Bridging The Knowledge Gap Strategically

OK, so you’ve set your goal – what you will achieve, why you want to achieve it, how you will achieve it, and when it will be achieved by.  The next step is to bridge the gap between where you are now are where you want to be (end results).

Bridging Your Education Gap

The first step is to assess where your knowledge gaps are.  Start by mapping out the following three areas of your current education:

  1. Where you do have the type of knowledge, skills and expertise, and at the level required to assist you in achieving your goal.
  2. Where you have some knowledge, skills and expertise but at a lower level than is required to achieve your goals.
  3. Where you don’t have the knowledge, skills and expertise that you require to achieve your goals.

Mapping out these three [Read more…]

Can You Change The Brain? What 83,000 Brain Scans Reveal

The ability to change your thinking and behaviour is effected by the health of your brain. Today’s video is a 15 minute TedXOrangeCoast talk, by Daniel Amen, about that very important organ – the brain.   It’s a fascinating talk what has been revealed through 83,000 brain scans, and study of normal brains with people who have psychological, behaviour and functional problems.

Here are a couple of key points I found interesting from the talk:

  • Psychologists generally look for symptom clusters.  They are one of the only professions that don’t look at the organ they treat.
  • Poor behaviour is an expression of the problem (not the problem it’s self).  Brain health and function is the  core issue.
  • The brain can be rehabilitated.  You are not stuck with the brain you have; you can make it better.
  • Looking at the brain enables appropriate treatment.  It gives the information required to the practitioner who can then establish the most appropriate treatment in terms of medication, therapy and other available options.
