Ways Recruiters Find Candidates

We are celebrated for being ourselves until a certain point when we then become shamed for it. Coaching is when we can truly be ourselves. Both coach and client.

We are contributing to the rise of facism by using social media products

We are in control of our own time

we are stuck in a trade mindset and need to adopt a more fluid way of thinking about skills

We as humans have miraculous powers.

We assume everyone thinks like we do on social

We can become who we act like.

we crave the 90s because we crave certainty and the 90s are over so they are certain

We don't really practice empathy as coaches. We practice curiosity as a means of helping our clients have break throughs.

We fall in love with the things. It's how we make sense of the world. Also known as awe.

We habitualize to protect ourselves in turbulent times

We just don't know what's good or bad

we may be more inclined these days to take recommendations from algorithm over a person

We must include gifted children in the category of students for whom standard education does not work and provide services as needed

We must not adopt an ignorance is bliss approach when it comes to AI in education

We must think deeply about what it means to be an educational institution

We must update learning models before applying AI

we naturally anthropomorphize as humans to our detriment and to our benefit

we need less advice and more curiosity

We never stop playing pretend

we only learn lessons when we've experienced the consequences of our actions

we should not center AI in education

we stay chained to the present unless we have an attractive future

we think our problems are big and that our peers problems are small and vice versa

we underestimate how much others enjoy talking to us and how much we'll enjoy those conversations

We use fear of death to control people

we want to feel like the creator of our own work

We were Boys built to love whatever's in front of us

When networking,really engage personally with each contact

When parents want the baby to look like them

When we see goodness in others, they feel seen and their whole psychology can change

When you feel resistance, go slow, but don't stop. Slow as you want. But don't stop.

When you label your qualities as bad you're throwing away your masculinity.

When you start a project, ask yourself when you will finish

Whiplash, spiritual and physical

Why asking for help is not a sign of weakness

Why do a so many hsps want to stop being sensitive

Why do coaches need a spiritual practice Connection to the source that lets you open in a coaching session.

Why do kids like the monster game Because it's artificial danger. It's knowing that you will always come back to yourself in the end. Kind of like those voices you used to put on for Dezi.

You are always becoming as a business owner

you are indeed the traffic you complain about

You are only seeing things through your own lens

You are the parent now, you provide the magic

You are what you eat, and what you eat eats you

You can be a prompt engineer or an iterative prompt artist

you can either be motivated by curiosity or by shame and guilt

you can either be motivated by curiosity or by shame and guilt and the choice is really yours

You can sense the season change before the weather actually changes

You can't buy an ice cream cone

You can't create unless you accept that something could go wrong

You can't prevent suffering but you can teach coping

you can't renegotiate the terms of life

You can't want something for someone. They have to want it for themselves

You have power when your pre frontal cortex is aware of your limbic system

You have to Maslow before you can Bloom

You have to work on paper. Feynman on his notebooks.

You make your role in your career

You must dance with the feminine chaos, don't try to change it

You must know what activities you want to grapple with, since otherwise you'll want to automate your whole life with AI

you need bullets that show results

You need to root for other people's children to create a more cohesive community and society

You only need some of the job requirements

You only see the top layer

You probably won't find your system in a preconfigured template

“You should enroll him in karate” I get it now

You walk around in a dark room of walking around with light on your chest and you resize that everyone has this energy and you drop all outside appearances.

You want to be half heart and half spine

your client is the star of the show and you are the guide

Your emotions are not your child's responsibility

Your pivot is not over when you get the job!

Your pkm can be question based

Your projects could be your goals.

You're alive and that's remarkable

You’re not a parent. You’re a substitute frontal lobe.

you're only an asshole to some
