Psychoeducational assessments are useful when children struggle with learning or behavior, or when their social or emotional skills are less developed than expected. These challenges can be symptoms of hidden problems with attention or organization. They can also reflect difficulties with academic skills, like reading and math. Left unidentified, problems can spiral into secondary issues, including low self-esteem, school refusal and anger.
At Shift Cognitive Therapy + Assessment we believe that truly useful psychological assessments answer two questions: 'Why are these problems occurring?' and 'What do we do about it?'
Early assessment and intervention give you and your child the tools necessary to enhance strengths and address of limitations before problems really take root. We conduct a comprehensive psychological and educational assessment of children between the ages of 5 and 19. We also provide assessments for teens going on to post-secondary education.
At Shift, our team of clinicians work with you to identify problem issues and develop interventions to guide your child forward. Our reports are meaningful and easy to understand and our assessment services are available 7 days per week because we know your family's time is important. We even have a team of professionals that will work with you after the assessment to help implement the recommendations at home or in the school.
Psychoeducational assessments are typically conducted over 3 visits. The first is a meeting with the parents to discuss the issues and concerns. We will investigate the history of the problem and begin generating hypotheses about what might be causing it. We will discuss the areas to be evaluated in the assessment and give you questionnaires to complete at home.
The second step is the assessment of the child, which we usually book for a different day. The assessment might examine cognitive, memory, perceptual, motor and organizational skills, self-esteem and other areas that we think are appropriate. We will often also conduct a detailed examination of reading, writing and math development. Most children enjoy the experience because they are involved in a one-to-one situation, doing activities that are quite game-like. We examine all of the results after the testing is complete and produce a comprehensive report that explains our findings.
The final step is a second meeting with the parents (and possibly also with the child) to discuss the assessment results and review our recommendations. In most cases, we are able to complete the report within three weeks of the testing.
Colleges and universities can make accommodations for students with special learning needs, but only when they have a current psychoeducational assessment describing the specific requirements. Our team works to create strategies and accommodations to help post-secondary students succeed in their chosen programs.
Shift Cognitive Therapy + Assessment is a team of psychologists and counsellers in Oakville, ON. We specialize in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy(CBT) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression and anxiety for children, teens and adults.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy & Emotion-Focused Therapy
The goal of cognitive behaviour therapy is to help individuals become aware of the thoughts and patterns of behaviour that keep them feeling stuck. Its focus is on the 'here-and-now' to help relieve current symptoms and address current problems.
Emotion-Focused Therapy is an approach to couples and family issues that focuses on identifying and correcting repetitive and dysfunctional patterns that leave people feeling alone and unsupported. EFT helps members of a couple or family to remain engaged with each other in order to better communicate what each really needs from the other.

The Youth Justice Project of the Southern Coalition for Social Justice released several racial equity report cards to highlight racial disparities in school districts' discipline and academic achievement.
The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools racial equity report card for the 2015-16 school year
showed that 51.3 percent of short-term suspensions were Black students, while only 23.6 percent were white.
The study also concurred that, in the 2015-16 school year, Black students were 10 times more likely to receive a short-term suspension in the CHCCS than white students.
Peggy Nicholson, co-director of the Youth Justice Project within the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, said her organization was motivated to create the racial equity report cards because it was fairly easy to find overall school discipline and academic achievement for districts, but it was difficult to find that information broken down by race.
"We wanted to create a tool so students, parents, community advocates and educators have easy access to some of that data, so they can start looking at overall racial disproportionality and their community's school-to-prison pipeline," Nicholson said.

Being joyful goes a lot deeper than just telling yourself that you will be joyful today! There's more to it than simply resolving to be happy.
Experiencing life from a joyful perspective takes practice to cultivate—especially since we're naturally drawn to notice the negative.
This month at Day Designer we'll be looking at the theme of JOY and discovering how we can lead a joyful life. Joy is something that we can all use a little bit more of! Are you ready for a happiness boost?
While many people say "I choose joy" and make it sound easy, the truth is that it's not always as simple as that. It can take some work to get to the point where you actually are indeed choosing joy.
The good news, however, is that once you have practiced choosing joy, it will start to become your natural response. You replace the negative thoughts with positive ones, and slowly, over time, instead of defaulting to negativity, your mind will naturally gravitate towards joy.
With a few changes, you can begin to rid your life of negativity and start to find the joy that's been there all along.
Be Aware
First things first, it's important to free yourself up from the unrealistic expectation of experiencing joy all the time. That's the first thing that we need to let go of because holding ourselves to unrealistic expectations will only end in frustration—and certainly not joy. Instead, it's important to acknowledge that sometimes sadness comes, or perhaps a stressful time, and negativity seeps in. When this happens, it's important to remember that these feelings are only temporal. Joy, like the sun, is always shining. Our negative thoughts or feelings are like the clouds. They soon will pass!
Start the Morning Right
Have you ever felt like the day has gone downhill from the moment you woke up to the moment you went to bed? Starting the morning off right can make all the difference in what direction your day goes. Consider spending a few moments reflecting on all the things you have to be grateful for. It's a great place to start!
Get Enough Sleep
On the same note, you should also ensure that you are getting enough sleep. Getting adequate sleep is vital to how you handle stress and frustrations. If you are operating on little to no sleep, it can be easy to slip into the negative way of thinking. Make sure you're getting enough sleep—it'll help you navigate the often-challenging aspects of life.
Keep a Gratitude Journal
Keeping a gratitude journal can help you reflect on the positive aspects of your life and give you something to look over on those days when joy isn't coming so easily! If you need to, start small and just start writing down a few things down that you are grateful for—from little moments like extra snuggles or big giggles to the more broad aspects of life such as good health or a recent promotion. Eventually, you won't have to struggle to choose happiness, you will radiate joy, and writing down your grateful thoughts—or thinking about them—will start to become second nature.
