#People Development

Mau bilang "tidak terasa", tapi nyatanya sangat terasa. Sejak 2019 kolaborasi sama Alia buat membangun dan mengembangkan komunitas ini hingga tak terasa udah sampai di tahun 2024. Ada banyak sekali dinamika yang terjadi, banyak kesalahan yang terjadi, banyak sekali uji coba ini dan itu, naik turunnya semangat, bongkar pasang tim, dsb. Dengan segala dinamika itu, bisa bertahan hingga saat ini adalah sebuah milestone yang luar biasa bagiku secara pribadi. Apalagi kalau ketemu sama teman-teman secara offline seperti ini, terasa sekali nular energi baiknya, valuenya, dan segala hal yang bertahun-tahun ini coba kami sisipkan melalui beragam bentuk kelas, program, dsb.

Rasanya bahagia saat bertemu dengan orang-orang yang selama ini hanya kukenal secara daring. Bisa ketemu, bisa melihat raut wajahnya yang penuh keyakinan. Mungkin nanti akan ada masanya kita semua kembali sibuk berkarya di tempat masing-masing, tak mengapa. Kapanpun nanti kita bertemu lagi, kita akan mengingat hal-hal baik yang pernah kita lalui. Dan itu adalah penali yang membuat kita nanti, kapanpun bertemu, akan mudah untuk saling mengenali dan memulai pembicaraan.

Apakah ada di antara teman-teman di sini yang menjadi bagian dari kisah ini? :)

ok im going to #seriouspost for a second here. I don't think Harry Potter is a manifesto. I think it was a flawed passion project that millennials latched onto because of the fantasy of sticking it to their mean teachers and arbitrarily categorizing themselves (hogwarts houses; it's the thinking millennial's astrology). I think the fact that the series got popular when and how it did was very much a product of its time.

I don't think Harry Potter is the biggest symbol of JKR's bigotry. I think the most flagrant sign of that was how she responded to critics. I watched her become radicalized in real time. I watched how she doubled down on her racism when she was called out for the ways she promoted her tragically mid fantastic beasts movies. I watched her chase marginalized teenagers with a double digit follower count off of twitter for daring to criticize her thought process, and no one with any kind of power standing against her because she was the one who was paying them. This isn't to say Harry Potter is without flaws. This is to say she really didn't give a shit about that. Getting rich and powerful is a hell of a drug, and she had enough sycophants that she had no reason to care about what her critics were saying.

She was convinced that she was a martyr; a voice for the unheard; a leader for the ages, so of course her detractors were the bad guys. And I think we should take this to heart. We should see this as an example of how easy it is to get radicalized; if you think of yourself as a paragon of virtue, you are going to think that whatever you see as good and right is an objective fact. Most people don't know this, but the majority of terfs start out as trans allies. You are not immune to propaganda! You are not immune to falling into dangerous ideologies!!!

This is why the most important thing you can do as an activist is to listen. Do NOT think you're above being wrong; do NOT develop a god complex; do NOT form an identity out of being right all the time. Involve yourselves in the groups you claim to speak for. Listen to trans women; share resources that help trans women; familiarize yourself with the diversity of experiences that trans people have and the struggles they face.

No, none of you are as bad as JKR because you don't have her money or her power. You will likely never have the capacity for harm she does. But check yourselves. Do not affirm yourselves into thinking you always have the moral high ground. Watch yourselves; humble yourselves; check yourselves for signs of cult behavior and internalized prejudice. You are always learning. You will always be learning. Do not allow yourselves to get a power trip from brushing off marginalized voices.

Having some thoughts about compulsory sexuality, especially how posts about sex positivity vs censorship have an unfortunate tendency to cast people who are less willing to engage with sex as the cause and the symptom of puritanism when puritanical people are usually pretty pro-sex (within very narrow parameters that they weaponize against everyone else).

Tl;dr: Ending stigma around sex = Good. Implying less sexual people are losers / bad queers / oppressors = No thanks.

Become a Globally Recognized Coach: The Power of ICF Accreditation

In the competitive field of coaching, achieving global recognition is a goal that many aspire to, yet only a select few attain. One key factor that sets successful coaches apart is the prestigious International Coach Federation (ICF) accreditation. The journey to becoming a globally recognized coach is paved with challenges, but with ICF accreditation, a world of opportunities opens up that can propel your coaching practice to new heights.

"How do I get experience?"

