Leon Festinger saw this as a unique opportunity to test a new theory about human cognition. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow him inside a UFO religion as it approaches the apocalypse. We'll also try to determine when exactly LBJ became president and puzzle over some wet streets. Intro: There's a hexagon of cloud at Saturn's north pole. You're not as unpopular as you think you are.

Pastor Vlad started new series about worship. Message Notes: When was the last time the presence of God quickened your pulse? We are called to WARFARE but created to WORSHIP! Everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.” Isaiah 43:7 God has same right to worship as you have for your phone! “Where is My honor?” Malachi 1:6 “Yours, O Lord is the greatness, the power and the glory” 1 Chronicles 29:11 “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor” Revelation 4:11 “Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory” Psalm 115:1 “I am the Lord; that is My name: and My glory I will not give to another” Isaiah 42:8 Withholding worship destroys us. Hebrew word “kabad” means weight, heaviness, honor, glory. Worship is weight we are not created to carry. Those who took worship: Lucifer became Satan Isaiah 14:13; Nabuchadnezzer became an animal Daniel 4; Herod got eaten by worms Acts 12:23; Those who knew God but did not worship Him became futile in mind and dark in heart Romans 1:21. We become what we behold. (See 2 Corinthians 3:18) To change what you’re becoming, change what you’re beholding! “Long-Married Couples Do Look Alike, Study Finds”. Dr. Zajonc, a psychologist at the University of Michigan says, “...people often unconsciously mimic the facial expressions of their spouse in a silent empathy and...over the years sharing the same expressions shapes the face similarity.” We become what we behold. Worship is being preoccupied with God! Idol worship. (when we worship something other than God Psalm 115:8) Idle worship. (when we worship God without our heart Matthew 15:8) Ideal worship. (when we worship God in spirit and in truth John 4:24) And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you.” Genesis 22:5 Abraham was ready to give his son out of obedience, God gave His Son out of love. God was not interested in taking Isaac out of Abraham’s life but taking Isaac out of Abraham’s heart. Worship is not songs and music but obedience. Obedience is about approaching God on His terms. In Christ we have justification Romans 3:24; no condemnation Romans 8:1; new creation 2 Corinthians 5:17; all spiritual blessings Ephesians 1:3; meeting of all needs Philippians 4:7 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:32 And said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son— blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.” Genesis 22:16-18 Pastor Vlad released a new book "BREAK FREE", available on iBooks, Amazon, Kindle, Audible and everywhere books are sold.

Today’s guest is Donna Zajonc, MCC, she joins us to explore the concepts and roles within  drama triangle and the importance of empowering rather than rescuing our coaching clients.  Donna starts out by explaining her journey from the drama of rescuing towards healthy dynamics in her own relationships. Listen in as she explains how to stop rescuing…

That first thirty seconds with your audience are critical. How do you start? Great persuaders craft and design their message. There is no room to wing it. Your opening is where your audience formulates and settles into their impressions of you. Think of your opening or introduction as comprising no more than 10 percent of your full presentation. Budgeting your speech in this manner forces you to organize your time so that you know exactly what you’re going to say and how you’re going to say it.   As you move from the opening of your presentation to the main body, it is helpful to remember the acronym TESS, which stands for testimonials, examples, statistics, and stories. Top persuaders tend to incorporate each of these elements into their presentations. Our research shows that when speaking to an audience, each point of TESS will resonate with different audience members. On average, TESS resonates as follows: Testimonials                12% Examples                     23% Statistics                      18% Stories                         47%                   Testimonials. A testimonial is a person’s statement or declaration of what they believe and assert to be true. In your presentation, it can be your own, or it can come from a third party. Testimonials are a source of social validation—people assume that if others believe in it, then they should too. Great persuaders know how to use testimonials when their credibility is low. Make sure your testimonials are believable and unbiased and that they are qualified for your audience.              Examples. An example is an explanation or model that demonstrates or illustrates your point. Instead of just spouting off facts, examples make your points come alive. Examples reinforce your ideas and make them vivid and real in the mind of your audience. Examples can be taken from research studies, from articles you’ve read—and they can be personal anecdotes.             Statistics. In a consumer climate that is increasingly skeptical, I recommend using statistics sparingly. Everyone knows that you can “cook the books” and find statistics to prove almost anything; your audience wants credible statistics. Statistics resonate with the logical mind, and when convincing, they are very persuasive. In particular, the analytical minds in your audience will love you and want to know the source. Most statistics need to be explained and often work best with visual aids.             Stories. The most powerful of the four elements of TESS are stories. They draw your audience in while helping them understand and appreciate your message. I’m sure you can think of a time when you were in an audience, not paying much attention to the speaker. You were probably off in your own world, when all of a sudden, you perked up and started to listen because the speaker started telling a story. When we hear a story, we automatically tune in and want to know what happens next.

