Having empathy helps us to build social connections.

Just recently John and I published a second edition of our original book 'Speak Up'. It is called 'Speak Out, Listen Up; How to have conversations that matter'. In this conversation we are summarising the key changes in the world of 'speak up' and psychological safety since our first publication back in 2019. We cover the role of listening, the activist voice, technology and its impact on voice amongst a few other things!

In the webinar "Study and Application: Unlocking Knowledge through Purposeful Learning", Mathias Osland discusses how to prepare to study purposefully, how to improve retention and to self-critique, and covers three ways of studying that will boost your ability to retain and apply knowledge. Watch the recording here:

Dr. Will Moreland shares his experiences with SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE from the book THINK AND GROW RICH. THERE are two kinds of knowledge. One is general, the other is specialized. General knowledge, no matter how great in quantity or variety it may be, is of but little use in the accumulation of money. The faculties of the great universities possess, in the aggregate, practically every form of general knowledge known to civilization. Most of the professors have but little or no money. They specialize on teaching knowledge, but they do not specialize on the organization, or the use of knowledge. KNOWLEDGE will not attract money, unless it is organized, and intelligently directed, through practical PLANS OF ACTION, to the DEFINITE END of accumulation of money. Lack of understanding of this fact has been the source of confusion to millions of people who falsely believe that "knowledge is power." It is nothing of the sort! Knowledge is only potential power. It becomes power only when, and if, it is organized into definite plans of action, and directed to a definite end. CLICK THE VIDEO AND LISTEN
