It’s easy to assume that for extremely bright young pupils, life in the classroom is a snap. But when conventional school curricula fail to stimulate their hungry young brains, leaving them bored and stymied, these kids may get lost in the system. Some end up with C averages and slip into truancy, and many may never blossom to their full potential. It’s a big loss for lots of reasons, including the fact that these precocious kids represent a unique pool of talent for generating new ideas and innovations. And because of inadequate policies, we may be losing opportunities to nurture the Henry Fords and Marie Curies of the future.

FIRST Global organizes a yearly international robotics challenge to ignite a passion for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) among the more than two billion youths across the world.
The not-for-profit public charity provides the framework for an “olympics”-style robotics challenge where one team from every nation is invited to participate in a global robotics event that builds bridges between high school students with different backgrounds, languages, religions, and customs.
By bringing these future STEM leaders together in an engaging and collaborative competition that drives home the importance, excitement, and applicability of STEM education, FIRST Global inspires students to learn the skills they will need to make the discoveries their parents and grandparents would consider miracles, impossibilities, or just plain science fiction.

Perhaps the most important reason for developing metacognition is that it can improve the application of knowledge, skills, and character qualities in realms beyond the immediate context in which they were learned. This can result in the transfer of competencies across disciplines—important for students preparing for real-life situations where clear-cut divisions of disciplines fall away and one must select competencies from the entire gamut of their experience to effectively apply them to the challenges at hand. Even within academic settings, it is valuable—and often necessary—to apply principles and methods across disciplinary lines.

Provocative coaching is a great tool during change processes. Dare you disrupt your client to help them find a resourceful response to the change problem?
“Content is verbal and already known. I advise you to not get drawn into the story the client tells. Instead, look at how they are and who they are. The information you need to help them get unstuck is IN the process.
Points excerpted: Look for nonverbal cues. Don’t always listen to what the client says!Keep your attention with them completely: notice their nonverbal communication, and their patterns of telling their story, their patterns of behaving. The key is to interrupt their patterns – to distract them – to take them out of their current state of mind – to help them see the situation with fresh eyes and wake up and learn.”“When you’re thinking what to do next – you’re away from the present. Stay aware in the here and now with your client.”The three demons that jeopardize a person’s effectiveness: muscle tension, inner noise and tunnel vision. To serve the client and nothing but the client – we must provoke a resourceful response – to let them find and appreciate what is true and what is helpful in their change process. Learn more:

Using a coaching approach is another helpful tool to support change implementation beyond the many barriers of risk, politeness and doing the usual thing. This post will provoke a new perspective, through 5 minute coaching practice, so you may "think different" about your next change interaction with your clients.