Today I'm speaking with McKenzie Zanjonc.  McKenzie has a Masters in Nutrition and a Counseling Degree in Health Psychology and helps trade in their food and body struggle for a more meaningful life through her practice, Inner Nutritionist. You can find more about McKenzie at www.innernutritionist.com. In this episode McKenzie talks about how to tap into our “Inner Dieter” and our “Inner Nutritionist” to begin to heal our relationship with food. Here's a quick summary of the distinction between the two, but definitely give the episode a listen for the full scoop. The Inner Dieter is full for “shoulds” and “shouldn'ts”, is constantly judging food as good or bad, and is always in “fight or flight” mode. The Inner Dieter is full of unrealistic goals (which can especially creep up around New Years!). The Inner Dieter is sneaky. It can also show up as a Diet Rebel. The voice that is telling you to “have a cheat day” or “go off the wagon.” In those moments you might feel like you are not listening to your Inner Dieter, but in fact, you are. The best way to distinguish your Inner Nutritionist from your Inner Dieter is that in Inner Nutritionist is in the NOW. It is not rolling up past dieting experiences or planning the future. It requires a pause, a checking in. It requires curiosity: What's my hunger? What's my fullness? Do I want hot food? Cold food? Something resh? The Inner Nutritionist is your ally and it's main concern is that you are able to nourish yourself in the present moment. McKenzie believes the first step to tapping into your Inner Nutritionist is simply being aware of this. Give the full episode a listen to hear more about how to be more satisfied around food by releasing control and listening to your Inner Nutritionist.

Although a substantial literature is developing regarding the effects of stress on decision-making (cf. Mather & Lighthall, 2012), the literature on stress and social decision-making is still in the beginning stage. The present research extends this new literature by examining the mediating and moderating factors of the effect of stress on social decision-making. Furthermore, a novel aspect of the research is its effort to connect the information-processing and functional perspectives, with regard to the acute stress response. Dual-mode theories state that emotional processing, relative to cognitive processing, occurs early during information processing (Murphy & Zajonc, 1993) and is associated with stimulus-driven behaviors (Mischel & Metcalfe, 1999). Therefore, an intensification of emotional processing and inhibition of cognitive control processes may lead to an earlier and more stimulus-driven initiation of behavioral responses than under normal circumstances. Moreover, such quick, automatic behavioral responses to environmental stimuli may be particularly useful during an acute stress response in that such responses could help prevent disturbances to homeostasis (Nesse, 2005). In order to facilitate such quick, automatic behavioral responses, emotional processing may be intensified and cognitive processing inhibited, during an acute stress response. In support of this notion, empirical findings show that acute stress increases emotion-related phenomena, such as reward salience (cf. Mather & Lighthall, 2012) and emotional learning (Luethi, Meier, & Sandi, 2008). However, in a social decision-making context, such enhancement of emotional processing may negatively affect the social interactions, such that negative emotions from perceived unfairness may be amplified when people are undergoing an acute stress response. More specifically, in the context of an Ultimatum Game, people who are stressed may reject more unfair offers than people under normal conditions. This research tested this main hypothesis, and examined emotions and trait emotion regulation tendencies as mediating and moderating factors, respectively, of the relationship between acute stress and Ultimatum Game rejections. These arguments are elaborated in Chapters 1, 2, and 3 of this dissertation. In two experiments, participants played the Ultimatum Game as the Responder after completing a stress or control task. The Cold Pressor Test was used as the stress induction method. Before and after the Ultimatum Game, participants completed state emotion ratings as well as trait emotion regulation questionnaires. Results from Experiment 1 showed a successful stress induction, indicated by higher cortisol levels in the stress, relative to control, group. Moreover, Experiment 1 revealed a significant Stress x Amount interaction, with stress having an effect on rejections of unfair offers, in comparison to fair offers. However, the emotion and emotion regulation results did not indicate the expected pattern, with emotions being uncorrelated with fair, nor unfair offers, and emotion regulation being associated with reduced rejections of fair, but not unfair, offers. In Experiment 2, an experimental manipulation designed to influence negative emotions, namely partner type, was employed. Results did not replicate the results of the first experiment, but unexpected results were found involving partner type and negative emotions, namely that participants who played with human partners, relative to those who played with computer partners, rejected more unfair offers and that negative emotions were positively correlated with rejections of fair and unfair offers. The experiments and their results are described in Chapter 4. It is difficult to draw firm conclusions from these results, but they do offer a starting point for interesting future research questions. Chapter 5 discusses some implications as well as limitations of the present research.

