In this reflective blog, Emily explores how putting yourself first is essential to your wider well-being and how it impacts others too. - Emily Askew Throughout my entire life - education, relationships, work - I’ve always given everything my all, throwing myself into situations feet-first, and often blind to how deep the hole truly is.

Choosing your words carefully is an important element to Authentic Leadership. Actually, it’s important to every relationship you have. Your words have the power to influence and impact people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The way you communicate can either build or damage relationships. It can affect how people perceive you and your message.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Asking for help is an essential skill that can make a significant difference in your personal and professional life. Before we go any further I want to emphasize one word in that first sentence. Skill! Yes, asking for help is a skill. The most successful people are simply better at it than less successful people. One way they achieved success is by not flailing around trying to figure out problems on their own when help was readily available.
