Title: Headings: SUMMARY ACT 51 OF THE PUBLIC ACTS OF 1951, AS AMENDED “ACT 51 MADE SIMPLE” August 2000 [Sec. 10] Comprehensive Transportation Fund [Sec. 10b and e] Jurisdictional Road Networks State Trunklines [Sec. 1]: County Primary and Local Roads [Sec. 2, 3, 4 and 5]: Transfer of mileage between jurisdictions Formulas and Priorities of Funding Content: 31.5 per cent of Michigan’s Minimum Guarantee apportionment. Nearly a third of this aid, which would otherwise be combined with the rest of Michigan’s federal aid, is distributed to the TEDF, with 16.5 per cent earmarked for projects in 78 rural counties and 15 per cent for capacity improvements in the five most urban counties. Comprehensive Transportation Fund [Sec. 10b and e] Act 51 creates the Comprehensive Transportation Fund (CTF). Its purpose is to provide funds for planning, programming, operation and construction of public transportation systems, in accordance with the policies of the State Transportation Commission. The CTF receives 6.975 per cent of the sales tax on motor-vehicle-related items and approximately 8.5 per cent of net revenues in MTF. The first priority for use of CTF monies is debt service. Administrative expenses inflation). are restricted to not more than was used for administration in 1987 (after correcting for Most of the remaining CTF money is distributed to local transit agencies for operating and capital grants for public transportation. Not less than 10 per cent is to be used for intercity passenger and freight service.

Title: Headings: ARSENIC IN WELL WATER ARSENIC IN WELL WATER Guidance Introduction How do I have my well water tested for arsenic? Arsenic Exposure Health Risk Factors Human Health Effects of Arsenic Exposure Interpreting Water Sample Results What to do if you have Arsenic in your Drinking Water Additional Resources Content: contact with water (showering, laundering, washing dishes, etc.) is not a risk. Health Risk Factors If you have been exposed to arsenic, several factors will determine your health risk. These factors are: Dose – The amount of arsenic in your body Duration – How long and how often your body has been exposed to arsenic Type of arsenic – Whether your body has been exposed to inorganic or organic arsenic General health, age, lifestyle, and diet – Some people may be affected by lower levels of arsenic while others remain unaffected at the same levels. Young children, the elderly, people with long-term illnesses, and unborn babies are at greater risk, as they can be more sensitive to exposure. 800-662-9278 www.Michigan.gov/EGLE 07/2019 ARSENIC IN WELL WATER – GUIDANCE Human Health Effects of Arsenic Exposure The way arsenic affects our bodies is not fully understood. Long-term exposure to low levels of inorganic arsenic in drinking water is known to cause human health problems including: cancer, thickening and discoloration of the skin, problems with blood vessels, high blood pressure, heart disease, nerve effects including numbness and/or pain, and interference with some important cell functions. Short-term exposure to very high levels of arsenic may cause stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, weakness, and even death;

Moore - July 14, 2020 Justin Sullivan/Getty Images The $600 weekly federal unemployment insurance benefits meant to stimulate the national economy during the COVID-19 pandemic expire on July 31. Unless Congress extends those payments, the state could lose a boost in jobs, personal incomes and gross domestic product (GDP) over the next year, according to research from the Washington, D.C.-based Economic Policy Institute (EPI). For Michigan, an extension of Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) benefits to mid-2021 means 194,520 jobs would be retained. The state’s GDP, or the total value of goods and services provided in one year, would increase by 6.6%. “If these benefits aren’t extended, what you’re going to see is just incredibly depressed demand for goods and services,” said Julia Wolfe, EPI state economic analyst. If more people halt spending because they are not receiving benefits, that can trickle down to create insufficient demand for goods and services. Lesser demand from households, businesses and governments constrains economic growth. If businesses are not turning a profit or making enough money to cover operating expenses, that increases their chances of economic turmoil — which can result in pay cuts, layoffs and closures. State unemployment rate falls slightly to 21.2% in May State unemployment rate falls slightly to 21.2% in May – Michigan Advance State unemployment rate falls slightly to 21.2% in May Michigan’s seasonally adjusted jobless rate fell to 21.2% in May during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to new data released Wednesday by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB). That is down from April’s 24% revised jobless rate.