El científico Arthur Zajonc llenó una caja de luz, de modo que nada de la luz se reflejara en ninguna de las superficies internas. Dentro de la caja había luz, y solo luz. Ahora, si miraras adentro de la caja, ¿qué verías? ¿A qué se parece la luz, en sí misma y por sí misma?Verías pura oscuridad, la oscuridad del espacio vacío. A menos que se refleje sobre alguna cosa, o que mires directamente a la fuente de luz, la luz es invisible.Zajonc entonces tomó una varilla y la movió en la oscuridad de la caja. Solo la varilla estaba iluminada del lado por el cual entraba la luz. Era como si una luz delgada brillara únicamente sobre la varilla. Aun cuando la luz estaba en todas partes dentro de la caja, solo cuando se reflejaba sobre una superficie (la varilla) se hacía visible. De otro modo, la luz era oscuridad.La luz del sol sobre la Tierra hace que el cielo se vuelva azul, gris o rojo, dependiendo del tiempo y de la hora del día. En la luna, si miraras hacia arriba, sin importar cuánta luz del sol cae sobre ella, verías pura oscuridad, la del espacio vacío. Y eso es porque la luna no tiene atmósfera, ni aire, ni humedad, de ninguno de los gases o vapores que, al reflejar la luz del sol, le dan al cielo los colores que vemos desde la Tierra.¿Qué queremos decir? La luz, a menos que se refleje en algo, parece pura oscuridad.PREGUNTAS PARA DIALOGAR:1. ¿Qué lecciones espirituales sobre el amor podemos obtener de lo mencionado acerca de la naturaleza de la luz? Ver 1 Juan 1:5; 2:9-11; 4:8; Lucas 11:35.2. Piensa en aquello de amar a nuestros enemigos. Lucas 23:34 dice: "Y Jesús decía: Padre, perdónalos, porque no saben lo que hacen". ¿Oras tú por tus enemigos? Es difícil tener la actitud correcta hacia los que nos odian, nos maltratan o nos persiguen. Pero el orar por nuestros enemigos cambia nuestro corazón y comenzamos a verlos como personas que necesitan la gracia de Dios. Eso nos ayudará a bendecirlos cuando nos maldigan y nos odien. ¿Cómo podemos cultivar la actitud de orar por aquellos a quienes desearíamos maldecir?3. Una persona vio a alguien con un vehículo descompuesto. Se detuvo y se ofreció a ayudarlo, pero lo golpearon y lo asaltaron. Luego dijo: "Nunca más me detendré para ser un buen samaritano". ¿Cómo le responderías a esa persona?4. ¿Has conocido a alguien que parece que personifica al amor? ¿Qué hacía? ¿De qué modo manifestaba amor? ¿Cuánto sufrimiento piensas que soportó a fin de mostrar el amor que daba?Resumen:El amor proviene de Dios. Es inextinguible. Trae paz, confianza y libertad a nuestras vidas. Cuando Dios lo demuestra a través de nosotros, bendice y enriquece inmensamente otras vidas. Los cristianos amantes y amables tienen un valor enorme.