Make Time for Yourself
Finally, taking some time for yourself will improve your mindset. Often when life is so busy and we are giving so much of ourselves to others, there is nothing left for us. Taking some time for ourselves, no matter how short or long, is the perfect way to reset our mind and gain clarity. It also makes it easier to think joyful thoughts!
Remember, there is always a silver lining! While sometimes it can be difficult to see the joy in our lives, it is always there and it's important to remember to seek it out so it doesn't become clouded out and forgotten. Don't let the negative areas of your life cloud out your happiness! Instead, seek joy and reward yourself with a more joyful life.

It has been an interesting month. Let me supply you with some background.
I am sixty years old. Forty two years ago, at age eighteen, I had my first homosexual experience. A classmate, far more experienced than I. It was the seventies, the cusp of AIDS. He would take the train into Manhattan on the weekends to play in the bath houses.
I was intimate with him a couple of times, and "friendly" with some of my other gay friends. It was odd, in this small group of people who had been friends all their lives, a large number experimented with Homosexuality for a few years, some for life. I am still friends with a few of them.
I went on with life, got married, had kids, left for another woman, and man. My first wife was having an affair and trying to get me to leave, so I did. I moved in with a female coworker, platonic at first, then one night she climbed into my bed. Then her gay male friend climbed into our bed a few days later. Then I met some of her other friends. This may have been the first time I used the term "Bisexual." My father actually came to our door to tell me to return to my wife. Something like "You can't have Bisexual orgies the rest of your life, you have children."
Life went on, I eventually tried to make things work with the wife, but things were working fine with her. I remarried a couple of times but all my wives knew I was Bisexual, even when it did not result in any activity on my part. I was ever so slightly effeminate, perhaps androgynous, and would mention some previous encounter when all the Heterosexuals were talking about theirs. I spoke often about how the Red Cross did not want my blood because I had had sex with a man. I was occasionally flamboyant.
A few years ago, at my fortieth High School reunion, a man walked up to me, a former football player and now retiring as a coach. He saw in his team young people coming to grips with their sexuality. He said he admired how I had been, and considered me to be "the brave one." I really thought everyone knew I was Bisexual.
Then something happened. I met a woman.
Not just any woman, I met a Bisexual woman. I met a Bisexual activist. Janice is not "in your face" with her sexuality, it is simply a part of her life, like your sexuality is a part of yours.
I felt much more open myself around her. Pride month arrives. I decide to make some public statements, and get a bit flamboyant. I dye my beard in Bi-pride colors, get my fingernails and toenails painted bi-pride colors. I wrote about Pride and posted about our activities on Facebook. Not exactly in your face but vocal. I made friends on Facebook with a couple of Janice's friends, and spoke more in public groups. In a SpecOps group I am in, there was a discussion about a pride flag being flown at a military memorial. What an interesting place to be lectured about sin.
I noticed there were fewer interactions, I know my ex-partner was saying negative things to people but this was noticeable. My blog has had fewer views, my friends for the most part avoid me, my family has been silent when they are at their best, anti-LGBTQ+ memes were rare, and the occasional comment about loving the sinner but hating the sin. People I have known my entire life, and who must have known I was Bisexual, suddenly backing away. I am the same person today I was last year, forty years ago, and most likely sixty years ago. Nothing changed other than my talking about it, during Pride month.
I find it amazing that in a society devoted to understanding each other, there are people who believe I should be exterminated among my friends and family. When I was seeing Janice, Sam said "You have your family." She was right, Janice's friends have overwhelmingly welcomed me.
We've had genuinely funny posts that were liked by literally hundreds of our friends, but only by two who were exclusively my friends. I have to believe this is about people distancing themselves from me. I sent emails to most of my closer friends, explaining the situation and offering to talk about any concerns. Two responses, one being "Who didn't know?" Obviously my friends are from different places in every way, but to have so many back off is unexpected.
I find this sad. One month devoted to LGBTQ+ awareness. Eight percent of the year to recognize what is suspected to be eight percent of the population. All year long we live in a world where Heterosexuality is the "norm." Art, literature, films, and media portray heterosexuality on a daily basis, yet one example of an alternative relationship and the world calls it "in your face."
On 30 June there will be an event in Manhattan. The culmination of Pride month takes place at the site it began, Stonewall. In addition to the Pride parade, there will be a Queer liberation march and rally. There is a portion of the community that is suspicious of the corporate sponsorships and such. You may have noticed yourself, all the references to pride in the commercials this month, but a gay character? Never. I am finding myself aligning with that group. I thought the level of acceptance was much higher, should the subject come up everyone gives the politically correct responses, but in real life, it doesn't work that way.
In many ways, I feel a level of resentment. I had been erased all my life. I thought I was being open and everyone knew who I was, but they just pretended it wasn't there. Until I made some noise. Then I wasn't there.
On the third anniversary of my brain injury this year, I promised myself to become more involved in life. That involvement has taken some unusual turns, but each has been revealing. Finding truth is always the mission, regardless of the truth discovered.

Annual Meeting
Care – Robot – Ethics. Ethical Challenges in the Technologisation of Care
The number of people in need of long-term care in Germany is rising. At the same time, there is a severe nursing shortage. In view of demographic change, politics and research are increasingly focusing on robotics projects that promise new technical support options in care. At its annual meeting in 2019, the German Ethics Council will address the complex ethical issues raised by the use of robotic technologies in care and especially in nursing for the elderly. Robots are intended to relieve the burden on nursing staff and to improve the self-determination of those affected. However, mechanical, highly automated access to the lives of those in need of care and the interaction between humans and robots pose new ethical, anthropological and legal challenges for nursing work.
Together with scientists from computer science, medicine, psychology, medical ethics, law and cultural anthropology, it will be discussed which potentials and challenges arise in dealing with new assistive systems for the various target groups in nursing care for the elderly. Furthermore, the conference offers the opportunity to get to know specific examples of current robot development and to get an impression of the manifold potentials in practice. The aim of the conference is to subject care robotics to the following critical ethical reflection:
- How should a responsible development of human-machine interaction systems be designed?