Extending the weekly $600 unemployment insurance benefits to mid-2021 would add 5.1 million workers and increase the national gross domestic product (GDP) by 3.7%, according to EPI, which conducted individual analyses on incomes, GDP and employment on all 50 states. The CARES Act, an extensive piece of COVID-19 relief passed by Congress in March, notably expanded the federal unemployment insurance program and its benefits. Not all states had that capability to do that with their own programs. Michigan’s jobless rate last stood at 21.2% in May, according to the Department of Management, Technology and Budget (DTMB). About 11% of the workforce collects regular unemployment benefits through the state. But Michigan also has the fourth-most Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) claims of any state or number of claimants, according to Wolfe. “We have 1.1 million people claiming just this specific type of unemployment insurance alone, which is not necessarily a bad reflection on Michigan,” Wolfe said. “ In fact, it’s just a reflection that they are responding to this crisis by expanding the benefits to people who really need it.”

Motive of Profit: Profit is an important element of capitalism Investment tends to take the direction in which there is more possibility of profit. If the producers feel that they can obtain greater profit by the production of comfortable goods they will be inclined to do so without caring what people actually need. 11. Competition: Competition among sellers and buyers is an essential feature of an ideal capitalist system. Competition reduces market imperfections and associated problems. Therefore, in a free market economy, a sufficient amount of competition is considered necessary if the whole production and distribution process is to be regulated by market forces.

These include: References Links Content: Whereas some of the species in this group are capable of photosynthesis (photosynthetic Eubacteria), a majority are chemoheterotrophs and thus obtain nutrients from their surroundings. Being Gram-positive bacteria, these species retain the primary color (Crystal violet dye) during Gram staining and thus appear violet in color when viewed under the microscope. This is because they contain a thick peptidoglycan layer compared to Gram-negative species. They vary in morphology from cocci species that are spherical in shape (e.g. Staphylococcus) to rod-like species (bacilli) such as Listeria . Depending on the specie, Gram-positive bacteria can be found in different types of aquatic (marine and freshwater) and terrestrial environments. In the environment, various species (e.g. Mycoplasmas and Actinomycetes) have been shown to form endospores. While many of the species are parasitic and capable of causing diseases in animals, some of the species (e.g. Actinomycetes) are beneficial in that they produce medically relevant compounds such as antibiotics . 3D medical animation still showing Staphylococcus Bacteria by www.scientificanimations.com / CC BY-SA (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0) Major Characteristics of Eubacteria Metabolism Because of the diversity of species classified under the domain Eubacteria and the fact that they are found in a wide range of habitats, they have been shown to display a higher diversity in their energetic sources and metabolic pathways when compared to eukaryotes.

A good example of this is bacteria species that oxidize nitrates or methane. In the process, they also play an important role in converting various material into useable compounds. Using such compounds as ammonia, nitrifying bacteria produce nitrates that are used by plants to make proteins and amino acids etc. Some of the main nutritional modes of different species in the domain Eubacteria include: · Autotrophic - Produce their own food through photosynthetic processes · Heterotrophic - Obtain nutrients from their environment (because they are unable to synthesize their own food) · Strictly or facultatively aerobic - Survive in the presence of oxygen (strict aerobes) or can switch to anaerobic respiration in the absence of oxygen ( facultative anaerobes) · Strictly or facultatively anaerobic - Survive in the absence of oxygen (strict anaerobes) or can survive with or without oxygen (facultative anaerobes) For Eubacteria, diversity in the modes of metabolism is also due to the wide variety of chemical compounds that serve as substrates as well as the ability to produce energy in different environmental conditions. Whereas various photosynthetic forms require oxygen for photosynthesis, others can depend on fermentation processes for energy and only grow well in the absence of oxygen.

