How often do we as learning professionals take time to think about the future? Lately, weve been barraged with circumstances that require us to think in the moment, including COVID-19, mass shootings, and other crises.

Its time now to get back to thinking about our future and reassessing our priorities. As we make this shift, it sometimes feels like we are making up for lost time; many are racing back with reactive chaos, trying to catch up.

Pause for a moment. Think about what is occupying most of your attention lately. Are you engaged in activities that are more reactive or proactive? Are the things you are working on necessary or just busy work? Are you looking ahead and planning for opportunities or focusing on the past?

Use the questions below to determine if you, your leaders, or your clients are being reactive or proactive.

Four backward-facing questions:1. Whats broken?2. What needs to be fixed? (Checking a box or moving forward?)3. What problems can you solve? (Once fixed, will it help you move forward?)4. Whats wrong? (Is it time to move from whats wrong to what could be?)

If you or your leaders are stuck in this mindset, your future languishes while your best talent focuses on the past. Most leaders spend much of their time fixing broken systems, solving people problems, or trying to develop weak team members that are not going to help you move towards the future.

Four forward-facing questions:1. What future do you imagine for yourself and your organization?2. How will you bring your vision or imagined future into reality?3. Who do you aspire to become?4. How might you take responsibility to leverage your talent to accomplish a shared vision?

How can we be so frantically busy yet have no idea what we are really working to build? The future is created by applying talents to aspiration. Move from problem to possibility.Dan Rockwall, Leadership Freak Blog.

The Eisenhower Urgent-Important Principle reminds us to consider which activities are important and which are essentially distractions.

Forward-focused thinkers who live in the important principle sector are prepared for change and can adapt when applicable. They are described as being curious, innovative, non-traditional, progressive, dynamic, broad-minded, positive, enlightened, liberal, radical, and revolutionary. At the core, were talking about leaders capable of strategic thinking, which is necessary for forward thinking.

A Forbes article entitled, Are You a Forward Thinker? asked the four questions below. Lets take a deep dive into them:

1. Do friends, family, or colleagues ever acknowledge you for your imagination? If so, its a good sign that youre someone who thinks ahead. Do you engage your imagination to turn ideas into reality?

2. Do you periodically audit your information diet? How healthy is your daily intake of numerous information sources, including social media, news, reports, books, content, research, emails, blogs, podcasts, trivia, or gossip? Do an assessment to determine how you can eliminate the garbage from the good stuff.

3. Do you regularly sharpen your forecasting skills? In a University of Pennsylvania study, Professor Philip Tetlock and his researchers hosted forecasting tournaments to identify people who were highly adept at forecasting. Common traits included being philosophically cautious and humble, comfortable with numbers, open minded, intellectually curious, enjoying mental challenges such as word games, and being alert to personal bias and wishful thinking. By working on these traits and reflecting on the accuracy of your predictive decisions, you can sharpen your ability to accurately forecast your future.

4. Do you benchmark the best practices of leading innovators? Noted forward-focused thinkers, such as Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Richard Branson, have figured out how to spend the bulk of their time on thinking about how the world will look three, five, and ten years from now.

In my introductory article in ATDs Handbook for Training and Talent Development, I asked the question, Are you willing to shift your mindset and attitude? Its very easy to slip back into the status quo (or what I refer to as the stagnant quo). The current speed of change will not tolerate inertia. Being forward-focused when thinking about how we spend our time, work, interact with others, and develop and operate our business will determine future success.

The abilitybut more importantly the willingnessto think forwardly will be a key component of organizational and personal success going forward. The next decade is certain to be more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous than ever before.

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.Maya Angelou

Here are 15 considerations to continue developing a forward-thinking mindset:

1. Develop and stay focused on a plan.2. Read great books and watch documentaries.3. See the bigger picture, be open to possibilities, and look for opportunities.4. Lean on your network when feeling lost, uncertain, or overwhelmed.5. Find the energy in others.6. Take time to get away, take breaks, and recharge.7. Do ongoing scenario planning to consider a range of plausible futures that can emerge from todays realities. 8. Collaborate with universities to tap into academic innovations.9. Think, work, and respond differently.10. Balance between creative and analytical thinking.11. Persevere; build your resiliency.12. Take responsibility, and practice taking initiative.13. Take risks and experiment.14. Give up control.15. Most importantly, set aside time for forward-focused thinking in your schedule.