- What effects does AI-supported robotics have on the needs of those affected?
- How does robotics change our social and individual images of people and age?
- What legal frameworks are needed to protect patients, relatives and caregivers?

David 00:01 Hi everybody. This is David Worley. Welcome to the Groler Podcast. Everyone faces problems in their leadership. In fact, one might argue that the process of leading is about solving problems. But one interesting element to this is that we rarely, if ever, stop to think about the nature of problems themselves. Exactly what type of a problem am I facing? Is there a solution to this problem, or is it fundamentally a case where we are looking for a "workable" solution rather than the "best" solution? In this episode, we engage a unique category of problems called "wicked." You will find out exactly what this means, and how you might think about approaching them, in this episode of the Groler Podcast.
David 01:05 Hi everybody. Welcome to the show. For the first time ever on the Groler Podcast we are producing a multipart interview. This is part two of a three part interview with one of the greatest scholars of leadership alive today, Dr. Keith Grint. If you are tuning into this episode for the first time, you may want to go back one episode and listen, because I provide an introduction to Keith's life and work. We also covered some interesting topics in that show. Moving forward, this episode is all about problems. And we lead off with me attempting to re-articulate three different problem categories from the academic leadership literature: tame, wicked, and critical problems. It is this middle category of wicked that it is most germane to organizational leaders and it is the one we will focus our attention on in this episode. Let's pick up the interview with Keith Grint.
David 02:01 Keith, in multiple places in your work, you describe three different kinds of problems. And you're drawing on other scholar's work as well, but for the purpose here you're calling them tame, wicked, and critical problems. Now, if I'm understanding the literature correctly in a succinct fashion, tame problems tend to be those in known areas where there are known answers. So to be really simple for listeners you could often think about this as management. I have a problem, we know what works to solve this. Here's what I do.
Keith 02:41 Yeah.
David 02:42 On the opposite end of the spectrum, you talk about critical problems, and you kind of touched on it a little bit in terms of the age that we're in. Critical problems tend to be perceived as emergencies that require a perceived decisive and authoritarian response. This could be a military response like 9-11. It could be the Federal Reserve in the U.S. responding to the financial crisis back in 2008 and 2009. For our purposes here at Groler, I think it's the wicked problems that stand out as being the most relevant and challenging to my listeners. So you describe wicked problems as problems in which there is no apparent solution, no stopping point, no linear solution. And you go on to say that in these types of cases the role of the leader is not to find solutions or answers, but rather to ask the right questions. Can you walk us through an example of how this plays out in a common organizational context?
Keith 03:53 Okay. So perhaps the first thing to say is that there quite often is a very high level of dispute and dissent about what counts as a wicked problem. So even if you and I might agree that X is a wicked problem, it would be unusual if there was a consensus about that. There would be other people saying "it isn't a wicked problem, I know how to fix it, or we need to get a commander in control."
David 04:17 Interesting.
Keith 04:18 So there's already at the very beginning of this dispute or debate, there's an issue about whether we're looking at the same thing or whether we're looking at different things. So let's just take, a current example might be if you take the British example and Brexit for the case. So we may or we may not be leaving the European Union in the next few weeks and no one seems to know that. And it's taken us two and a half years to get to the point where no one seems to know what it is we are supposed to be doing. And so part of the problem is that very first step in this long sequence of catastrophes, seems to have been the assumption by the government that this is a tame problem and all we need to do is negotiate our way to a particular kind of deal. And that's it. And then the longer this has gone on, the more they realize that (a) they don't quite know what deal they're looking for and (b) nobody can agree on whether the deal that they're looking for is a good deal or bad deal.
David 05:20 This sounds familiar Keith!
Keith 05:23 Yeah, exactly. What will happen if we do or we don't leave. So, one way of thinking about what might have happened at the very beginning is for people to have said, "okay, so this has never happened before. No country has ever left the European Union so there is no procedure here. There is no process that we could follow, which would be a management process. So it's not a tame problem, nor at that point was it a crisis. So we don't need somebody telling us what to do, we don't need the commander. What we need to recognize is it's probably a wicked problem. Which we don't quite know how to handle and there is probably nobody anywhere in the world that knows quite what to do at this point in time. So there wasn't a solution off the peg. So under those circumstances, we need to recognize our own ignorance to accept that we don't know the answer, that we don't know what we're doing, but somehow collectively and collaboratively we need to work our way to a decision point where most of us can agree this is probably the best thing to do. Rather than this being a good thing to do, this would be a less dangerous thing to do.
Keith 06:29 So quite often wicked problems don't have good answers, they have less difficult or less dangerous answers. There is just, this is as good as it's going to get. Rather than this is going to be great. So that would require the government at that time, two and a half years ago, to then engage as many people as possible. In lots of conversations about what they thought the problems were and how we might transcend them. How we might get to a different kind of approach. But because we never got to that collaborative collective bit, we end up with nobody agreeing on what it is we're trying to do. And we're now just a few weeks away for what might be an economic and political catastrophe because of the misunderstanding or the miscasting of the problem in the first place.
Keith 07:16 So I think if you take that down to an organizational level, you quite often find many of the problems, and I've taught this kind of approach for about 10 years now. And when you get a group of people in the room and you ask them at the very beginning, "what are the kinds of problems that keep them awake at night" (work problems)? They will quite often say it's something to do with people. There seems to be kind of three quarters, 80% of the problems that people bring to these sessions are directly people problems. And the other 20% are indirectly people problems. So there's something locked into that, which implies this is not really about logic and rationality. It's not that kind of a problem. I think you have to recognize that people have different interests and they have different emotions. And what drives us is not cold, clear logic, but all kinds of strange things. Which is why we quite often are unable to agree about what the problem is and what the solution might be.