Depending on the species, helminths may exist as parasites (that affect both human beings and animals) or as free-living organisms that live in nature. Compared to such organisms as protozoa (that also exist as parasites and as free-living organisms), helminths are multicellular organisms that not only have differentiated/specialized systems, but also complex life cycles that go through several stages before reaching maturity. The following are examples of helminths: Giant roundworm Threadworm Pinworm Roundworm Necator Americanus Toxocara cati Classification SuSanA Secretariat on Flickr.com. Unaltered. Helminth eggs: As follows left-right: Trichosomoides egg,Ascaris lumbricoides,adult roundworms,Hymenolepis nana,Schistosoma mansoni and Toxocara canis Kingdom: Animalia - Helminths are multicellular (eukaryotic) organisms and thus belong to kingdom Animalia.

Mental health conditions in the Middle East Depression Factors involved in causing depression Prevalence of depression in the Middle East and the contributing factors Treatment Prevention Conclusion Content: Keeping in view the Middle East, environmental factors play a major role in developing depression and anxiety. As mentioned above, this region is experiencing the highest rates of depression. Let us have a look at the factors that are contributing towards depression in the Arab World. Prevalence of depression in the Middle East and the contributing factors According to a recent study, the Arab World is facing greater problems of depression, compared to the rest of the World. The unique challenges faced by this region makes it the most depressive region throughout the World, some of which are discussed as follows: i) Stigmatization: Stigmatization of any mental health condition (in any region) worsens the problem. A society where mental health problem is associated with shame, disgrace, and disrespect and is considered as a taboo, people hesitate to talk about their mental health problems and are less likely to seek medical and psychological help. The internalization of the problems results in increasing mental stress, which ultimately leads towards clinical depression and even suicides in most of the cases. ii) Lack of mental health awareness and psychological help:

Settlements were built near the coastline and other bodies of water for ease of transportation and trade. Natural harbors led to the growth of trade in the English colonies. Geography , including regional differences in soils, rainfall, and growing seasons was the primary cause of economic differences among the colonies in North America. A result of the encounter between Europeans and Native Americans was that new diseases were spread to Native American populations. The first permanent English settlement at Jamestown was founded in 1607. Colonists in Jamestown expected to find riches. The Southern Colonies had the best soil and climate for large- scale agriculture. Slavery flourished more in the Southern Colonies than elsewhere. The need for agricultural workers in the tobacco fields led to the use of enslaved people from Africa.

Homemade Butter and Buttermilk using Heavy Cream Ingredients Instructions Hi Welcome! Content: You just need to stir in a small amount into your buttermilk. Then cover your container of buttermilk with cheesecloth or a cotton shirt so it gets air but keeps dust and particles out, and let it sit out and ferment for two to three days. You can also just use buttermilk as soon as you separate it from your butter fat, it will just taste more like milk than the more tart cultured buttermilk. Can I just add lemon juice or vinegar to the leftover milk to make buttermilk? You could and that’s a good hack if you don’t want to deal with culturing and all that. But it’s not true buttermilk. True buttermilk goes through a chemical process and produces a different taste and a thicker texture. When you culture your buttermilk, the fermentation process actually transforms lactose, or sugars found in the milk, into lactic acid. By the way, lactic acid is much easier to digest than lactose, which is appealing if you are lactose intolerant. So if you’re really after the authentic flavor and smooth, creamy texture of buttermilk, then culturing the milk leftover from making butter, is the way to go.

