...I never thought that this could happen. I am a tennis coach. This past Wednesday I was fired from my job. They told me that I was acting nonchalant. I pride myself in being enthusiastic and excited about my job. I was very hurt by that comment. I think I need to expunge that part of my life and start fresh. At first I did not accede to my boss. I felt that it was unfair what he was doing to me. I have been working there for 10 years. When I went home I took a shower to wash off the pungent smell of a sweaty days work in the hot sun. That was the last day I ever played tennis. It was to painful going back to it. I love tennis and I always will but I have to move on. I dispersed my resume to many different places. My resume was comprised of tennis...

...After trying hard to come up with 21 skills needed for an instructional coach, I could only come with a dozen. It can be said that most of them were on the list that later was revised, implying that I am short on my own list. It has to be stated that I am a relative new teacher, with just four years of experience in elementary level, where I plan to stay for my whole career in teaching. Being this said, the self-assessment results on the on the rating system was not surprisingly at the “Average Range”, recommending that the need for finding ways to strengthen weak areas and look for growth opportunities to increase and improve skills has to be considered. The important skills to have for this profession on my list were to develop strong and...

...saying I am not trying to stir up crap and feel that the head coach has made a good impact on game play, leading to a great season. My concern is with other part of being a coach (and what we have had problems with that lead to other staff being removed) that someone needs to mentor him on, which is the part of being a role model, mentor and leading young men to become good student athletes and citizens. Just a couple items… I know I sent you a text about it, but just to provide more fidelity. Originally, Trevor was going to try and meet coach Wolkoff on Saturday prior to practice, but practice was cancelled. So Trevor sent coach a text Friday about meeting with...

It speaks for my writing that I was agitable to misusers of “there, their, and they’re” to say the least. The only criticism on writing prompts I would get were technical ones, like using apostrophes incorrectly or writing the number rather than spelling it. Yet, marked in red at the top of my first paper junior year was something I had not expected, nor seen before-- “Where is your voice?” My voice? I was not mute, so what kind of question was that? I thought about it all class period and looked for the flaw within the paper. All i had to work with was that obscure note and I thought about the question again and again-- I even began...

...Unit 4 and 5 Evaluate the purpose of different types of career guidance interviews Evaluate methodologies to explore the career guidance and development needs of clients Corney and Watts (1998) define information and advice as; ‘providing an immediate response to the needs of clients who present an enquiry or reveal a need that requires more than a straightforward information response. Advice is usually limited to helping with the interpretation of information and with meeting needs already clearly understood by the client…’ Advice and information is therefore concerned with meeting client’s presenting issues relating to information. The OECD (2004:10) definition of guidance is; ‘Career guidance refers to services and activities intended to assist individuals of any age, and at any point of their lives, to make educational, training and occupational choices and to manage their careers’. This reflects the variety of activities that may take place in supporting clients to move forward. Guidance is about helping clients to understand their own needs, set and review career goals, understand any barriers and to produce action plans. Hambly (2008; 16) refers to the iceberg analogy to explain the process of guidance. The top of the iceberg represents the clarifying and meeting of presented needs which is advice and information and the bottom of the iceberg is about exploring additional needs which is guidance. The guidance element may be about exploring high leverage...

...Jim Thorpe’s athletic ability is recognized, but his fight for native American representation in film is often overlooked. Thorpe’s athletic career began in college in 1907 when he was discovered by renowned coach Glenn S. "Pop" Warner. He played football for Carlisle’s varsity football team and became an All-American player. From 1908 to 1912. His athletic prowess didn’t stop at football, as it carried over to the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. His success in the Olympics was possibly the highlight of his career as he won gold medals for the pentathlon and decathlon. He earned the title of “the greatest athlete in the world" from King Gustav V of Sweden. His gold medals would later be stripped from him due to his participation in minor league baseball, making him not an amateur athlete and violating the rules at the time. Many people see this as a great injustice. Despite the challenge, his athletic career continued, going pro in both baseball and football. He found more success in football than baseball, however it’s still impressive that he was able to go pro in baseball. He...

