At our maths enrichment club, Lions of Symmetry, we tried out the single-cut letter cutting chellenge by @stecks. I want to try an S next so I'm using squared paper and I drew it on both sides to start with.

"I now believe listening is absurdly under-discussed."

Brilliant article that elucidates the challenge and reward of active listening.

Insightful article about listening.
"Listening well, it took me too long to discover, is a sort of magic trick: both parties soften, blossom, they are less alone." https://t.co/8kdp9NnoJd

@tashmccarroll "To listen well, we ‘must create a climate which is neither critical, evaluative, nor moralising’. ‘Our emotions are often our own worst enemies when we try to become listeners,��� he wrote. In short, a great deal of bad listening comes down to lack of self-control."

Do you like to receive your colleagues' ideas and communication by reading or listening? Peter Drucker (Managing Oneself, HBR, 1999) said this is a key trait to understanding how you perform well.

I prefer to read because it gives me time to think over my ideas. You?

Amazing time last night at the @ATMMathematics #atmSingapore with 50 maths teachers from around SG. Thrilled to host this inspirational group at @TanglinTrust.

I'm thinking today about the five elements of trust.
Reliability: Being reliable creates trust.
Honesty: Telling the truth creates trust.
Good Will: Acting in good faith creates trust.
Competency: Doing your job well creates trust.
Open: Being vulnerable creates trust.

Overwhelm typically happens in business when you are multi- tasking. David Meyer, professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, found that you can lose up to 40 percent of productivity from switching tasks.