Title: Are Disability Insurance Premiums Deductible in Canada? | MileIQ Canada Headings: Are Disability Insurance Premiums Deductible in Canada? Are Disability Insurance Premiums Deductible in Canada? Disability insurance is mission-critical More disability insurance options available for the self-employed Disability insurance features and costs Buyer beware: Mortgage disability insurance Can I claim disability insurance premiums on my taxes? Disability insurance tips Are long-term disability insurance premiums tax deductible? Can I deduct disability insurance premiums as a business expense? What we’ve learned Marc Chaput Content: Disability insurance provides financial security. Knowing that insurance will cover your expenses if something serious happens to you brings peace of mind. It’s hard to save up for emergencies and unexpected life events when you own a business. Undoubtedly, relying on savings can help, but it’s a temporary solution. That’s why insurance is so important because a disability can be long-term or even permanent. Disability insurance is mission-critical Company group benefit plans provide employees with short-term and long-term disability insurance coverage. As an illustration, if you become ill or injured and can’t work, you could replace a significant part of your income (60%, 70%) with disability insurance benefits. But what if you’re a small business owner or self-employed? If you’re the sole breadwinner in your family, how would you cope without disability insurance? Without a doubt, disability insurance coverage will protect your income.

Title: F-16 Fighting Falcon | Military.com Headings: F-16 Fighting Falcon F-16 Fighting Falcon Design of the F-16 Fighting Falcon Inside the F-16 Fighting Falcon Background on the F-16 Fighting Falcon Why was the F-16 Fighting Falcon built? Content: The F-16B, a two-seat model, has tandem cockpits that are about the same size as the one in the A model. Its bubble canopy extends to cover the second cockpit. To make room for the second cockpit, the forward fuselage fuel tank and avionics growth space were reduced. During training, the forward cockpit is used by a student pilot with an instructor pilot in the rear cockpit. All F-16s delivered since November 1981 have built-in structural and wiring provisions and systems architecture that permit expansion of the multirole flexibility to perform precision strike, night attack and beyond-visual-range interception missions. This improvement program led to the F-16C and F-16D aircraft, which are the single- and two-place counterparts to the F-16A/B, and incorporate the latest cockpit control and display technology. All active units and many Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve units have converted to the F-16C/D. Why was the F-16 Fighting Falcon built? The F-16 fighting falcon was built under an unusual agreement creating a consortium between the United States and four NATO countries: Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway. These countries jointly produced with the United States an initial 348 F-16s for their air forces.

Don’t let it dominate our life.” – President Donald Trump “Go home, my darlings! Sleep tight!” – Reverend Jim Jones “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA.” (February 24, 2020) About The Author Reggie Jackson Content: At its peak there were thousands of members. As the media in San Francisco interviewed people who had become disenchanted with the People’s Temple and left, Jones became exceptionally paranoid. He convinced many to move to Guyana and build a town named in his honor, Jonestown. It was supposed to be an agricultural settlement where no one would have to worry about food or housing. The so-called utopian community would be troubled from the start. One third of those who drank the Kool-Aid and died were children. Jones had adopted several children of color and was a strong advocate for social justice in the 1960s. He had fought for integrated churches, neighborhoods, hospitals, movie theaters, and restaurants – building a strong following in the Black community. Jones promised to build a “rainbow community” according to one of the survivors, Teri Buford O’Shea. She fled Jonestown three weeks before the mass suicide.

It is not aimed at directly dealing with the death of a loved one, although its principles can generally be applied. Death can be an undeniably heart-wrenching experience. Even so, it is often our false perception about the finality of death that makes its pain so acute because of our ignorance. If you could change perception and see the Truth that death is a new beginning for those who have left the Physical Plane, rather than the final fall of a curtain, you would alleviate much of the pain that you may carry with you as a result of it. Indeed, death is a transition into a new Plane and perhaps one that is infinitely better than the Physical Plane, not the end. The Solution is to Change Beliefs As Albert Einstein said, "You can never solve a problem at the level at which it was created".