...the cognitive tools required for academic and professional success. On January 19th, 2014, the day of the NFL NFC Championshp, the stakes could not have been greater; Richard Sherman was just thirty seconds away from his first Super Bowl. Sherman’s Seattle Seahawks led the San Francisco 49ers 23-17, leaving the 49ers with a final opportunity to win the game. The 49ers ran a play for Michael Crabtree, whom Sherman was guarding, who was making his way into the end zone. Sherman, the NFL’s best cornerback, leaped with Crabtree and tipped the pass towards a teammate in a historic play that ended the 49ers season and, in turn, catapulted both Richard Sherman and the Seattle Seahawks into the history books. Sherman, who has had publicized personal problems with Crabtree in the past, made an emphatic choking motion before sprinting over to a deflated Crabtree and extending his hand in a sarcastic attempt to wish his opponent a good game, to which Crabtree responded to by shoving Sherman away. What happened next...

...LINES COMPOSED UPON WESTMINSTER BRIDGE by William Wordsworth Earth has not anything to show more fair: Dull would he be of soul who could pass by A sight so touching in its majesty: This City now doth like a garment wear The beauty of the morning; silent , bare, 5 Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie Open unto the fields, and to the sky, All bright and glittering in the smokeless air. Never did the sun more beautifully steep In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill; 10 Ne’er saw I, never felt a calm so deep! The river glideth at his own sweet will: Dear God! the very houses seem asleep; And all that mighty heart is lying still! Earth has not anything to show more fair: * While crossing over the Westminster Bridge, the speaker makes a bold statement: he has found the most beautiful scene on the planet. * Of course, though, he's exaggerating. He really means something like, "At this particular moment, I can't imagine anywhere being more beautiful than the place I'm standing." It's almost more a reflection of his mood than of the outside world. Dull would he be of soul who could pass by A sight so touching in its majesty: * He says that anyone who didn't stop, who just passed by with a glance, would be "dull...of soul." * The person who could just pass by has been jaded and worn down by experience to the point of dullness. He's also boring, which is another meaning of the word "dull." * The sight from the bridge is...

The pace of change is unpredictable fast, partly driven by the advances in information technology and the pervading influence of globalisation – has become relentless.

...Emotional Intelligence Leadership Success. Seth Ramachandiran Theoretical Paper submitted for the OB Class. Abstract: The theoretical paper defines and analyses the impacts of the Emotional Intelligence on leadership and success. Emotional intelligence, Leadership and success are very subjective terms and can be interpreted in various ways.. Hence an attempt is made to define them and set the boundaries of the analysis. Firstly the foundations of emotional intelligence are established and boundaries of it is defined. The scope of leadership and success is defined in the organisations in OECD countries. Couple of examples from India and China is added to differentiate how diverse the leadership and success in these countries compared to US corporations. The leadership excludes the political leadership as such and ability to win votes even though the shared vision, hope (President Obama’s Hope) and mass communication is as much an application of EI as any corporate leaders. Some of the practical aspect of the EI is added in this article to make it more direct and meaningful to practical organisational life. The applications of Intentional Change Theory, shared visions are discussed as useful tool. At an individual level the Positive Emotional Attractor and Negative Emotional Attractor are established. Scientific basis of EI measurement and the research from neurological study is presented to complete the analysis. How the meditation, mindfulness and Yoga fit into...

Business leaders have a lot of options when it comes to evaluating their staff. Many choose the easiest path and more traditional way where the superior will evaluate subordinates either by metrics, behaviors or a combination of both. There are many variations of the performance evaluation and they are conducting at varying times of the year depending on industry and company. Since the late 90’s, the 360 degree review has started to gain popularity, as a matter of fact In 2002, 360 degree feedback were used by 90% of Fortune 500 Companies (Linman, 2006). Before we can accurately assess if the 360 degree review is effective we must understand what it is and how it works. What is a 360 degree review? 360 degree feedback is an evaluation method that incorporates feedback from the worker, his/her peers, superiors, subordinates and customers (Linman, 2006). This multi rater feedback tool originated in the 1950s and 1960s when organizations saw a need to improve processes and communications. The point of the evaluation is to receive feedback from many sources in an effort to get as accurate information as possible based on the working relationship to the individual (Thompson, 2012). The result should be that the employee receives enough feedback to help them...