Keith 08:14 So if you take one from the U.S., I mean gun control would be a good example of this. There are people in the U.K. that that don't understand why the U.S. doesn't resolve its gun problem. It's self evident that there are lots of people in the U.S. that don't think they have a gun problem. So from the very beginning there was a dispute about what the problem is. Is the problem the presence of guns or is the problem that the absence of guns. So there aren't enough guns to be able to prevent murder or they're already too many guns to prevent murders. So what you have with the gun control issue is a perfect wicked problem in that we don't agree on what the problem is. And because we don't agree on what the problem is, there's no way we could ever agree on what the solution might be because we don't have the same problem to think about.
Keith 09:04 I mean you can bring that down to the drugs issue, the illegality of drugs. We've tried now for 30 or 40 years to control drugs, but there doesn't seem to be any significantly successful country that has controlled drugs in the way that doesn't require all kinds of other things that you might not want to think about. So is the problem drug production? Is the problem drug demand? Is the problem that the drugs are coming over, in the U.S. case, the border the problem? Is Mexico the problem? Because if Mexico is the problem, then does that necessarily mean that building a wall is the solution to that problem? Or is the wall much more of a symbolic political issue, which has little to do with either drugs or immigration. I mean it might, I don't know.
Keith 09:52 But I think when you look at how people have responded to the wall issue across from California to Mexico, it is self evident, at least to me, that people simply don't agree on what the problem is and whether the wall will ever be a solution. So I think all of these things are good examples. And what's intriguing is that people get extremely upset, annoyed and angry when they try to put what they think is a logical case to explain the resolution of one of these kinds of wicked problems. And what happens is the other side doesn't agree with them. So normally what then happens is people start shouting at each other. And in reality, none of the shouting, in fact, none of the argument is probably going to work because we don't agree on what the problem is. Never mind what the solution is.
David 10:41 That's fascinating, Keith. So let me ask you this question. You're in a hotel lobby, you're waiting on an appointment and you're talking with someone who is the CEO or a C-suite level person in a small organization and they've read your stuff on wicked problems and they say to you, "Keith, I know that I'm in the midst of a wicked problem. And even my colleagues agree that it serves the template of what a wicked problem is." So they don't need to convince their colleagues that they are not agreeing. How would you advise that leader? What steps might they go through to begin to attempt to solve the, "is this the right question" problem?
Keith 11:28 Okay, so the first thing to think about is taking your premise that they've already agreed that this is a wicked problem. And quite often that might not be the case, but let's assume that everybody in the organization agrees this is what we would call a wicked problem. So part of the issue is the so called language game that we have to accept. If people don't have the same language, then you can't use this as a mechanism for trying to understand the way the world works or trying to resolve it. So, normally, we don't allow people to say if they're the Chief Exec for example, "that thing we talked about yesterday morning on reflection, I've got no idea about that. Sorry." That counts as failure in most people's books.
David 12:07 You pay me $17 million dollars a year and what I have to say is I don't have any idea what I'm doing.
Keith 12:14 Exactly. Yeah. So what you can say is "that thing we all talked about yesterday that we were all confused by on reflection. I think it's a wicked problem and that's why I don't have the answer to it. Is there anybody in the room, in the office, in the company that thinks they do have the answer? Because that implies they don't think it's a wicked problem. And if you think that you know what the answer is, I'd like you to come up here and swap places with me and tell us what you think we should be doing. And if nobody moves, I'm going to assume we all agree it's a wicked problem, which means nobody has the answer, which means we need to start a conversation to think about what we're going to do about this." So the first premise is to get the language by which people accept that probably nobody has the answer to this. This is the first move.
Keith 12:59 Then having done that, the second move is then to say, "well since we don't know what the answer is, what we're about to do is going to have to be experimental, tentative, pragmatic. We don't have an answer. There is no template for this. There is no best practice. We can't ring up one of the big consultants as say come fix this problem with one of your procedures. Because, there isn't a procedure for it. So we need to start thinking about alternative ways of approaching this and we need to recognize that since we don't have the answer, we need to start small scale and we need to make sure everything is reversible." So rather than saying, well, let's just change the way the entire organization works and see if that helps the problem; (a) that's really risky and (b) that could destroy the organization because we can't guarantee what we're about to do is going to work.
Keith 13:48 If you know it's going to work, then it's a tame problem. It's a management problem. If you don't know what it is, if it's a wicked problem, then you have to be able to say, let's just start in this part of the organization. We'll restructure it, or we'll reprocess it, or we'll do whatever and we'll try it out. And we also have to recognize that we have to monitor where we're going and if in two weeks or six months down the line, that's actually making it worse or making no difference, we need to stop that and start somewhere else with something else. So this is much more of a small scale, experimental, decentralized, let's try stuff out because what we're doing isn't working. So rather than assuming there's only be a top down plan, there's going to be a bottom up question.
Keith 14:33 And I think quite often what we do is we don't allow people to accept failure. We don't allow people to fail and we punish them when they do fail. And all of the research suggests that the punishment for failure way exceeds the rewards for success. And the way to get success in most organizations is not to make a mistake. And that is the opposite of what we're talking about here because unless somebody actually makes a mistake, unless they're prepared to say, "well, let's try it and see." Unless that happens and you're not going to make any progress towards trying to resolve these wicked problems that we're looking at. So that there is something in our assumptions about success and failure, which is a really important part of this. It's not just recognizing that the problem is wicked. It's also recognizing because it's wicked, because we don't quite know what we're doing. We have to be (a) very careful about what we're doing and (b) we have to accept what we're about to do is probably not going to work, but it might. And we know that what we're doing at the moment isn't working, so how bad can it get?
David 15:35 That's really interesting. It seems to me that what you're describing, in all of your tips for how to deal with wicked problems, is that the underlying organizational culture is going to be overwhelmingly influential in the latitude offered to leaders to constructively attempt something like a solution, even though the solution doesn't exist. Is that accurate?
