Why Live Courses are More Effective Than Pre-recorded Courses

Fri, 25 Feb 2022 17:59:53 +0000

A live class is when an instructor and students are all in one place or one online forum at the same time. The instruction is given in real time and students have the ability to interact with one another and the instructor. In contrast, a pre-recorded course is when an instructor has already recorded themselves and simply sends the content to the students along with a video or voice recording of themselves. There are some obvious strengths and weaknesses to both, but live course instruction reaps way more educational and social benefits compared to pre-recorded courses.

Why Women’s Only Learning Courses Are Necessary

Fri, 25 Feb 2022 15:04:52 +0000

Many women have trouble stepping into male dominated spaces. It is not easy to be the only woman in a room full of men or a field that has been particularly dominated by men historically. It would be nice if we could live in a world where men and women could also be mingled without the fear of exclusion or discrimination, but unfortunately we have not evolved as a society to that point of consciousness yet. In the meantime, many organizations have been making an effort to incorporate “women’s only” spaces so women can feel comfortable and hopefully be able to receive similar opportunities as men. For example, we have “women only” areas in the gym. Gyms have typically been dominated by the male population, so women can often feel inadequate when working out around men, so a solution to that problem was incorporating a women’s only area.

How to Balance Life as a Working Mom

Tue, 15 Feb 2022 17:25:50 +0000

Finding a work-life balance can be tough, especially for women. We often have a hard time carpetalizing our lives which leaves us exhausted at work and at home. As years have progressed women have become more financially responsible throughout the household, but are still expected to uphold their motherly duties to the highest degree.

This means we need to find more ways to find a balance between our work life and home life while simultaneously considering our own needs.

How to Improve Intrinsic Motivation to Become a Better You

Mon, 14 Feb 2022 17:40:15 +0000

Intrinsic motivation is when you are encouraged to complete a task or activity based on the internal feeling you receive when doing these things. In contrast, extrinsic motivation is when you are encouraged to do an activity based on an external reward.

For example, if you go to work because you are encouraged to receive your paycheck at the end of the day then that is extrinsic motivation. However, if you choose to coach your daughter’s soccer team because you enjoy the feeling of spending quality time with your daughter and making a difference in children’s life, then that would be intrinsic motivation. Let’s say you wanted to make sure you coach your daughter’s soccer team to ensure she plays the entire game, that would not be intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation will keep you motivated for the long hall, while extrinsic motivation may keep you motivated solely for the time that the reward is available or even shorter.

Prioritizing yourself can energize you and help you become more effective in your given roles throughout your life. Continue reading to find out more tips on how you can prioritize your own needs and become a better time manager.

Thu, 10 Feb 2022 21:30:21 +0000

Networking is the power of building relationships for the purpose of propelling your professional life forward. Networking does not only have to be done in professional settings, there are always opportunities to network every time you are interacting with anyone in the community. Whether it is at a professional conference, going to the gym, dropping your kids off at school, there are always opportunities to meet new people that will help you in the future. Strong relationships must be built over time, so it is important to be personable and maintain positive relationships with as many people as you can over time. A positive relationship can be built with anyone no matter the position they have in an organization and every relationship is just as beneficial. A strong relationship with a manager or boss can benefit you just as much as a positive relationship with the lower level employees.
