A Schools Testimonial

Check out what I thought of Janice

The Staff at Naenae Primary School in Lower Hutt were motivated and encouraged with a one day workshop lead by Janice Davies on 15^th October 2012.

The presentation was called ‘Becoming OUR Best’.

She shared on a range of topics which included: Change, attitude, personalities, work relationships, communication, confidence, appreciation of yourself and your team, with the overall theme of the day, about team building and success.

Through Janice’s entertaining and interactive presentation staff at Naenae Primary had the opportunity to reflect on the many components of positive teams.  We were able to look at our individual views on life and the influences we have on others but especially ourselves.

Janice provided a range of activities that enabled the staff to identify different personality traits and to use these as positives for build a stronger team. 

All staff came away with very useful strategies that will assist them in their own lives and within our organisation. 

As Janice puts it, ‘Your positive Attitude and High Self Esteem leads to Your Success”.

This worthwhile and invigorating day energised and motivated all the staff.  The positive effects are ongoing and radiating throughout.  I highly recommend Janice, The lady with Nice in her name, to any school or organisation who is looking at promoting a positive and encouraging approach to life.

13 Benefits of learning how to deal with difficult people.

 
As challenging as this is to comprehend, difficult people are a learning curve for you. They will annoy and challenge you until you change your thoughts, feelings and actions so you learn how to deal with them, albeit by using new words or at the other end of the scale, removing yourself from the relationship by finding another job or relationship.
 
Here are some benefits about why you should learn to deal with them.
 
1. You learn that it is not you, who is the problem.
 

2. You understand the situation and why it is occurring.
 
3. You confirm you are in a negative relationship with the difficult person.
 
4. You understand why you could be fifty percent of the problem, (this is only because there is two people involved).
 
5. You realise that the change you want is completely in your hands (or head).
 
6. You learn how to change your thoughts.
 
7. You learn how to communicate assertively
 
8. You learn how to say no when you wanted to say yes.
 
9. You learn how to improve your self esteem.
 
10. You learn new skills to empower yourself.
 
11. You sleep better and feel happier.
 
12. You learn never to let this happen to you again.
 
13. You become empowered.

Being angry and stressed doesn't solve the problem, it just leaves you with sleepless nights.

 

Your best state of living is when you are empowered!

Creative People Sought By Managers - New Research about Creators

“SOCIAL REJECTION MAY VALIDATE CREATIVE MINDS”

Have you ever felt rejected by your peers because they thought you were weird or different? A new study by a Johns Hopkins University business professor finds that social rejection can inspire imaginative thinking, particularly in individuals with a high sense of self-esteem.

“To individuals who already feel separate from the crowd, social rejection can be a form of validation,” say Professor Sharon Kim. “Rejection confirms for independent people what they already feel about themselves—that they’re not like others. For such people, that distinction is a positive one leading to greater creativity.”

 

Social rejection normally has the opposite effect on people who value the importance of fitting in and belonging to a group. Her study found that those with high self-esteem and feelings of independence are not adversely affected by social rejection. More business managers are looking for individuals who are creative thinkers, those who might have an unconventional personality making them subject to social rejection. Such rejection can actually recharge the creativity an independent person. Her study is reported in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2012.

How to Move from Fear to Faith - Overview.

At the beginning of the 2000 millennium many people around the globe were anticipating ‘some changes’. Like many around the world, I wondered what we would encounter. The media shared a variety of ideas and globally I think we all anticipated more ‘good’ coming to us personally and into our world. Although there was no ‘big bang’ I believe there have been many subtle changes experienced.

 You and every single person on the globe has been on a journey since then. In this ebook I’m sharing my journey and invited colleagues who each had individual paths to follow but are working for the good of human-kind. Each of us has our own values, beliefs, spiritual views and encountered different experiences and lessons. However, we have a commonality in that we all became more authentic and on our individual paths.

 This two thousand millennium is in fact the third millennium. Three also has a significant spiritual meaning and there is the astronomical calendar which also differs in time to our common western calendar. I am sharing this so you understand there are different times/zones/aspects and calendars in life and you need to decide what ‘feels’ right for you to follow. Alternatively you could be like me and I follow a bit them all.  

 New Zealand’s time zone affords us the privilege to greet each and every day first in the world we were the first country in the world to ‘welcome’ the year 2000. I chose to attend a public event at the Auckland domain with a group of friends. The light show and firework display was going to be first to be broadcast around the world by the media.

 However New Zealand is a country of inclement weather, where often you can experience four seasons in one day. On the new millennium eve, showers were forecast for the evening. As we sat in the park, the sky darkened and a mist rolled in over the city and blocked out the stars. Our fireworks celebration was lost in the haze and our media coverage to the rest of the world… was lost in the mist.  Although a disappointing start, we still sang and danced to welcome in the year 2000 – the new millennium!

 Afterwards I watched other celebrations on television and I was a little sad for New Zealand. However a friend, Ann Andrews had a different opinion on the situation saying it was similar to the book the Mists of Avalon. In that book the mist hid and protected the spiritual kingdom. Therefore she suggested that because New Zealand was a spiritual and creative country we were being sheltered. The mist descended and blocked New Zealand out until the ‘time was right’. And on that note, whenever the time is right - I do not know, but maybe it’s now.

My Workplace Relationship Challenge

I was told to be his friend!! 

 

A bully had come to our workplace six months earlier. He bullied his students, his wife over the phone and was working his way through the tutors. He was over six foot high, brushed back his hair with brylcream (like my dad did twenty years ago) had a red face (like a dragon) and after his morning swim before he came to work, would spend the next hour sniffing! He marched around thinking he was fabulous, because he 'got his way' but in reality he was a loser.

I had heard about him before he arrived in our college. However, one day it was my turn, because he didn't get my job. After looming over me while I sat at my desk, he verbally abused me for five minutes. I attempted to stand my ground, but was no match for this man.

After he left and took 3 days off work to recover (I was back at work the next day), my big boss told me - to be his friend. He said we were similar...(eek) both divorced, had two young daughters and worked in the travel industry. I could have lunch with him and be his friend.

This time I could stand my ground. I had learnt about relationships the lose/lose and the win/win...and I did not have to suffer anymore by being his friend. I had the confidence to communicate this however I realised I still had to work with him, so would discuss work topics only. A few weeks later he left to terrorise another workplace.

However the trick is to learn how to have positive rather than negative relationships. The next trick is to realise they are NOT going to change...and the person who must learn is you. Only with your new found knowledge and confidence can you understand and seek solutions that work for you.
