Introvert Barriers Self-Promotion the Non-Icky Way - Introvert Whisperer
Introvert Whisperer / Introvert Barriers Self-Promotion the Non-Icky Way - Introvert Whisperer Introvert Barriers: Self-Promotion the Non-Icky Way As an Introverted Leader, self-promotion can be a hard skill for many to master; for the introvert with ambition, it can be a serious problem. Have you given any thought to this issue? The issue is that if your intention is to be in management or even simply promoted, if you canât self-promote you can almost guarantee yourself a lackluster career. Is self-promotion a problem for you? Are you at risk for this barrier to career success? If you are aware that this is a problem for you, here are some things you should know and things you can do to develop your skill: Learn the Difference Between Bragging and Self-Promotion Some people think that bragging is self-promotion, therefore they loathe it and donât want to consider doing it. There is a huge difference, which primarily is that bragging is ego based and mindless, pointless commentary meant to try to impress. Self-promotion is useful, focused information shared with people who need to know the information about you, which can help you advance. Thereâs a big difference, and once you know it, it will help your introverted soul feel much better about what you are embarking on. (DTM thought: Self promotion doesnât have to obnoxious to be effective AND yes, I had to learn this too!) Only You Can Advance Your Cause Please, stop thinking that great work will speak for itself! It wonât you have to. (Tweet this!) Itâs important to perform well, and once you do, you must assume that the decision-makers donât yet know. Your job is to inform them. You can do informal office drop inâs all the way to presentations on your projects. I usually suggest to my clients that If you donât know what you would say, follow this outline: Top three accomplishments in the past month/quarter Top three challenges you overcame and how you did it Top one or two things on your immediate horizon Start Small Introverts tend to overwhelm easily, and if you start out thinking you are going to do it all tomorrow, you risk a full system overload. Pick one thing, like writing a status report to your boss and anyone else with whom you should communicate. Get in the swing of that before adding anything else. Look for Opportunities Introverts tend to be highly focused on what weâre working on. You may also think you have nothing noteworthy to say that will also be self-promotion. Understand that the weak underbelly of all organizations is communication. You simply canât communicate enough, which means that what you are working on or have accomplished may actually be needed by and interesting to others. Donât go into massive detail, but look for opportunities to let people know what youâve been up to. Make This a Project We love tasks. We love projects. Make your self-promotion into a project with specific actions you will take and when you will take them. Look for things you do that you think work well and that you feel good doing. Put more of those on your project plan. Stay focused on this until it becomes second nature to you. Get a New Attitude We self-promote all the time. If we didnât we would never get a job, find a significant other or ever get promoted. Think of self-promotion as sharing information that others will find valuable about â" YOU. (I might also point out that some people get a little self-righteous about the need to self-promote but trust me, you have to do it.) Self-promotion is vital to your career success. It would have been great if it were a skill you learned in school, but it wasnât. It is a skill that you need to learn now, and retain for the rest of your life. Go to top Whatâs your biggest obstacle when it comes to self-promotion? Share in the comments! Image: Flickr Let me emphasize that Self-Promotion doesnât have to be obnoxious to be effective. But, if you donât Self-Promote you, who will? If you ever want to get ahead, you have to learn how to Self-Promote.

