Communication – being aware of what we are doing – neurosciences show that we are only 5% aware of what we do during a day
Be mindful to non-verbal and paraverbal communication!
Mental rehearsal – coaching technique to preview the end of an activity as successful – athletes 🙂
Watch your tone! – matched with the approapriate mimics
Practice active listening! – people need attention. We need to listen out of curiosity, but with a friend attitude ( even in the classroom). Neurosciences: our brain listens to 50% to waht the other says, since it was designed as such.
Moreover, we have the illusion that everything we say is understood by others (J. Derrida: „iluzia înțelegerii”, care provine din prejudecata filosofică occidentală către semnificații fixe, prezență și identități stabile, când, în realitate, sensul este întotdeauna amânat, instabil și se găsește în „jocul liber” al limbajului (différance), unde semnele indică spre alte semne, creând un lanț nesfârșit, mai degrabă decât o înțelegere finală a adevărului sau a prezenței.)
Build your emotional intelligence – we cannot comunicate until we have not assessed and achieved our own feelings.
bad news: self-development cannot be given/transfered to students
good news: if we do something with enthusiasm (God’s help), Ss wil feel it and react positively. Andrew Humington – The Neuro science of Gratitude -reorganizing our paths of thinking/brain circuits/rewiring our brain with a science backed gratitude practice
Marchall Rosenberg: Non-violent Communication
Replace negative emotions: fear, angriness, attachment with: love, gratitude, joy. Because only when children’s/our brains are relaxed/connected to such emotions, relaxation is the trigger for Ss to start learning.
