Teacher dips into the pages of 'Leading Professional Conversations: Adaptive expertise for schools', the new book from Emeritus Professor Helen Timperley. This exclusive extract discusses the importance of firstly establishing the purpose and focus of the conversation, and some things to think about before diving in.

I followed Ollie Strachan’s attempt to complete the “Arch to Arc” triathlon challenge that involves running from London to Dover (87 miles), swimming the English Channel, cycling 181 miles to Paris. 🏃♂️🏊♀️ 🚴♂️ I find it fascinating to follow these challenges and people that attempt to do them.  During the Channel swim, in the middle of the night and whilst having a feed, this conversation went on between Ollie and the support crew: Support crew : Ollie all good ? Ollie: Yeah my mind …… (and he starts drinking) Support crew : Ollie your mind is what ? Ollie: My mind is just playing demons with me. Support crew : Ok, sort it out! Positive! You got this! How many times have we found ourselves in the dark, in the middle of a challenge and the negative internal chatter kicks in? How many times have you let the ego take control, and work against you ? 🌑 Another chat between Ollie and his crew whilst feeding at dawn of the day: Support crew : Sunshine is coming , it will burn off . Here is the sunshine! 🌅 Ollie: Little bit of grey patch Support crew : It is ok! you are doing great! 🤗 Everyone needs a support team around them! Everyone needs a mentor or a coach to support them and to show them that  “sunshine is coming”, “that it is ok”, “ sort it out” , “get on with it”, “you are not alone”. You may have done the hard work, you may be very talented, but still you should always have a support network.  Businesses have to enable the creation of that support network. Managers in the “support boat” need to check how their team members are doing and lead them to success ! Hats off to Ollie and to Tracy in the support boat who showed incredible leadership skills! ⭐ https://lnkd.in/eRU7F8_F Ollie completed the completed the the “Arch to Arc” triathlon challenge ! Well done! #teamculture #coaching #mindset #leadership #endurance #sportpsychology

It's never just about the climbing*, is it? *or trail running. Or skiing. Or mountaineering. Or whatever it is that gets you outdoors. There's always a deeper meaning. A reason why we do what we do. Whether it's about change - for ourselves or other people -, about growth, about community, about fulfilment, about wellbeing...there's a story inside everyone's passion for the outdoors. One of the most inspiring ones I've come across lately is this one. Have you watched it? https://lnkd.in/eb8-58Et

Today, we're diving into page 7, Exercise 23 of your Essential Elements book, focusing on the Mallet section. In this video, we explore the concept of left-hand lead and how it can enhance your playing. We discuss the importance of choosing the right sticking patterns, especially on strong beats like beat one and beat three. While left-hand lead can be effective in certain passages, we also explore the idea of making adjustments for better flow and comfort. See the full lesson here: https://lnkd.in/eWvGspEi

Five spaces (from 20) remain for the 10-week webinar series that starts in four weeks on 8 October at 19:00 GMT/UTC. The final session is on December 10. If you want to deepen your knowledge of human factors in diving, this is the class for you. Each week there is a live 90-minute webinar that consists of approximately 60 minutes of delivery and 30 minutes of discussion and reflection. It is not pre-recorded and you will be encouraged to take part in the discussions :) The sessions are recorded, so if you miss one, you can go back and watch it. Full details of the course are here, including a timezone converter, the curriculum, and a FAQ (if you scroll down a bit). https://lnkd.in/dc7MeDm This isn't just for sports divers, the last class had a number of military divers on it, and I am now delivering a specific course for them in Jan-Mar next year for them. I've also had commercial divers on the course too. You get out of it what you want because I'll ask you to reflect on your own experiences and relevance. #diving #safety #nontechnicalskills #justculture #psychologicalsafety