It’s a common question, especially amongst younger workers and the answer is pretty simple. “You get experience by doing stuff!”  That’s the advice a 92 year old WWII veteran gives, as shared by a friend of mine who attended an event where the gentleman was speaking. It raises a several questions, one of which is: “What are some lessons for those people who are highly qualified theoretically,…

Investing in Employees: The Key to Sustained Success

Investing in Employees: The Key to Sustained Success

In the dynamic realm of business, where triumphs and tribulations are routine, it is crucial to ponder the bedrock of enduring success. Drawing from two decades of corporate experience, I've learned that the linchpin lies in investing in your most precious asset—your employees. An impressive 94% of employees express a willingness to remain loyal to a company that nurtures their professional journey, according to LinkedIn. This perspective isn't a passing trend; it marks a paradigm shift.

The Power of Employee Investment

Recognizing the pivotal role of employee growth and development, I advocate for making it a strategic priority both for clients and within my own organization. Beyond mere training sessions, employee development is a comprehensive and ongoing process that enhances individual competencies, aligns them with organizational goals, and cultivates a culture of perpetual learning and advancement. This approach benefits not only the employees but the organization as a whole.

Making Employee Development Paramount

Global surveys reveal that a significant majority of respondents consider learning pivotal for career success. Remarkably, 86% express a readiness to switch jobs for enhanced growth opportunities. This underscores the critical role of employee development in talent attraction and retention. Companies investing in people development and coaching witness a remarkable 58% surge in retention, a 24% spike in profit margins, and an impressive 250% return on investment. These statistics underline that employee development is not merely a cost but a judicious investment yielding long-term dividends.

In my experience, constructive feedback serves as a potent tool for fostering employee development. Providing insights into strengths and areas for improvement empowers employees to make informed decisions about their career trajectory. Feedback acts as a catalyst for growth, propelling employees to excel with recognition for achievements and guidance for developmental areas.

Moreover, strategically assigning teams to stretched projects proves effective in employee development. By challenging teams with tasks slightly beyond their current capacities, they are encouraged to step out of their comfort zones, acquiring new skills. Stretched projects elevate team confidence through overcoming challenges and learning from mistakes.

Employee Development: Beyond Training Courses

While training is integral to employee development, recent statistics indicate that 59% of employees are self-taught. This underscores the significance of fostering a learning culture where employees are motivated to take ownership of their development. A learning culture promotes curiosity, innovation, and collaboration, fostering an environment where employees actively seek knowledge and share insights.

Strategic Alignment for Success

Aligning employee development with organizational values and goals is paramount. When employees comprehend how their work contributes to organizational success, engagement and commitment soar. This alignment also imbues employees with a sense of purpose, understanding their positive impact on the organization and society.

Common Myths and Realities About Employee Development

Dispelling common misconceptions is vital. While some may view employee development as expensive and time-consuming, the reality is that it is an investment with measurable returns, improving performance, productivity, and customer satisfaction. Moreover, employee development is not exclusive to high-potential employees; it is pertinent for everyone, irrespective of level or tenure. Responsibility for employee development is shared among employees, managers, and the organization.

The Impact of Employee Development

Investing in comprehensive employee training programs correlates with a 218% higher income per employee. Additionally, companies witness a 17% boost in productivity when employees receive the necessary training. These figures underscore how employee development enhances work quality and efficiency.

Conclusion: Unveiling the Secret to Success

In essence, employee development is the transformative element enhancing skills, knowledge, and performance—a core aspect of human resource management. As a managerial leader, assume roles as a coach, mentor, facilitator, and cheerleader, empowering your team to drive their development. As an employee, embrace the role of a learner, performer, leader, and contributor, seizing available opportunities and challenging personal limits.

Remember, employee development is not a destination but a journey, teeming with surprises, challenges, and rewards—a unique voyage for each individual, yet shared by the entire organization.

i know it's obviously English Wikipedia so it's full of the most wretched biased people you'll ever meet, but the fact that there's like 4 different sections in the article for the vietnam war on its influence in various elements of US home society (black servicemen etc) and so comparatively little on its effects on both contemporary Vietnamese people and modern day Vietnam outside of "oh there's lots of unexploded bombs and everyone got horrible illnesses from our chemicals" is insane.

literally they will bomb your country and then spend all their time writing about the implications it had for *their* country at home. evil evil evil self interested people

So, I'm friends with someone who runs the freezing and storage side of a sperm bank, and she has often complained to me about the drama and flaking and paperwork snafus involved with "known donors", like your mouseworld couple calling in a brother. I don't know if you had any plans to explore that as a complete story, but know that if you do, the soil there is rich.

Honestly everything I know about sperm banks I've learned through sitcoms and I'm intrigued by your friend's stories
