Dr. Ricky E. Higby’s Post

In this article Adam Grant discusses "Otherism". "Otherism" generates positive emotion. Positive emotion is the fuel for resilience, growing through adversity. As a military, we value service and go to great lengths to encourage our teams to serve & volunteer. Unfortunately, oftentimes the intent and/or motivator is that it will look good on our eval, a box check, disguised as growth or altruism. What if we consider the resilience impact on volunteering & giving, by shifting the intent? What if our primary reasoning for giving WAS altruism? Serving, as a way to make others better which makes the individual better. It not only makes one better, but increases their ability to operate with excellence, even on the bad days (increases resilience). Sure, it also looks good on your quarterly package, but that is a mere tertiary effect and not the primary motivator. .... Something to think about.

It's been said that, with competence comes confidence. This Drexel University study takes that concept even further, bringing in the aspect of 'Flow'. "Entering 'FLOW' lies in a combination of extensive experience and the ability to 'let go'". (yes, go ahead and que Frozen. Sorry, about that. :). ) https://lnkd.in/e-6qwADd https://lnkd.in/eHfkMZzC

Pedagogy or Andragogy, the premise is the same, think outside the box in the classroom. Bounce and blend... when we know our students, we can speak their language. Have Fun. Go ahead, stand on the desk, it'll be alright. :) #BeAsBuilt

Christmas Wonder. With wonder comes perspective. With perspective comes gratitude. With gratitude comes well-being & flourishing; increased aperture & appreciation. A better self, for self. A better self for others. #BeAsBuilt