Learn English Past Simple Regular and Irregular with My favorite band
Learn English Past Simple Regular and Irregular with My favorite band One of my favorite bands in the United States is named Cloud Cult. They just played a concert close to my hometown in the U.S., but because Im still living in Argentina I was bummed (disappointed) I wasnt able to attend. So, after listening to some of their songs I decided to do a lesson on past simple regular and irregular verbs for everyone. Enjoy!English Past Simple Regular VerbsWith regular verbs we add ed to the end of the verb. For example walk changes to walked. (Verb + ed)Spelling changes; If the word ends in an E such as: SMILE we only add D to the end: SMILED. If the word has a consonant then a Y such as: TRY we change the Y to an I and add ED. So TRY changes to TRIED. If the word end in one vowel (a,e,i,o,u) followed by a consonant such as: TAP then we double the consonant. So TAP changes to TAPPED.Pronunciation of the ED ending to indicate past sounds like a T. DO NOT ADD AN EXTRA SYLLABLE. (It sounds like this: playt)Pronunciation of ED ending when the word ends in a T o r a D. When a word ends in a T or D we pronounce the extra syllable when adding ED to the end to indicate past. Such as START changes to STARTED; LAND changes to LANDED. We pronounce the extra syllable so it sounds like (STAR*TED LAN*DED)PAST IRREGULAR VERBSAlthough there is no rules about how to change irregular verbs there are some patterns that happen. Really you should memorize, (ughhh, I know), speak, take classes, watch movies, and listen to music as much as possible to get the irregulars down. But below you will see some categories and patterns. Very Irregular: These are the special verbs. to be (am/is/are) changes to was/were. Have/has changes to had. Go changes to went. Do/Does/Dont/Doesnt changes to did/didnt.Doesnt Change: There are the few strange verbs that dont change from present/past/participle. Cut, Shut, Put,hit, let, Cost.Change Last Letter to T: Usually (not always) when the word ends in a D it changes to a T like: build-built, spend-spent, send-sent, lend-lent. Normally (not a solid rule) if the word has double EE it changes to T like: sleep-slept, keep-kept, feel-felt. Others: lose-lost, leave-left.Change the Letter to a D: No real pattern to this one. Make-made, hear-heard.Change the Middle Letter to an O: Sometimes when the vowel is an I we change the I to an O. Like: win-won, drive-drove, find-found. When the word has double LL we change the middle letter to an O and add D to the end: sell-sold, tell-told. Often when there is an EA combination the EA change to an O such as: steal-stole, break-broke, wear-wore.Change the Middle Letter to an A: Mostly when the word has and I it changes to an A. Like begin-began, give-gave, drink-drank, sing-sang, swim-swam, sit-sat. O and U also change to A like run-ran, come-came, become-became.Change the middle Letter to an E: If the word is OW we usually change it to EW like: know-knew, grow-grew, throw-threw.Ought/Aught/Ould-Sometimes the whole word changes and only the first letter stays the same li ke: buy-bought, teach-taught, catch-caught.Now Watch The Video and do the exercise: How many past irregulars are in the song?How many past regulars are in the song?What other verb tenses are there in the song?Can you retell us the story of the song?Below are the lyrics, fill in the spaces:I _____ grandpa on my transistor radio,Though he _____ in his bones twenty years ago,And he ____, Kid, theres something that Id like to show you,Get your things, its time for us to goSo I ____ my backpack, my flashlight, and a bag of caramel corn,I ____ my bicycle, and the radio, and I headed on the road, I saidIm ready for what Im about to see, YupI ____ north til rain had turned to snowThrough rusty towns and dusty gravel roadsAnd I ___, Grandpa, where is this thing you wanted to show me?He said, Kid, you got a long way to goSo I ____ through canyons, caves and catacombs, I sailed on bicycle boatsI _____ in chapels and brothels, I ____ the nicest folksI said, Im ready for what Im about to see, Yu pI heard grandpa on my transistor radioHe said, Kid, its time for me to go,And I know that there was something that I _____ to show you,But its time for you to find it on your own.Let me tell you about rage when a signal ____ that day,Theres nothing out there and I dont careits to take my life awayIm not ready and I dont want to see, NopeIts been years since I _____ my transistor radioYet I keep going to where it seems Im ______ to goAnd I finally ____ what he wanted to show meWhere Ive been, where I am, is the showWhere Ive ____, where I am, is the showWhere I__ been, where I am, is the showHope you enjoyed another Lesson and the song. If you like the song you should check out the band, they are pretty under as they say in Argentina but are becoming more popular.