Title: What are mental health problems? | Mind, the mental health charity - help for mental health problems Headings: Mental health problems – an introduction Mental health problems – an introduction What are mental health problems? What's it like to have mental health problems? Am I the only one who feels this way? Different perspectives on mental health and mental illness Share this information Content: everybody has it and we need to take care of it. Good mental health means being generally able to think, feel and react in the ways that you need and want to live your life. But if you go through a period of poor mental health you might find the ways you're frequently thinking, feeling or reacting become difficult, or even impossible, to cope with. This can feel just as bad as a physical illness, or even worse. Mental health problems affect around one in four people in any given year. They range from common problems, such as depression and anxiety, to rarer problems such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. "I now know that if I felt there was something wrong, it's because there was, but I didn't understand mental health fully... it's a spectrum and you should feel able to decide where and when you [are] on that spectrum."

Title: How to Learn About Human Behavior - Mindcoolness Headings: How to Learn About Human Behavior How to Learn About Human Behavior The Politics of Human Behavior Four Ways to Learn About Human Behavior 1. Personal Experience 2. Philosophy 3. Psychology 4. Sociology & Economics Content: On the one hand, ‘nudging’ choice architects may positively influence people’s well-being (read Nudge by R. H. Thaler & C. R. Sunstein). On the other hand, most well-intended (or self-congratulatory) projects of social engineers turn out to be gross failures (read The Vision of the Anointed by Thomas Sowell), and these failures cannot be identified on the small-scale level of psychology. 4. Sociology & Economics On a large scale, we can study human behavior through the quantitative methods of sociology and economics. They give us insights about how humans behave not as individuals but as societies. Humans are members of classes, communities, cultures, and civilizations, and their behavior on these higher levels of analysis cannot be sufficiently predicted by psychological findings—just like individual behavior cannot be sufficiently predicted by neurological analyses. 1 Sociologists and economists produce evidence that is vital for political decision making, be it as a politician or as a voting citizen (read Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell). The problem with sociology and economics is that we usually disregard these fields in favor of the other three types of understanding human behavior, which leads us to make political decisions based on our personal experiences, our philosophical/ideological conception of human nature, and our knowledge of psychological facts. All these kinds of knowledge are valuable to an extent, but the prevailing source of guidance should always match the level of analysis: if we want to know what’s best for a human being, we shall study psychology (without forgetting the underlying biological drives);

Title: Online Training | LMS by Mindflash Headings: Online Training Online Training Build Online Training It Starts with Questions The Medium Changes the Message Content: Who is going to take this class? What should they already know, and what should they know after the course is over? How much time do I have with these students, and when? What sort of resources do I have for presenting the class, and them for taking it? The answers to these questions may be obvious to you, and all the better if they are. But the answers are the bedrock for writing up a syllabus (or even penciling out an outline, if the situation is more informal), making choices about materials, and developing methods for evaluating or grading trainees. The Medium Changes the Message Prior to e-learning technologies, educators and trainers would take the answers to the questions and begin to develop course materials. In retrospect, the choices look pretty limited: Syllabus and class schedule. Lectures, at least in outline form.

An outline of what lectures are going to be about can still be useful for organizing your thoughts, but can also be woven into the presentation materials for the class. Overhead transparencies are replaced with common forms of digital media (e.g., photos, audio recordings, PowerPoint presentations, movie clips, even actions on your own monitor ), which are much more portable and don’t require specialized materials. Additional information that’s not embedded in original course material can easily be distributed as e-mail attachments or linked to from within the coursework, and it’s up to each student to decide if printing to paper is even necessary. A good learning management system (LMS) will include a method for embedding quizzes into the online course materials, which should include a system for grading materials and notifying student of grades.