Keith 16:03 Yeah. So we know that what organizational cultures, they are generated as a mechanism for most organizations to address their tame problems. That's why the lights keep going. That's why the stuff keeps getting made. Because we've got a culture which is oriented towards tame solutions for tame problems. But simultaneously what that also does is inhibit us from addressing wicked problems. So the very culture that we've got is part of the problem. And you have to be able to look at the culture and then think about, well, if the culture that we're using is good for the bread and butter issues, but it's inhibiting us from addressing the wicked problems, what other kinds of aspects of culture might we think about that might give us a different understanding of, and approach to, this particular kind of problem. So in some ways the whole issue is a cultural problem. And we know that once you're in a culture, it's very hard for you to step outside the culture.
Keith 17:03 And that implies quite often you get really interesting conversations with people that don't understand the problem. I mean the gun control issue or the Brexit problem would be good examples of that. There are very few logical, rational debates about either of those two issues. They are much more to do with emotion than they are to do with logical rationality. For example, we have a couple of programs in the UK. They're based around political issues. One's a television program called Question Times. When you basically get a series of experts from across all kinds of social life and they're questioned by people in the audience. And then they just respond appropriately. And there's also a whole mechanism in the British Parliament called Prime Minister's question time. When you can ask the prime minister or various ministers questions.
Keith 17:56 So I've been watching both of these for about 40 years now. I have never, ever, seen anybody answering the question say, "oh, I see what you mean now. My whole life I've been wrong, but now I understand what you mean. I'm going to change my position." So that's never happened. So there is clearly something else underlying this. It's not about persuading people to change their mind, it's about something else. It's about demonstrating something else. So I think we have in our heads an assumption that if you're logical enough and you put enough resource in, you can solve all these problems. I think you can solve the tame problems like that. That's the whole point of a consultancy approach. You put enough expertise and resource in you can solve those kinds of problems. But wicked problems, they're not accessible to those kinds of approaches. And what you get is just people get angrier and angrier because they have not really worked out that this is a different category of problem.
David 18:52 Hmm. Yeah. So Keith, clearly you've given at least a half a dozen examples in this interview thus far around social problems that clearly are constituted as wicked problems. Do you think that most organizations face a lot of wicked problems in the same way that society does, but they just aren't aware of it? Or do you think that organizational life tends to revolve around tame problems?
Keith 19:24 I would say most of the time what organizations face is tame problems and occasionally a critical problem. Occasionally something goes radically wrong and then you have to step in and take control and do stuff. But most of the time, most of our lives are built around tame problems. So you'd probably spend, you know, three quarters of your daily life just pursuing tame problems. That's what we get appointed for and promoted for our ability to address, tame problems with the appropriate process. I mean that's what MBA curriculums are full of, they're full of a year's worth of "and this is how you address this particular kind of problem which will recur." But once people get beyond their MBA and then start to get promoted, they then face less and less tame problems and more and more wicked problems. And their temptation is either to go back to assuming it's a tame problem and apply their old knowledge and hope it's going to resolve it. And of course it won't. Or their tendency is just, "well, I'm only going to be here for a couple of years so it's not in my interest to actually address the problem in the first place."
David 20:28 Interesting.
Keith 20:28 Quite often these are really long-term, 5 year, 10 year, 50 year problems. So it becomes in the interest of people just to not talk about them, just to ignore them and to let somebody else deal with them.
David 20:41 That's such a fantastic point there Keith. Because in terms of biographically for me, I've been working as a leader in the same organization, I'm on my 14th year. And I'll tell you that our organization is not overly complicated by organizational standards. But the longer I'm at the organization, the more I understand the multiplicity and the multifaceted nature of all of the big challenges we face. And it seems to me, from my own subjective experience as a leader on the ground, that many things that I would have thought of as tame problems say six years ago, seven years ago, I now look at and I'm like, no, this is actually a wicked problem. There isn't a clear solution, and once you understand all the moving parts and the true complexity of what's happening, it's hard to argue that there's a management solution to this. So you know, a lot of what you're saying there is resonating deeply with me.
David 21:43 And I think for many listeners, particularly folks who are quite seasoned or have been in an institution or organization for a long time, I think they will recognize that, "wow, I'm actually confronting wicked rather than tame problems." So guess what? Calling up the management consultant isn't going to help me. And actually I need to change my use of language and the way I'm even positioning politically in the organization around this issue. So thank you for bringing that to us. I hadn't thought much about wicked problems in organizations themselves. They're obvious in society as you pointed out, but that's really helpful. Thank you.
David 22:25 With that, we close part two of our discussion with Keith Grint.
David 22:29 Wow! What an interesting conversation about the nature of problems. To recap, I heard several big points related to wicked problems. First is that you usually don't agree whether there is a problem itself. If you're lucky enough to have a consensus that there is indeed a problem. The challenge then with wicked ones is that there's really no procedure to follow to correct them. So profoundly, perhaps we are simply looking for, in Keith's words, "a less difficult or less dangerous solution rather than the right solution." Right there folks is a wise insight into leadership. How many of us have struggled to find the "right" solution? Oftentimes the best we can do is simply getting things done to move the ball down the field.
David 23:19 And while this podcast is designed for organizational leaders, I do wish to opine for a few seconds here. Does this not nail a critical issue in our society in the early 21st century? Namely, everybody thinks they're right and they can't understand why other people don't see things their way. We argue about answers incessantly. In fact, we create our own news networks to provide the same ridiculously self-serving, echo chamber type elements that serve our own particular solutions. Note what I said there "solutions." As Grint has taught us here, perhaps we need to think about the nature of our problems and from that point step back and conclude that some progress is better than no progress, particularly on society's big ones, the big issues that face us every day.
