@curriculumblog Instead of power over, choose power with.

@thejustinwelsh Thanks for always adding value! I’ve been following your tips, especially those about engaging with others, and since I started I’ve learned so much, and connected with some really great people.

If you've been practicing boundaries, share your experience in the comments for community support.

The most valuable voice in a meeting isn’t the person who talks the most. It’s the person who says the most with the fewest words.

Dominating the discussion signals high self-importance or low self-awareness. Making space for others to contribute shows respect and earns respect.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

We pay too much attention to the most confident voices—and too little attention to the most thoughtful ones.

Certainty is not a sign of credibility. Speaking assertively is not a substitute for thinking deeply.

It's better to learn from complex thinkers than smooth talkers.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Being appreciated doesn't just make you feel good. It helps you get stronger.

Evidence: receiving gratitude improves cardiovascular stress responses, boosting resilience and performance by turning threats into challenges.

Being thanked fortifies our bodies along with our bonds.

HOW TO BECOME MORE SELF AWARE

A THREAD 🧵:

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" sends the wrong message about work.

We should teach kids that who you are is more than what job you do. Work is an activity—it doesn't have to define your identity.

A healthy sense of self is rooted in character, not career choice.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The learning process isn't finished when you acquire knowledge. It's complete when you consistently apply that knowledge.

Many people accumulate information. Far fewer use it to evolve and improve.

The ultimate test of growth is closing the gap between awareness and action.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Trauma is stored in the body and revealed in relationships.

HERE’S WHAT THAT MEANS 🧵:

Aversion to conflict is aversion to relationship. On a social level we don’t simply live with those we personally know. We don’t only impact those who know our names. Dialogue is a precondition for society. And painful conflict is one of it’s crucial tests.