Shamash Alidina Content: 5 Ways to Build Resilience Every Day - Mindful 5 Ways to Build Resilience Every Day Discovering ways to adapt to what life throws at you makes you more able to cope. By Shamash Alidina August 2, 2016 Health ldep/Adobe Stock Resilience is the process of effectively coping with adversity—it’s about bouncing back from difficulties. The great thing about resilience is that it’s not a personality trait; it involves a way of paying attention, thinking, and behaving that anyone can learn. World-renowned neuroscientist Richard Davidson has found evidence that mindfulness does increase resilience, and the more mindfulness meditation you practice, the more resilient your brain becomes. The emotional soup that follows a stressful event can whip up negative stories about yourself or others that goes on and on, beyond being useful. For example, if you have an argument with your partner before leaving for work, you can end up replaying that conversation all day, which continues to proliferate anxiety or low mood far more than is necessary. Mindfulness reduces this rumination and, if practiced regularly, changes your brain so that you’re more resilient to future stressful events.

Where does perfectionism in kids come from? How can I help my child overcome perfectionism? 1. Be mindful of your language 2. Check your expectations 3. Focus on the process, not the outcome 4. Help your child set realistic goals 5. Challenge unhelpful thinking 6. Teach healthy coping skills 7. Celebrate failure 8. Be an “imperfect” role model 9. Have fun! Content: Check your expectations Of course, there’s nothing wrong with having high standards. We want our kids to try their hardest and reach their full potential. But be very clear that you don’t expect perfection. Pushing children to achieve perfection is demoralising and damaging to their self esteem. If your child feels you expect perfection, they will strive to reach it in order to gain your approval. Ensure your expectations are a match for your child’s personality, ability, and development. 3. Focus on the process, not the outcome Try to avoid praising your child for the end result. Don’t congratulate them for getting an A on their spelling test – instead acknowledge the effort and hard work that went into preparing for the test. This will help them strive to do their best and encourages them to approach challenging tasks, and take risks, regardless of what they think the outcome may be.

Concept Maps are already used in different domains, but their major role is in education. Concept mapping in teaching can help both the students and teachers alike in the following manner. They can act as a perfect visual aid and give teachers an edge while explaining something. We can break down even a complex topic in a simpler manner using concept maps. Since there are so many examples of concept maps for teachers, they can be used in different subjects like English, Biology, History, Geography, Math, etc. They explore the concepts that are already known and link it with a problem for better understanding. Concept maps are also extensively used in brainstorming as they boost self-learning and ideation. We can draw all kinds of connections and relationships in a concept map, making them less rigid and more dynamic. Teachers can connect a topic with different sub-topics, explore numerous domains, and resolve a complex issue with these diagrams.

Link: The Spaniards sent African slaves to the Americas to deal with the demand of the goods and foods. They spread the diseases Malaria and Yellow Fever to the tropical regions in the Caribbean. 7. Link: Many Spaniards migrated to the Americas after colonisation had begun. This lead to less diversity in the gene pool, however it repopulated the New World after the disease devestation. There were more Spanish and African slaves than the natives who originally lived there. This lead to the 'modern era' we know today. 8. Link: Demand in Europe increased and Spaniards established a slave trade to meet these needs. People became more interconnected with each other and many Europeans migrated to the Americas for a new life. This lead to the 'modern era' we know today. 9. Link: Corn, which is a New World food, has been the main source of food for animals for centuries, including today. In 2005, a survey showed that 58% of the corn growth in America went to animals.

Hindus, India's largest religious population, consider it unholy to eat beef. Most are also vegetarian. Muslims and Jews are forbidden to eat pork (and, in addition, Jews do not eat shellfish), and Roman Catholics may choose fish rather than red meat on Fridays. Body Language and Gestures In India, Africa, and the Middle East, people always use their right hand for greeting, touching, and eating. They consider the left hand unclean, so you should never use it for anything publicly. Several cultures consider crossing your legs to be rude. For example, in the Middle East and South Africa, crossed legs often show the sole of the foot, a sign of an ill wish or a bad omen. In Japan, it's considered rude to cross your legs in the presence of someone older or more respected than you. Certain gestures considered acceptable in one country can be highly offensive in another.