Tips for Managing ADHD in the Classroom Transitioning Between Activities
Tips for Managing ADHD in the Classroom Transitioning Between Activities Transitioning smoothly from one activity or setting to another can be very challenging for students with ADHD. Somewhat surprisingly, difficulty managing transitions is actually one of the least talked about problems associated with ADHD, yet it is at these times of the day that students with ADHD are typically the most disruptive or emotional. Fortunately, there are some fairly simple strategies that help make transitions infinitely easier for students with ADHD. Identify trigger points. Most students with ADHD who struggle with transitions have a few points in their day that are the most difficult for them to manage. Start by thinking of the most challenging of these times and consider the factors that may be most triggering. Is there something about the other students in the mix at that particular time - maybe someone who the student gets particularly silly and excitable around, or someone who always seems to push his or her buttons? Is there a consistent time of day when the student struggles the most with transitions? Is there something about the activity being transitioning to or from that may make the transition harder for the student? Having a clear understanding of the factors that make a transition particularly difficult for a student will help you see the situation from his or her perspective and troubleshoot more effectively. Make simple adjustments. Whenever possible, make simple adjustments to minimize triggers. For example, if a student consistently seems to have difficulty with a particular classmate at a given transition, make sure these students are not in the same group or area of the room at this time. If the difficult transition comes as lunchtime is approaching, consider whether the student is overly hungry and may need a mid-morning snack to help them make it all the way through until lunch. It may seem simple, but sometimes this is all it takes to smooth out a rough point in the day. Consider medication effects. When a student with ADHD seems to handle transitions fine in the morning, but cant manage them well in the afternoon its important to consider the possibility that his or her medication is not as effective as it should be throughout the entire school day. When a medication wears off too quickly, the effects are often most obvious during transitions when emotions and disruptive behaviors are at their peak. In these cases, a medication adjustment may be needed to ensure that the medication is providing the proper support all day long. Announce schedule changes well in advance. Kids with ADHD rely on their daily routine to help regulate their behavior and emotions. Abrupt changes in their schedule or routine are often accompanied by abrupt change in their emotions and behaviors. Making sure the student is aware of the change well in advance will help him or her stay calm and regulated. Make them a helper. Students with ADHD often do best during transitions when they are engaged in structured tasks. Since transitions are often a relatively chaotic time in the classroom, placing students in the role of classroom helper can add some structure and focus to this otherwise unstructured time. The tasks can be simple, like making sure all of the desk chairs are pushed in as everyone lines up, or counting the student in the line to make sure everyone is accounted for. Just remember to praise the student and thank him or her for the help, so he or she will feel confident and motivated to keep helping day after day. Helping kids with ADHD manage transitions calmly and independently requires some initial planning and problem solving, but once a new routine is in place the student will thrive and problematic transitions will be a thing of the past!

How to Survive the First Big Test in College
How to Survive the First Big Test in College 5 tips to survive the first big test in college The first big test in college can be extremely overwhelming, or it can be an opportunity to shine. College exams are different than those in high school in many ways. For example, new college students will notice there are not as many opportunities for extra credit or bonus points on the exam, and the test questions may seem a fair amount more difficult. However, most college professors will let students know well in advance of any major test, which occur two or three times throughout the semester or quarter. There isnt a class that teaches students how to study for a college level exam, so it ends up being a learning experience for most students. However, there are some universal tips students can follow to have the best chance of success on these all important tests. 1. Time management One of the best things new college students can do is focus on time management. Attempting to study for an exam until 2 AM the night before will results in an exhausted student and a low grade. University level exams are complicated and take at least a few days to study for. As a result, students are encouraged to start early and leave themselves plenty of extra time in case something comes up or if they need to get in touch with the professor in regards to a tricky set of questions. Time management is a challenge for anybody, but its one of the key elements to doing well at this level. 2. Create a study guide Some professors will provide a study guide as a suggestion for what topics to study. However, anything students have learned up until that point is considered fair game. Its beneficial when students create their study guide based on key elements of each chapter and topics that have been discussed extensively in class. If a professor didnât provide a study guide; students need to start from scratch and make sure they leave enough time to update or add to their study guide as needed (READ: 4 Differences Between College and High School English Courses). 3. Clarifications If a student is ever unsure of what to study or in what format the test will be given its always helpful to clarify. Students will have access to the professor and a TA through email, class time, and office hours. Students should make sure they have enough time to get questions answered, so they have time left over to study appropriately. Many students go into their first big exam feeling confused about what they shouldâve focused on or what theyll be tested on. However, this is 100% preventable as long as students have great communication with the teaching staff. 4. Reading One of the most important things college students can do to prepare for an exam is read any assigned text in full. Many professors know that students run out of time and try to take a shortcut when it comes to reading comprehension. To encourage students to read fully, professors include questions that can only be answered by students who have read the entire text. The test may include obscure vocabulary terms or concepts that are only covered within these chapters. Reading is one of the most important things college student can do to score high on any given exam. 5. Review The first semester of college can be very stressful, leaving many students with the inability to remember everything they have learned in a given day. This is normal and happens to most students who are expected to learn a ton of different subjects in a short period. As a result, leaving time for review is one of the smartest things a student can do. When students take in new information, their brains need time to digest it. If students take a break and then go back another day and review the important elements, theyre more likely to remember it completely on test day. Also, review allows students to take a second stab at difficult concepts that they didnt understand 100% the first time around. Although review is extremely helpful, it can only be done if students leave enough time to focus on it before the day of their exam.