Eilidh Edgar, programme manager at DYWICH, said she was thrilled to have Aquascot sign the Young Person's Guarantee.

A Ross-shire salmon and trout processing company has become the latest to pledge support to young workforce by teaming up with a Highland association supporting young people in the world of work.

Alness-based Aquascot which supplies seafood to Waitrose signed the Young Persons Guarantee in association with Developing the Young Workforce Inverness & Central Highland (DYWICH).

The firm, which is a fully employee-owned business, said they place high value in the welfare and personal development of its team and that they have engaged in a number of initiatives designed to introduce young people in the Highlands to its field.

Joanne Brogan, HR advisor at Aquascot, said: Signing the Young Persons Guarantee with DYWICH has validated the work we carried out in 2021 and early 2022 to engage young people with our company and our industry as a whole and gives us focus to continue that work.

It is important that we support the next generation of workers and future leaders, as they are key to our future economic success providing a new perspective, and helping companies with resource shortages and skills gaps.

In 2021, Aquascot recruited two undergraduate interns through Entrepreneurial Scotlands Saltire Scholars scheme. Each completing a 10-week project, one focused on reduction of single-use plastics while the other carried out vital data analysis work.

We have also had great success with the Government Kickstart programme, creating roles for three young people who were at risk of unemployment, said Ms Brogan.

As well as providing training in a range of skills that are transferable to a wide variety of food production roles and other industries we were able to secure permanent employment for one Kickstart participant as a junior food technologist.

We are passionate about nurturing homegrown engineering talent through our modern apprenticeship programme, too. With our former apprentice having just finished his four-year appointment, a new apprentice has now started his career journey with us.

The firm has also recently adapted the role of production operative, opening up new career paths for young people in the region that are flexible to fit around their existing commitments. Through initiatives like these and engagement with local schools the firm hopes to encourage young people in the Highlands to stay in the area when looking for employment.

Eilidh Edgar, programme manager at DYWICH, said: It is only natural for young people to consider moving away from home when looking for their first job however it is vitally important for our local economy and community that we showcase the incredible variety of opportunities that are available on our doorstep, too.

We are thrilled that Aquascot has signed the Young Persons Guarantee, building on incredible foundations of supporting young people into employment after school.

Whether choosing to go on to further education, an apprenticeship, or into an entry-level position in their chosen field, its the work of companies like Aquascot that lets young people in the Highlands know about all the amazing careers and training available to them locally.

Ms Brogan added: It can be difficult for a young person to secure high quality employment without experience, and they may not realise their potential at a young age. It is therefore vital for employers to engage with young people and provide opportunities for them to develop transferable skills and build their experience, with good management that coaches and encourages young people to achieve their potential to build a successful career.

Aquascot aims to be the employer of choice for young people. The work we do internally to develop a continuous learning and development culture, and the work we do externally in the community to showcase our company as a values driven organisation with career development opportunities, is our pathway to achieving this.

DYWICH is part of a national framework of regional employer-led boards across Scotland. Formed as part of the Scottish Governments youth employment strategy, and hosted by Inverness Chamber of Commerce, the groups aim is to develop sustainable links between schools, colleges and employers. Working in partnership with employers, DYWICH is shaping the workforce of the future and helping to better prepare young people for the world of work.

Aquascot to work with a Highland skills development association to help support young workers in the region - RossShire Journal

The post How Nathan Fielders The Rehearsal Affirms My Experience with Autism appeared first on Consequence.

In a 2017 Rolling Stone profile, comedian Nathan Fielder discussed researching Aspergers syndrome to shape his character on the popular Comedy Central program Nathan For You. Although Fielder did not disclose that he personally identifies on the autism spectrum, his latest project HBOs fascinating and deceptively moving docu-comedy The Rehearsal reflects an experience that many autistic individuals such as myself have dealt with: masking, a survival mechanism in which autistic individuals suppress their neurodivergent traits in order to adapt to their surroundings.