David 24:12 Secondly, moving back to organizational leadership, remember that our organizations tend to be set up to solve tame problems. As we think about the broader array of issues that we face, it's important to remember Grint's words that "we need to be experimental, iterative, and pragmatic in making progress." We aren't going to have a glowing solution to every problem we face, but we can improve things. If you liked this interview, stay tuned for our third and final installment with Keith Grint. Part three deals with engaging how language constructs our leadership reality.

Nevermelt Ice Weapon
By: Matt Rosengren
Type: Weapon
Game: Dungeons & Dragons (D&D)
A Nevermelt Ice Weapon is crafted from special types of ice gathered from The Planes. It is shaped using the Craft (ice carving) skill (see the Craft skill for details) and Craft Nevermelt Ice feat. You can make a Nevermelt Ice weapon from any weapon that is normally primarily constructed of (that is, the components that deal damage) metal, e.g. you can make Nevermelt Ice longswords and arrows, but not quarterstaffs or clubs. It is immune to any type of fire or heat damage (including e.g. being thrust into a volcano), and deals +1d4 damage to fire type creatures.
Prerequisites: Craft Nevermelt Ice; Market price: +2000 gp.
Feat: Craft Nevermelt Ice
Using this feat, you can create Nevermelt Ice from special types of ice gathered from The Planes. This ice cannot melt and is as strong and durable as steel (i.e. use the same statistics as steel, but it cannot be affected by spells such as Heat Metal, Transmute Metal to Wood, etc.). A Craft (ice carving) check is still required to shape the ice into a desired object (see Craft skill for details).
Prerequisites: Craft (ice carving) +10.
[Editor's note: item originally submitted as "Tundris Ice Reaver" made from Tundris Ice, referring to other materials submitted by the author (see related material). Name and material have been generalized, so it can be used in a less specific context.]
[Editor's suggestion: players may want to create items other than weapons from this material. Nevermelt Ice armor, for example, could use the same rules as dragonhide armor: armor is masterwork quality and can be used by druids (since it's not made of metal anymore), but costs double the amount of the normal masterwork armor. Fire resistance would fit such an armor as well, but should be very costly (using standard rules, fire resistance 10 on an armor is a +3 enhancement modifier in Edition 3.0 and a +18,000 gp modifier in Edition 3.5). The game master may prefer not to include this ability in the armor, but have the players enchant it using standard rules. The cost of other items should depend on the usefulness of having them made of ice, and the campaign setting. If it's mainly for roleplaying purposes, it should be reasonably affordable, but still pricey (otherwise it wouldn't be special anymore).]

If Bale is the star, the rest of the cast is the sky holding him in place
When Hostiles is stripped back, the skeleton of a classic style western is left with some crucial updates making it more than relevant to a modern day audience. The top layers however, run beautifully rich in subtle themes and exciting shootouts, with quality dripping through from every element of the production.
Set to retire imminently, Captain Blocker (Christian Bale) is tasked with one final journey taking Yellow Hawk (Wes Studi), a known killer and 20-years prisoner, to Montana to die peacefully. In spite of it being much against his beliefs, Blocker agrees to take the chief on the journey north. However a rogue group of native Americans and other New Mexico adversaries are ready to take out the Captain and all of those around him.
Christian Bale is the star as his character Joeseph J. Blocker takes a huge personal journey during the expansive trek north. Not for a long time has Bale showed just how brilliant his emotional range is, inside of just one role. And this carries Hostiles through some of the weaker moments tending to come in periods of one to one dialogue.
It is these unengaging moments that do let Hostiles down, with only Bale's increasingly diverse emotions to cling on to. There are powerful speeches within the runtime, but often they needed finer tuning before they were printed on the final script sheets. Yet this should not take anything away from the outstanding performances put out by most of the cast. If Bale is the star, the rest of the cast is the sky holding him in place.
There is a deeply thematic picture laying beneath the violence that litters the screen with blood, but the understanding comes with a Western that it could be a gruesome outing. There's enough substance behind the gore to make Hostiles a fascinating watch, and one that is accessible to all. Western fan or not.

Af Tower is one of two great diving sites in Fethiye along with Aquarium Bay. Af Tower, is one of the best and safest diving spots in Turkey. Suitable for more experienced divers, you can see plenty of sea creatures at Af Tower.
Nestled between two steep mountain slopes, emerged in beautiful blue water, Af Tower contains two caves. The dive usually begins from the entrance of deeper cave. You will see many types of fish emerging from the hollows in a cave that extends up to 7 meters; Plenty of groupers and streams of Brown meager. As you swim you enter the second cave through a large opening. This cave is known as Turkish Bath, the great walls are lined with red anemone. Light streams through the top of the 6-meter-deep cave.

SCLT Public Presentation Team Visit Blackwood Active Stroke Group
Thursday 20th September 2018 has seen SCLT volunteer Jon Williams joining the weekly meeting of the Blackwood Active Stroke Group at the Cefn Glas Sheltered Housing Complex in Blackwood, where he facilitated an interactive session on avoiding financial abuse from scams and frauds for the 30+ attendees at the event.
The award-winning stroke support group was set up several years ago as a support group for people affected by stroke, and became a registered charity in 2009. It was developed by stroke survivors who found they had no one to turn to when they were released from hospital and wanted to further their rehabilitation. The aim of the group is to help people with their physical and social rehabilitation, in a safe and friendly environment, where members can discuss their issues and concerns.
The original group logo was a locked padlock which signified members feelings of being locked out of their previous lifestyle. Today the group logo is an unlocked padlock to signify that the members new lifestyle can be greatly enhanced through group encouragement and self-motivation to unlock their future potential. There is a varied activity programme which is member led, to enhance the mind, body and spirit and often includes guest speakers on a variety of interesting subjects.
