Download or read book How Non Permanent Workers Learn and Develop written by Helen Bound and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Non-Permanent Workers Learn and Develop is an empirically based exploration of the challenges and opportunities non-permanent workers face in accessing quality work, learning, developing occupational identities and striving for sustainable working lives. Based on a study of 100 non-permanent workers in Singapore, it offers a model to guide thinking about workers’ learning and development in terms of an ‘integrated practice’ of craft, entrepreneurial and personal learning-to-learn skills. The book considers how strategies for continuing education and training can better fit with the realities of non-permanent work. Through its use of case studies, the book exams the significance of non-permanent work and its rise as a global phenomenon. It considers the reality of being a non-permanent worker and reactions to learning opportunities for these individuals. The book draws these aspects together to present a conceptual frame of ‘integrated practices’, challenging educational institutions and training providers to design and deliver learning and the enacted curriculum not as separate pieces of a puzzle, but as an integrated whole. With conclusions that have wider salience for public policy responses to the rise of non-permanent work, this book will be of great interest to academics and researchers in the fields of adult education, educational policy and lifelong learning.

Download or read book The Happiness Advantage written by Shawn Achor and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • An engaging, deeply researched guide to flourishing in a world of increasing stress and negativity—the inspiration for one of the most popular TED Talks of all time “Powerful [and] charming . . . A book for just about anyone . . . The philosophies in this book are easily the best wire frames to build a happy and successful life.”—Medium Happiness is not the belief that we don’t need to change; it is the realization that we can. Our most commonly held formula for success is broken. Conventional wisdom holds that once we succeed, we’ll be happy; that once we get that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But the science reveals this formula to be backward: Happiness fuels success, not the other way around. Research shows that happy employees are more productive, more creative, and better problem solvers than their unhappy peers. And positive people are significantly healthier and less stressed and enjoy deeper social interaction than the less positive people around them. Drawing on original research—including one of the largest studies of happiness ever conducted—and work in boardrooms and classrooms across forty-two countries, Shawn Achor shows us how to rewire our brains for positivity and optimism to reap the happiness advantage in our lives, our careers, and even our health. His strategies include: • The Tetris Effect: how to retrain our brains to spot patterns of possibility so we can see and seize opportunities all around us • Social Investment: how to earn the dividends of a strong social support network • The Ripple Effect: how to spread positive change within our teams, companies, and families By turns fascinating, hopeful, and timely, The Happiness Advantage reveals how small shifts in our mind-set and habits can produce big gains at work, at home, and elsewhere.
Download or read book CanalWatch written by Ken Rivard and published by Mosaic Press. This book was released on 2022-12-02 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major collection of superb "flash fiction" writing by one of Canada's best authors. Ken Rivard has published two collections of poetry and eight collections of fiction during his literary career. "CanalWatch is a collection of flash fiction written over numerous visits to Ohau, the man made waterway in Honolulu which serves as the dividing line of Waikiki on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Each story is based on the passing image of a particular person, place, event, object or overheard conversation (whether real or imagined ) in or around the La Wai Canal. Readers are invited to sit in the brief story moment of each flash fiction peice. Most times each narrative turns back on itself with the first line of this story also becoming the last line, resulting in a kind of story portrait...Occasionally, readers may be asked to suspend their disbelief. Other times, the point in time being described may appear to be too real to be untrue. Often, a particular idea or image simply asks "what if?" Then the story takes off and brings the readers along for the ride. Enjoy the "what if's" and the "not so what if's." - Ken Rivard, from the IntroductionCritical Acclaim for Ken Rivard"Rivard's writing is honest, refreshing, startling, imaginative and gets the reader emotionally involved..." - W.P. Kinsella"A master of imagery...once again Rivard treats these personal subjects with humanity." - Wendy RaJalka, Calgary Herald"Amazing collection...Such thought-provoking portraits ...render the reader party to intense moments in private life..." - Virginia Gilllham, Canadian Book Review Annual"The most impressive of Rivard's work is its tendency towards a surrealistic, dream-like quality." - Bob Attridge, Newest Review."I was born and raised on a working-class Montreal street inhabited more by rats than people. We were surrounded by fields, factories, railroad tracks and trains where, as

A final section discusses hope in occupational applications: how the use of hope can make one a better coach, teacher, or parent. - Defines hope as a construct and describes development of hope through the lifespan - Provides multiple instruments for measuring hope - Guides professionals in how to assess hope levels & implement hope as part of therapy - Relates hope to all portions of the population - Includes case studies, figures, and tables to aid understanding of research findings and concepts; discusses the importance of hope to relationships, achieving goals, and success at work

Download or read book Pathways to Personal Freedom Using the Silva Method written by Diana Silva and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2019-01-30 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pathways to Personal Freedom using the Silva Method is a compilation of fifty ideas to help uncover the ways of inner bliss that lay dormant within each of us. Happiness and Personal Freedom are concepts that most of us have taken for granted. Society teaches us to please others; look for approval and acceptance from others; check in with those who “know better” than we do; allow our negative thoughts to overtake our actions, our way of life and even health. Each Pathway starts with a quote to encourage thinking and inspiration to bring about a spark of insight that is already known but may have been forgotten along the way. What follows are suggestions and examples from the authors’ lives and experiences as to how to achieve bliss and inner harmony. Each will end with an affirmation to be recited in the present time to instill the ideas as if they are already in place and to help enhance this new way of thinking. Some of these ideas may be new and even foreign—but they have stood the test of time and used by many throughout the world. Jose Silva, Sr. was a pioneer in the study and application of mind control. His youngest daughter, Diana Silva-Mendez and coauthor, Robert Deutchman have put together this labor of love for the benefit of Silva Method enthusiasts, trainers, Silva graduates, and to all who seek to tap into their inner wisdom.
