Which do you see 🤔 ? If you see the horse walking forward, then you are great candidate for an EB-2 NIW. If you see the horse walking backwards, then you are a great candidate for an EB-2 NIW 🤓 . I am a Right Brain person, horse obviously walks backwards. Is the USCIS Right or Left Brain? Don't answer that 😁 . #immigration #globalmobility #pilots #aviation #eb2niw #greencard #psychology

We learn best with curiosity, exploration and guided reflection. A professional can tell us that the spider doesn't harm, but we're not going to believe it until we touch it. We don’t learn how to ride a bike by reading a book. Instead of "correcting" or “challenging” beliefs, we're better off guiding exploration. The first step is to listen and be present, rushing to tell them all you learnt over the weekend is a waste of time. The focus instead is collaborative exploration of feared movements, debunking their unhelpful beliefs through action and self-reflection.

Through years of studying negotiation theory, I discovered the need to step back to communication, psychology and neuroscience. Eventually I landed on the importance of simple E M P A T H Y. If you're interested in exploring negotiations, here’s my recommended reading list 📚 and one free course: 1️⃣ How to Win Friends and Influence People – Dale Carnegie 2️⃣ Influence – Robert Cialdini 3️⃣ Never Split the Difference – Chris Voss 4️⃣ Coursera: Successful Negotiation (🔗 Link in comments) 5️⃣ Getting to Yes – Roger Fisher, William Ury, Bruce Patton Let’s get back to work now! 💼 -------------- Stop Consumption ✋🍹 Start Production 🛠️⚙️

"Exhaustive communication is exhausting, and it exhausts the human in us." I read this quote not long ago in a book titled, "The Matter with Things: Our Brains, Our Delusions, and the Unmaking of the World" -- a book that is at times dense as it's equal parts neuroscience, epistemology and metaphysics, but it's also very interesting and very helpful in understanding how our brains, especially the two hemispheres of our brains, work, interact, process and navigate the world we live in. And it's a strong call to lean into our Right Hemispheres more than we often do in the Western world. I love this quote, in part because it's clever, but I also think it's true. I think we run into challenges when trying to be 'comprehensive communicators': sharing all of the backstory, history, potential future permutations and considerations, all of the what-ifs and what-if-nots, etc, etc, etc. I've also noticed that people glaze over if you try to give them too much. Give them what they need to understand the problem or proposed solution. And leave space for questions to be asked, if there are any. We're people. We have an incredible capacity to intake a small amount of relevant information, process it and do amazing things. You don't have to cover everything up-front. You'll likely end up exhausting yourself in doing so, and more than likely ,the people you're trying to communicate with as well.

Draw the problem upside down. A strategy when teaching people how to draw is to flip the picture before they start. A person standing up, where you KNOW what an arm looks like, but yet can't translate it to paper can be wildly frustrating. When you flip the image, your brain is able to process the shapes, the movement, the various components, in a new way- and in a manner that often leads to greater success. This is my encouragement to you today. Take your problem, and reorient it. Find a different way to look at it. Maybe that involves talking it out with someone new, writing it down, investigating if why it "won't work" is surmountable...

😊 Understanding vs. Knowledge 💡 In our quest for wisdom, it's crucial to discern between knowledge and understanding. Knowledge is the accumulation of facts, while understanding delves into the why and how behind those facts, offering context and significance. 😊 Understanding fosters empathy, perspective-taking, and the ability to navigate complexity. It's dynamic, evolving through reflection and experience. In our pursuit of enlightenment, let's prioritize understanding, as it's through understanding that we truly connect and transcend the limits of mere knowledge. 💡

Staying curious is key in this field. Always ask "why" and explore the root of things. This inquisitiveness will lead you to deeper understanding and better solutions.

Implicit Negotiation Beliefs Who knew my NorQuest College students would learn so much about negotiations by drawing dinosaurs on the whiteboard in our classrooms?! 🦕🦖 Incremental theorists believe that negotiation is a malleable skill and can be improved. In the pre-planning and post-negotiation process, students: 🦖 Considered more outcome options for the issues being discussed (e.g., how they are treated by others during a negotiation, the implication of stereotypes, how personality traits influence negotiation behaviours, etc.) 🦕 Spent more time looking for areas of common ground (and thought about the consequences of different issues) 🦖 Prepared (SMART) goals that were more fluid rather than fixed, yet carefully considered their negotiation limits 🦕 …and so much more #innovativeteaching #negotiations

Moment of Reflection in a Black & White Mirror Lens... Observation begins with paying attention. It also requires us to slow down, and take note of our surroundings. It's about perceiving with all our senses. Observation is also very crucial in developing relationship and solving problems. In addition it helps replicate successful strategies in gaining insight in personal growth. Intentionality is the act that makes difference looks better!!!