The group meets every Thursday morning between 10 am and 12 noon at the Cefn Glas Sheltered Housing Complex in Blackwood. Meetings are open to stroke survivors - to become a member of Blackwood Active Stroke Group, you must be able to attend to your own personal care needs, or be accompanied by a carer who can. Wheelchair users are welcome with their carers, and are encouraged to participate in all our activities.
Following his presentation, Jon commented, "It is great to see so many people here today for this presentation on avoiding financial abuse. It is a pleasure to join this thriving group of like-minded seniors who enjoy meeting every week and learning new things, as well as simply catching up with friends and planning ahead for trips and holidays together. It is a truly fantastic way to stay engaged and combat loneliness in later life. Today has been my first visit to see the folks of Blackwood Active Stroke Group and I sincerely look forward to returning again in the future"
Every member of the audience received a personal copy of the award-winning Senior Siren magazine, which contains advice about staying safe in later life, as well as lots of interesting lifestyle features, such as recipes, personality interviews, short stories and games & puzzles

Personality Disorder Not Otherwise Specified
Sujata Iyer
Jul 30, 2020
Heard the term personality disorder not otherwise specified, but never really understood what it means? Well, let's see if this story can help you out with that.
The human mind is full of twists and turns, some of them harmless and some of them quite dangerous, not only for the person himself, but also for the people around him. Psychology studies the human mind and has been quite successful in deciphering many mental conditions and helping to make sufferers' lives easier.
Diagnosing someone with a mental illness, especially one like a personality disorder, is something that needs a lot of practice, experience and an immense knowledge of not only the disease, but also of the person's 'personality'. And most times, experts are bang-on when they diagnose people with certain personality disorders.
However, there is always a catch, a tiny glitch that befuddles even the brightest of minds. In case of psychologists and psychiatrists, it is a Personality Disorder Not Otherwise Specified or Personality Disorder-NOS or simply PDNOS. Just reading the name must have given rise to a lot of questions in your head. Let's read ahead to understand it better.
What is a Personality Disorder?
In order to understand what a Personality Disorder-NOS is, get acquainted with what a personality disorder is. A person is said to be suffering from a personality disorder if he exhibits behavior that tends to interfere with his ability to lead a normal and functional life in society. These symptoms can be divided into mood and behavior symptoms.
His mood includes how he appears to be, what he believes in and how his experiences make him react. His behavior is whether he is aggressive, or silent or menacing or has a loud and strong disposition, etc. People with a personality disorder are seen to have trouble with emotions, relationships, behavior, etc.
Because he cannot function in a normal society, and has a view and temperament that is not in sync with the general society, his personality is affected and he can become a threat to himself and the people around him.
What is a Personality Disorder Not Otherwise Specified
There are many types of personality disorders which affect people, each with different symptoms and treatment options. However, sometimes it also happens that when a person is in the process of being diagnosed with a particular personality disorder, it is noticed that he exhibits symptoms of more than one personality disorder.
This symptomatic behavior can be diagnosed if he has
the symptoms of more than one particular personality disorder. However, he exhibits a few symptoms of one personality disorder, and a few of another personality disorder as well.
For instance, he exhibits symptoms like absolute perfectionism which can lean towards an obsessive compulsive disorder, and at the same time also exhibit symptoms like extreme paranoia which may indicate a paranoid personality disorder. He may or may not exhibit any other symptomatic behavior of these disorders.
This leaves the psychiatrist in a confusion of what to diagnose him with. Hence, the American Psychiatrist Association, in their Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (or DSM) IV have made a provision for diagnosing such patients with a PDNOS.
This means the patient shows symptoms of a personality disorder, or a combination of more than one, but not all symptoms of said disorders, and hence cannot be diagnosed with either of them. So, a third category is made altogether and the patients are placed in it. There are parameters, the person must fulfill to be categorized under the PDNOS tag though.
He must be diagnosed with a personality disorder in the general meaning of the term. Plus, his functional behavior in society must be impaired in the sense that he must have difficulty in making and maintaining relationships, dealing with people, may be physically violent with himself and may pose a threat to people around him, and other such criteria.
The causes of a PDNOS cannot be pinpointed, but they are generally accepted to be the same as those for other personality disorders. Emotional turbulence during childhood, sexual or physical abuse, genetic problems, etc. can lead to somatogenic disorders which is one of the leading symptoms of a PDNOS.
Treatment options are decided by the consulting psychiatrist and generally revolve around the treating of each individual personality disorder.
So, now the idea of a PDNOS must be a little clearer than when you began reading this write-up. If you know of someone who may be suffering from any kind of personality disorder, get help for them before it's too late.

Can you handle the truthiness? Taking Care of Baby, a 2007 play by British writer Dennis Kelly, is about how hard it is for humans to accept the idea that truth is relative. If you can get past the slipperiness of its own form, it will provide that rare experience – a night at the theatre that is both brain-expanding and hair-raising.
Kelly is known, of late, for his book for the hit musical adaptation of Roald Dahl's Matilda – playing in New York and London and coming soon to a Mirvish theatre near you. But don't bring the kids to this one. "The following has been taken word for word from interviews and correspondence," a voice-over and television screen tells us at the start of Birgit Schreyer Duarte's inventive indie production at the Storefront Theatre.
Taking Care of Baby's main interview subjects are Donna McAuliffe (Miranda Calderon), a woman dubbed the "double death mom" in the tabloids, jailed for murdering her two children; Lynn (Astrid Van Wieren), Donna's mother and a one-time Labour politician who is attempting a political comeback after this personal tragedy; and Dr. Millard (the excellent Richard Clarkin), a psychologist who believes that Donna suffers from what he calls Leeman-Keatley Syndrome – and deserves treatment, not incarceration.