In the United States, a handshake demonstrates that negotiations are finished, and that everyone is leaving on good terms. In the Middle East, a handshake is a sign that serious negotiations are now beginning. In many cultures, pointing is impolite, so it's usually best to avoid it entirely.

It's important to identify your team's biggest challenges before you choose an exercise. By doing this, you can ensure that the event is more than just a nice day out of the office. For example, if you have noticed that poor communication has led to your team making mistakes or missing deadlines, you may want to select exercises that improve essential communication skills like listening, empathy and verbalization. Some team building activities encourage creativity and develop leadership , while others strengthen problem-solving abilities and build your team's planning and strategy skills.

Title: Humility - Leadership Training from MindTools.com Headings: Humility Humility The Most Beautiful Word in the English Language Content: I have learned through the lives of great leaders," he said, "that greatness comes from humility and being at times, self-effacing." Free Positive Leadership Toolkit Learn to motivate and inspire your team with this FREE toolkit when you join the Club before May 31. Find Out More Clearly these leaders, and many others like them, don't espouse the meaning of humility as "meek". On the contrary, it is a source of their strength. But the notion of being self-effacing is one that we struggle with in our competitive culture, prescribing that we take every opportunity to toot our own horn, and that we don't dare leave the house without our dynamic elevator speech all rehearsed. We often confuse humility with timidity. Humility is not clothing ourselves in an attitude of self-abasement or self-denigration. Humility is all about maintaining our pride about who we are, about our achievements, about our worth – but without arrogance – it is the antithesis of hubris, that excessive, arrogant pride which often leads to the derailment of some corporate heroes, as it does with the downfall of the tragic hero in Greek drama. It's about a quiet confidence without the need for a meretricious selling of our wares. It's about being content to let others discover the layers of our talents without having to boast about them.

It's a lack of arrogance, not a lack of aggressiveness in the pursuit of achievement. An interesting dichotomy is that, often, the higher people rise, the more they have accomplished, the higher the humility index. Those who achieve the most brag the least, and the more secure they are in themselves, the more humble they are. " True merit, like a river, the deeper it is, the less noise it makes". ( Edward Frederick Halifax).

Title: Humility - Leadership Training from MindTools.com Headings: Humility Humility The Most Beautiful Word in the English Language Content: Another mark of a leader who practices humility is his or her treatment of others. Such leaders treat everyone with respect regardless of position. Years ago, I came across this reference: the sign of a gentleman is how he treats those who can be of absolutely no use to him. Something interesting happens, too, when we approach situations from a perspective of humility: it opens us up to possibilities, as we choose open-mindedness and curiosity over protecting our point of view. We spend more time in that wonderful space of the beginner's mind, willing to learn from what others have to offer. We move away from pushing into allowing, from insecure to secure, from seeking approval to seeking enlightenment. We forget about being perfect and we enjoy being in the moment. Here are a few suggestions on practicing humility:

Here are a few suggestions on practicing humility: There are times when swallowing one's pride is particularly difficult and any intentions of humility fly out the window, as we get engaged in a contest of perfection, each side seeking to look good. If you find yourself in such no-win situations, consider developing some strategies to ensure that the circumstances don't lead you to lose your grace. Try this sometimes: just stop talking and allow the other person to be in the limelight. There is something very liberating in this strategy.

Title: Humility - Leadership Training from MindTools.com Headings: Humility Humility The Most Beautiful Word in the English Language Content: every time you share credit for successes with others, you reinforce the ethos for your constituents. Consider mentoring or coaching emerging leaders on this key attribute of leadership. There are many benefits to practicing humility, to being in a state of non-pretence: it improves relationships across all levels, it reduces anxiety, it encourages more openness and paradoxically, it enhances one's self-confidence. It opens a window to a higher self. For me, it replaces "windowsill" as the most beautiful word in the English language. Copyright © 2009-2021 by Bruna Martinuzzi. All Rights Reserved.
