Speak!
I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand! Confucius These wise words were written thousands of years ago and yet they ring just as true in our 21st century lives and evolving business endeavors. We best equip those we lead with use-it-now information, practical tools, and applicable actions. We equip them best when we facilitate them in getting their hands dirty or in actually getting up and using what we provide. For example: In our presentation skills training or executive speech coaching programs, the quicker we get our students or clients up speaking, the better they learn and accelerate their learning curve. Consider the hundreds of thousands of Toastmasters around the world who nervously start speaking and find that their confidence and competence increases in direct relation to how often they are in front of an audience and in how well they apply the feedback received. Becoming an effective presenter is not learned exclusively from a book or by observing others in action. It is essentially a learn-as-you-do project. Kind of like life! ���� My challenge for you is to revisit what you are doing for your own learning curve, as well as those you work with. See where you can adapt it to add more hands-on experience. How can you make it more experiential to anchor the learning and enhance the skill?
Write On!
"Effective writing communicates the message in a way that makes it easier for the reader to relate and react positively to what they (reader) understand. Effective writing is helped or enhanced by 'charting-a-course' to convey your message with impact." Bob 'Idea Man' Hooey (Think before you Ink!) Publishing a book can help you expand and enhance your business. It can help differentiate you from your competition! This can work in any industry! Perhaps you've been told you need to write a book; to create physical or online products. This, 'they' tell you, will help you succeed, make lots of money, and even make you famous. Perhaps? Perhaps NOT! We can help you explore whether this is a worthwhile investment of your time, expertise, and money. Ever dreamed of being a best-selling author? Well, first you must write the book! We can help with that, and maybe the best-selling part too. Depending on where you are in your writing journey you can have your new book published in as little as 30-90 days. Whether you are working on an article, a book, or creating one of a multitude of other Business Enhancement Success Tools (see Bob's BEST(TM)) starting with the right questions provides a solid foundation for your success. We want you to be inspired and educated so you can move forward with your publishing project and see it successfully brought into the world. We drew from those events in creating this little guidebook, just for you!Some areas to consider as you begin the writing process (consulting/coaching is available) 1. Selecting the best topic or theme to write about for a book. What do you 'actually' know and love? Why not ask Canada's Ideaman for help in creating this for your work? 2. Creating an 'effective' title and tag line or sub-title. Taglines are sometimes even more important than a title. (See How to craft effective book titles and subtitles) 3. Getting the help, you 'need' to bring your book into reality: editors, proofreaders, graphic artists, etc. Ask Irene! 4. What to say about yourself - creating effective author bio's: Strategic sizzle sells. 5. Getting forewords, endorsements, reviews, and testimonials and why you need them. Endorsements are valuable! 6. Marketing your book online, choosing keywords that help you get noticed. Getting your friends to help create excitement and buzz. Returning the favour! We can even assist you in creating a customized webpage to showcase and sell your book. Again, Ask Irene! 7. Starting with the creative add-on business/product spin offs in mind - think in advance about other products that can be built around or from your book. 8. Why you should consider doing an e-pub, Smashwords, and kindle version as well as a print version at the same time. 9. Launching successfully - tips and techniques, and detours (leverage our experience and expertise). 10. How to run a best seller campaign - with a little help from your friends.

EPSO-EU Tests Keys
We favor the variety and relevance of the exercises in relation to the actual tests rather than a large number of exercises which do not always correspond to what we encounter in an exam situation. The first concern is efficiency. Generally speaking, whatever the type of test, it is much less complicated than you imagine. We have decided to give the explanations and the answer to an item immediately after it or in the same chapter. This makes it easier to understand the mechanisms by avoiding having to go back and forth between the 1st and 2nd parts of the book, as is the case in the vast majority of books devoted to selection tests.

Exploring Possibilities! Journeying Through Career-Related Learning in Grades 4-6
Career development is a lifelong process that begins in the early years. In elementary school, engaging in career conversations is not about getting children to make decisions about what job they will have in the future. Rather, it is a time when we ask our young learners to begin the process of investigating themselves, find out more about their interests and aptitudes, and consider what type of life they feel they might want to lead. This means thinking about questions like: what do I like to do most? what do I think I am good at? and how can I best help others? This is why we should be thinking about career in elementary schools, especially when we acknowledge that young children are developing skills and experiences that build their capacity for successful learning and positive, harmonious career and life outcomes. Nevertheless, many elementary school teachers may not be fully aware of how their day-to-day teaching activities connects to their important role in developing these critical career-related skills and attributes with their students. Consequently, this teaching toolkit helps to shine a light on the value and many ways of undertaking career-related learning in elementary schools. This teaching toolkit is rooted in the belief in public education as a public good and in the instrumental role of elementary education in helping children "discover their passions and aspirations, develop their potential, and find their place in society." This toolkit is also underpinned by published literature and data collected from educators who were asked to shed light on how they approach the development of foundational skills in their practice and parents, students, and industry partners who were asked to share their perceptions of and what they know about career-related learning in Canadian elementary schools.     The aim of the toolkit is to help all educators understand and showcase the various ways that their teaching practices introduce and develop foundational career-related skills, such as healthy habits of mind and being, social and emotional skills, self-confidence, and self-efficacy. The hope is that this teaching toolkit will inspire and stimulate educators to go on a journey to explore the possibilities with career-related teaching and learning for children in grades 4-6 (typically ages 9-12).  The toolkit is authored by an international project team from Canada and the UK led by Dr. Lorraine Godden, Senior Partner, Ironwood Consulting and Consultant and Instructor II at Carleton University; Nicki Moore, Senior Researcher iCeGS, University of Derby; Dr. Heather Nesbitt, Consultant and Adjunct Assistant Professor at Queen's University; and Dr. Stefan Merchant, Consultant and Adjunct Assistant Professor at Queen's University.

Never Not Working
The always-on, hustle culture creates an unhealthy, counterproductive relationship with work.Many workers believe that to compete with other top talent, they must embrace a culture that rewards long hours and a constant connection to work. Businesses and society endorse busyness, overwork, and extreme commitment as the most valued traits in workers. Sometimes that endorsement is explicit, as when Elon Musk told X/Twitter employees to work "long hours at high intensity" or get fired. More often it's an implicit contract, a buildup of organizational and cultural norms and the adoption of new technologies that make it easy to tether people to work.Either way, this workaholic behavior is unhealthy and counterproductive for workers and for organizations. It's time to fight back. Malissa Clark--a preeminent researcher on the culture of overwork--shows you how in Never Not Working. Clark examines overwork and burnout, not just from the individual's perspective but from an organizational perspective too. She delivers a comprehensive, nuanced definition of workaholism, busting myths along the way--working long hours, it turns out, doesn't automatically make you a workaholic. She also helps you assess whether you're falling prey to the phenomenon and whether you're creating workaholics in your organization.Clark shows you how to escape the trap of putting work at the center of everything and thus losing your well-being--or your company's performance--in the process. Deeply researched and written for everyone from leaders to individual contributors, Never Not Working is the essential guide to identifying workaholism in yourself and others and starting on the road to recovery.