The Rehearsal initially follows Fielder helping people practice difficult conversations and momentous life events by designing intricate simulations for them. To do this, he hires actors to inhabit these sets, and crafts dialogue trees in order to prepare his subjects for living out a future encounter or a significant milestone. These controlled environments essentially guide people to avoid mistakes with real consequences, while maintaining an illusion of verisimilitude.

Fielder also participates in The Rehearsal himself and as he becomes more and more entrenched in this convoluted orchestration, the series gradually shifts its focus more toward his dilemma with interpersonal ineptitude. Case in point: In Episode 1, Fielder calculates the most optimal way to socialize with his first client by constructing a replica of the clients house to rehearse potential small talk, clever quips, and body movements with a stand-in.

His subtle deception works at first, but after telling an off-color joke and sitting in a chair at an uncomfortably low angle, Fielder worries about the uneven social dynamic between him and the client and that the joke came off more as a criticism. Watching that moment almost felt like a direct adaptation from my own memories of trying to navigate precarious social terrain while dealing with and hiding my autism.

Story continues

Though neurological disability and social awkwardness arent necessarily mutually exclusive, The Rehearsal captures how autistic and other neurodivergent folks are conditioned to interact with the world around them. To paraphrase an observational tweet on the matter, Fielder dramatizes the anxieties that many individuals with autism face in the pursuit to belong, by breaking down the cultural norms that uphold and reward neurotypical behavior, ultimately revealing their inanity and futility.

The Rehearsal Autism Nathan Fielder

The Rehearsal (HBO)

Speaking as someone who is autistic and has an extensive history with masking, I find The Rehearsal a deeply affirming watch. Seeing Fielder as both architect and subject of this social experiment reminded me of the 10+ years I spent in speech and language therapy, where I learned to develop critical thinking skills, study body language, read social cues, and communicate ideas in a thoughtful and succinct manner. Basically, I spent the majority of my childhood and adolescence rehearsing for all different kinds of scenarios, especially ones that involved conflict and confrontation like in The Rehearsal.

From preschool to eighth grade, speech and language therapy thoroughly prepared me on how to appropriately greet people, actively listen and engage in conversation, and express anger without resorting to rage during moments of frustration. Although Im grateful for the many professionals who provided me with an instrumental toolkit for my emotional management, they also radically altered how I saw myself in relation to other people: someone who needed to be trained and tamed in order to be successful and well-liked.

Consequently, the constant cyclical stream of constructive feedback and self-interrogation created a lingering angst and a whole batch of insecurities around whether or not I could be my true self around people. I knew that I was curbing certain behaviors seen as socially inappropriate, like monologuing or impulsive bluntness, so that I could be embraced by my peers and the world at large.

Despite this, I wrestled with how often I was mirroring and mimicking people around me in order to blend in and how that made me feel like an imposter, how frequently I was adhering to other peoples needs rather than attending to and advocating for my own. Even now, I still have an urge to fixate on past faux pas and rigorously run through potential conversations by myself to avoid any potential disappointment, embarrassment, or incoherence.

Masking is essentially what each person in The Rehearsal is asked to do: act out social scripts and embody certain roles over and over again, to create a better sense of predictability and eliminate as much collateral damage as possible.

The Rehearsal Season Finale Recap

Editor's Pick

Because we live in such a conflict-averse, results-oriented culture, Fielders unconventional approach can be both a comforting and healing frame of reference for anyone who fears rejection and failure and struggles to articulate their feelings. But because the real world is not tailored for predictable outcomes, when our reality doesnt align with our expectations this method of camoflauging can also prove to be extremely disorienting and painful.

That tricky tightrope walk is exemplified in The Rehearsals first episode, where Kor Skeete, a New York-based trivia obsessive, asks Fielder to guide him through the process of confessing a long-held secret to his friend that could potentially end their relationship. Together, they map out every single possible factor that could occur from telling this secret, going so far as to construct an uncanny copy of the bar Skeete and his friend frequent to better choreograph his delivery of the news.

All goes well, thankfully, but Fielder expresses guilt for tricking Skeete into winning the trivia game by subtly feeding him the correct answers during their time together, so that the blow of the secret wouldnt be as harsh. Fielder even rehearses divulging his secret with the Skeete stand-in from earlier in the episode, in order to face the potential emotional blowback for lying. The real Skeete is more understanding than the fake one, but throughout the rest of The Rehearsal, Fielder and his clients continue to come up against the discomfort of immersing themselves in fake situations that require real vulnerability.

