Thank you for the video idea! Navigating rage is such a complex topic, but hopefully there is something here that helps. ❤ Please feel free to ask more questions or share your thoughts in the comments on other perspectives you think people need to consider. ruclips.net/video/n5XjRhzvudw/видео.htmlsi=rZ6bC2L5162IRz0o

That is an excellent point. There are times in life when the person we are trying to resolve a conflict with is abusive or otherwise dangerous in some way. If interacting with someone could lead to being harmed, wanting to harm them, or wanting to harm yourself, it is best to seek the help of someone who can assist in keeping everyone safe before initiating further discussions. This particular video focused on gossip is intended to address when people complain to others out of a lack of knowledge that speaking directly with the source of a problem is more socially constructive or complain to others because it is easier than facing the discomfort of having more direct conversations. I appreciate that you raised the broader concept of safety here. Conflict resolution skills are both simple and complex and built over time. Your comment helps to highlight the element of safety as a critical part of the process! Cheers!

Ha! There are a lot of instructors who sympathize! It's such a distinct sound when a participant goes all out, drops their weight down extra hard, or rolls off the side of the chest and you hear that crackle of the joints coming loose. Or of the resistance coil enclosure cracking. So fabulously portable but also needs to come with a screwdriver and duct tape. :)

@@lindsaywalton hahahaha so true. I purchased the 12 pack when they first came out. I travel a lot, so it seemed they would work because they are so light, but the trade off of having to take it apart all the time is just not worth it.

Hi Mel, thank you for commenting! At the two-minute mark I'm highlighting topics that I've addressed in greater depth in posts on LinkedIn including how to identify whether your non-profit is resilient or fragile, identifying if you have a Bare Bones or Spark plan in place (ie. Do you know how to take fears of closing your doors off the table for good), are you at risk of a class action lawsuit due to outdated legacy fund practices, etc. I'm definitely not promoting my LinkedIn (it's my least favorite platform :P), but it is where you can find critical information sooner rather than later as I haven't created RUclips videos on these subjects yet. If any of those topics are of particular interest to you, please feel free to let me know. I'm happy to prioritize content creation based on viewer interests! Cheers :)

Far from, he knows what he's doing and what's ahead, by design

I think what you've noted is absolutely how a lot of people feel about Macklem's comments regarding interest rates and whether we're going to enter a textbook definition of a recession or not. That category of Public Relations speak (predictions/placating) is absolutely a lot of saying something while saying nothing and can make it look like the leader of a massive financial institution just keeps getting it wrong. What concerns me is that another role Public Relations plays is in regards to reduced liability, wording warnings in such a way that doesn't spark panic (so subtle the warning can be missed entirely), but also allows an organization to say 'we told you' or 'you were given warning', which is a game of liability. The fact that a Public Relations professional raised the *need to be prepared for a sharp correction* is notable. It's a different category of Public Relations speech. Predictions/Placating vs Now You're Liable, Not Us.

You're welcome! :)

Thank you for the recommendation! I just checked out the details and added it to my shopping list for my next round of reads. Cheers!

I'm glad they were helpful! Thanks for commenting and letting me know. :) Cheers!

Thanks Daniel, I hope you enjoy the book!

I'm glad the video helped!

Glad you asked! I've encountered people of many faiths and referred to the Deity they believe in rather than referring to who they may follow specifically.

That's great! Hoping fabulous things happen for them and for the dynamics in class and the broader school. Cheers!

But if you consciously recognize that, it means you can do something about it! Make a point of making your life and what you think about more interesting. Pursue the things in life you are curious about and you'll be able to talk about new ideas and skills and places, all that have to do with what You are up to. I think you have some fabulous new adventures ahead of you <3

That's a really good question. Sometimes expressing your boundaries and expectations out loud to others in general helps to put a stop to things when you don't know the specific source of a particular problem. When people in your circle simply hear you express, for example, that you expect people who have an issue with you to speak with you directly about the problem, the unknown source can end up changing their behaviour as a result when word reaches them, putting an end to anonymous notes being left taped around the office. We often create change in others' behaviour by changing our own and it's nice to know that we can trust that process when we have no idea who to approach directly to start a constructive conversation. I hope that helps. If I've misunderstood your question please feel free to let me know and I'll see what else I can share.

@@lindsaywalton Good. Thanks Lindsay.

The name John Maxwell doesn't ring a bell. I'm always happy for recommendations and will look into him! Any particular book(s) you would say are priorities to check out?

@@lindsaywalton hey Lindsay! Thank you so much for your generous reply and offering! Well; it’s a big book but you could check out www.goodreads.com/book/show/815716.The_21_Irrefutable_Laws_of_Leadership Or maybe a short one called How successful people think; it can be read in an hour.

The idea of creating a team agreement is an excellent one! It sounds like you already know about the concept, but if you would like to learn more you can Google how to create a team contract, full value contract, or group charter. These are all common names for that process of inviting everyone to say what they want and need in order to feel like their work/school/etc is a safe place to be. The facilitator can specifically raise the subject of gossip and ask what the group's expectations are on the subject. On a side note, I'm glad you mentioned email! The BCC function is for newsletters only, but many people use it to blind copy someone on an email which allows them to share private information without other people on the thread knowing, which is a great way to have situations blow up. The CC function ensures everyone sees exactly who is participating in the conversation and seeing the email contents which supports the healthiest problem solving and team dynamics.