Matters get more meta with a couple of other characters. Donna's estranged husband Martin (Dylan Trowbridge) appears – only to read out letters refusing to be involved in this "entertainment" about his hellish reality. Then, Kelly becomes part of the play as well – as an off-stage voice. Before you start Googling the exact details of the McAuliffe case, beware: Taking Care of Baby is billed as a "fake documentary play" and, in Schreyer Duarte's production, there is no attempt to trick the audience. The director welcomes your disbelief – and in her director's note criticizes real verbatim theatre for having "always claimed to offer audiences something as close as possible to the 'truth,' namely, 'reality.' "
I found this framing of the show problematic to say the least. Most verbatim and documentary theatre takes great pains to be transparent about its own truthiness – with playwrights almost always appearing as characters in their own plays, probing their own biases and drawing attention to the limitations of their research. In its theatricality, the form itself – more than film documentary and certainly reality TV – invites skepticism.
Taking Care of Baby doesn't really feel like any verbatim play I have seen, for that matter. It comprises monologues that are gripping but heightened – and never for a moment seem anything less than artfully composed.
To my mind, Kelly has mainly crafted a thought-provoking and suspenseful mystery (albeit a metatheatrical one). Details about Donna and the other characters are delivered in tantalizing drips, the action constantly re-framed by each new revelation.
For instance, Donna seems like a monster until we consider that she may be sick. (Calderon's measured performance is impressively impossible to get a firm grip on.) After the research behind Leeman-Keatley Syndrome is called into question,you may wonder to what extent do we let our sympathies be led by experts, journalists and judges – all humans, all fallible.
A tabloid journalist (a wonderfully spiky Craig Lauzon) who is a self-proclaimed sex addict appears to further underline this theme. Does our society use the narratives or metaphors of "illness" or "disease" to relieve people of responsibility for their actions and to make us feel safer from the possibility of evil?
In the depiction of Lynn, there is even more trickery at hand, preying on our natural suspicion of politicians. Van Wieren delivers an extroverted performance that gradually reveals its complexity.
Schreyer Duarte gets almost uniformly strong performances from her actors – and her staging is occasionally fussy, but underlines many of the play's themes in a creative manner, playing with our perceptions with microphones and video screens. Pay attention for flashed subliminal images that riff on "Double Death." Never has a clip of Darkwing Duck been employed so horrifically. The terror that flaps in the night, indeed.
Also now on stage:
There are two unusual musical theatre options on the menu in Toronto at the moment. Chelsea Hotel: The Songs of Leonard Cohen, a creation of director and choreographer Tracey Power, has been playing to sell-out audiences since it was created at the Firehall Arts Centre in Vancouver in 2012. It has now arrived at Theatre Passe Muraille as a presentation of Theatre 20.
A Cohen-esque poet and songwriter (Jonathan Gould) sits in a room in the Chelsea Hotel – where it is written on the walls that " you go to heaven once you've been to hell." Amid mounds of crumpled-up paper, this figure is visited by visions – two men, three women, all in white make-up, who seem to be ghosts, demons, muses, past lovers and possessed puppets. This sextet acts, sings, dances and plays all the instruments in a two-hour concert-cabaret that wends its way from Suzanne to Hallelujah.
To this Cohen fan, the whole enterprise seemed a mismatch of aesthetics. Cohen's wry humour is undermined by the broad clowning; the wit of his lyrics clashes with the whimsy of the Marshall McMahen and Barbara Clayden's designs; his poetry is undercut by overly literal choreography; and the sexiness of the songs is often sabotaged by the silliness of the staging. What can I say: Kazoos shaped like cigars don't scream Cohen to me.
But an overly frenetic first half gives way to a more palatable second as the characters become less hazily defined. The most resonant moments are the stillest ones, such as Sean Cronin's straightforward, sad singing of Famous Blue Raincoat. (Still, did we need the umbrellas?) Gould's singing is the solidest of an uneven bunch. "I was born like this, I had no choice – I was born with the gift of a golden voice," he says with melisma, the joke lost, but made up for in musicality. The audience members next to me on opening night seemed delirious about the whole affair.
I had a better time at One Night Only: The Greatest Musical Never Written, currently renting space at the Factory Theatre. Six improvisers (alumni of Second City or MadTV all), two back-up singers and a five-piece band make up a tune on the spot based on audience suggestions. Poorly executed, this could be excruciating. But this is a well-assembled troupe for long-form musical improv – with the whip-smart Jan Caruana and sensitive Alex Tindal mining emotional truth, and Ron Pederson and Reid Janisse letting loose as smarty-pants clowns. (Ashley Botting and Carly Heffernan round out the cast.)
The night I went, the suggested setting was Momofuku, a trendy noodle bar – which sparked off a musical romance that was also a very funny satire of the city's foodie culture. Caruana lifted every scene up a level – and the band led by Jordan Armstrong on keyboard showed off equally impressive improvisational skills. I can't speak for any future performances, of course.

Triple H was recently interviewed by CBS Sports' In This Corner podcast in which he discussed the change in direction for the 205 Live brand. Below are the highlights:
"I think it's a work in progress," said Triple H. "I think we did the 'Cruiserweight Classic' and it was an excitement and an opportunity. We jumped on making it into its own show, but I don't know if that was totally just kind of thought out in the right way or done in the right way. I think we made an attempt at it that. Vince will say a lot that the business is like flavors – chocolate and vanilla – and not everyone is going to agree on the flavors. So we went in the direction of a certain flavor. We gave them vanilla and people weren't buying the flavor of vanilla, so we went back to chocolate and people are seeming to like that again."
"The great thing about [WWE] is we can change them on a dime," said Triple H. "We can put it in a different direction, and if people don't like something, just keep watching [because] we are probably going to get you there. We are probably going to get you to a place that works for everyone. That is the intent. I think 205 continues to be a work in progress. I'm excited about that opportunity for all of the athletes there because, for a lot of them, there was no road in front of them. There was no big path, and it was doing what they were doing but this opened up doors for them. Hopefully it will continue to grow, much like NXT has, much like the [United Kingdom efforts] will and all of that. I think there is tremendous opportunity and in some way we are just kind of nicking the surface of where we will be."