Prepare Your Kid for Kindergarten With These Tips - TutorNerds
Prepare Your Kid for Kindergarten With These Tips - TutorNerds Tips from a private San Diego Tutor: 5 Ways to Prepare Your Kid for Kindergarten this Fall Many preschoolers are enjoying summer, sunshine, and time with family before they start their very first year of kindergarten this fall. Its a major step for kids to go to a full day educational program and being prepared can make the transition a lot easier for both student and parent. There are lots of things parents can do to help their young learner get ready for all that awaits them once they start kindergarten at the end of August. 1. Get used to the idea of a classroom Many kids will have attended a preschool program for a year or two before they even go to kindergarten and may already be familiar with the classroom environment. On the other hand, lots of kids dont attend preschool or dont attend a traditional preschool program, and the idea of listening to a teacher, getting along with classmates, and sitting at a desk chair might be completely new. Its a good idea for young kids to get used to the idea of being in this environment so the adjustment is easier overall and they can cope with following directions and working on academics for an entire school day. 2. Work on sharing Once the kids start kindergarten, theyâll need to share with several other students. At home, crayons, books, toys, etc⦠all belong to one kid and may be shared with siblings or friends, but itâs not quite the same as sharing every material used in a classroom. Kids who get used to the idea of sharing such items ahead of time have a better chance of getting along with their new classmates once they start school in the fall (READ: 5 Benefits of Developing Great Teamwork Skills). 3. Visit the campus Some kids might be on the same campus as they were for preschool, but most students will have to make a change when they start kindergarten. Going to a new classroom in a new building at a new campus can be pretty scary for a kid who is just about to turn five. Visiting campus is a great way for kids to feel less anxious about their new environment. Most schools offer a back-to-school night where new students can visit their classroom, meet their teacher, see where their new desk will be, and even start to make some new friends. This takes a lot of stress out of this very important adjustment. 4. Look at kindergarten benchmarks Educational benchmarks change from year to year and throughout different generations so its a really good idea for parents to take a look at the current kindergarten benchmarks and see if theres anything they might need to go over with their kid before they start school. There are lots of different professional opinions about what benchmarks are appropriate at what age but knowing the current information ahead of time will help students adjust to their new academic environment and get up to speed with the academic tasks they may or may not have mastered yet. 5. Focus on exploration Starting school for the very first time is an excellent opportunity to explore all of the new information thatâs out there in the world. Instilling curiosity in a young student can help them enjoy learning in general, ask pertinent questions during lessons or projects, and find creative ways of doing new things. Students who are encouraged by both parent and teacher to explore and discover are more likely to be excited about going to school each morning and view education as a positive thing.

How to revise for chemistry GCSE
How to revise for chemistry GCSE GCSE chemistry revision challenges you in several ways. Aside from having to memorise facts spanning the whole specification, you also need to know your chemistry formulae. As a result, it's hard to know where to start. Here's what you need to know. Start revision early With a subject as broad as chemistry, you need to start your revision earlier in the year, compared to other subjects. This then allows you to break the core topics down into digestible chunks and study them little and often. This method ensures better memory retention and recall. At the same time, stay engaged in your lessons right until your exams. Ask questions, and be honest about your knowledge gaps so your teacher can help you fill them. Identify what you need to know Before you start your revision look at the specification for your examining board and ensure you know what exam papers you have and the exact chemistry topics that will be covered. This will help you to identify what you need to know, and what you don't need. If you're confused in any way, see your Chemistry teacher for confirmation of the core areas. Work out where you are right now Next, looking at the specification work out and highlight everything into three zones: Green indicates what you know and understand. Orange indicates what you vaguely know but aren't sure about. Red indicates what you don't know, and or don't understand. This colour-coded key will help you to see where to focus your revision and where to seek help. Always start with the topics in the red zone as this is the area that will help improve your grade. If you have large knowledge and understanding gaps seek the help of a chemistry tutor who can work with you to catch up. Change up your revision tactics For ideas on how to revise do check out our blog post on How to revise for GCSE science - for general tips and advice. Alongside this, find yourself a chemistry revision partner. Explaining what you have learned to a peer is the best way to work out what you know and understand. It also has the added benefit of someone being able to add ideas that you may not have considered. Work on past papers You will hear this piece of advice a lot. However, it's vital to look at past papers at the right time. Trying them without revising or before you have started your revision is demoralising. Factor them into your revision, but only when your revision is in full swing, and you are ready to test yourself. Ask for help Chemistry involves a lot of concepts, which are essential for you to understand before you apply the information to your exam questions. So, if there are any chemistry topics you don't understand, don't be afraid to ask your teacher or a tutor and bring it up in class. Look here for a chemistry tutor in your area.