In Episode 2, the devout Angela commits to simulating domesticity, playing mom to a rotating group of child actors. But after Robbin, a man Angela briefly dates, decides he cannot practice fatherhood with her and Fielder steps in to be her non-romantic co-parent, Angela becomes disinterested in the performance and less inclined to suspend her disbelief. During the rest of her multiple episode arc, she grows alienated and disillusioned by Fielders presence, noting how the simulation is becoming more about his journey than her own and subsequently leaves the production on her own volition.

Later, in Episode 3, a man named Patrick experiences a breakthrough in rehearsing a conversation over his grandfathers will with an actor playing his brother. But when hes called to do the actual heart-to-heart, Patrick disappears, likely overwhelmed from the emotional rawness of his performance.

Frustrated with and confused by these results, Fielder decides to unspool his already labryrithine premise even more by literally putting himself in his clients shoes. In Episode 4, Fielder strives to understand the psychology of Thomas, one of his Fielder Method students who expressed doubt around his class, by staging an exact reenactment of the course and attending it as Thomas.

He again creates a rehearsal for himself in Episode 6 when Remy, a young boy acting as Fielders son, believes Fielder to actually be his real father, refusing to call him by his name and only referring to him as daddy. Fielder dresses up as Remys mother, right down to her leather jacket and hand tattoo, and recreates their experience together with other actors to see if he could have done something differently to prevent Remys emotional attachment to him.

By stepping outside of his own mind and body, Fielder is able to better empathize with others, but loses sight of himself in the process. His predicament presents a pretty ethically thorny paradox: Is it possible to have meaningful, organic experiences and arrive at our true, authentic selves, even if its under the artifice of masking and performance?

The Rehearsal Autism Nathan Fielder

The Rehearsal (HBO)

To me, The Rehearsal effectively gets at the root of this sticky contradiction. Being the creative puppeteer of this operation gives Fielder power over every single variable and their expected outcomes, a way to play God (or Willy Wonka, as Skeete puts it) in order to protect Fielder from any loss or grief he might encounter.

But since masking is inherently an unnatural, deceptive, and oppressive agent of conformity, that power simultaneously distances Fielder from ever becoming fully emotionally invested in whatever mindset hes trying to hack.

Once Fielder eventually surrenders that power and embraces the messiness of his actions and the nuances of his consequences, he remains relatively unscathed, even somewhat relieved. He reaches the ultimate conclusion that theres no perfect way to create the right experience or get the correct reaction, no matter how premeditated the approach.

If anything, The Rehearsal displays the impossibility of applying our cultures one-size-fits-all social logic to everyday experiences. More often than not, the situations like the ones Fielder puts himself in only seem daunting and stressful because our culture does not value compassion, only flawlessness. This inevitably normalizes a very narrow idea of what a favorable outcome is supposed to look like.

Its so immensely satisfying to see an acclaimed piece of media not only question the validity of this social logic, but also showcase the exhaustion of keeping up with it, especially for autistic people and other disabled folks who fear acting on their desires in a system that sets them up to fail.

Itll be interesting to see where The Rehearsal goes in its second season and what other emotionally squirm-inducing scenarios it will explore (a Fielder family gathering, perhaps?) that could further point to the ineffective and unsustainable nature of masking. Given the first seasons lightning success, Id be curious if these experiments could actually create material impact beyond funny, insightful entertainment if it can actually help viewers build stronger communication in their own lives rather than just watch them play out on TV.

I dont know if I would be where I am today without speech and language therapy. It haunts me, honestly, to think that I probably wouldnt have the relationships or career path I have now were it not for my early behavioral intervention. But by having this meta-cognitive awareness around my autism, I can appreciate the help I received while recognizing autism as a vital part of my identity and acknowledging my limitations rather than suppressing them.

That moment of Fielder trying to make a good first impression on Kor is something most of us can relate to. But through a lens of disability, it speaks to the loneliness of how masking deprives autistic people of our humanity, of not being afforded the space for awkwardness and messiness in order to make other, more neurotypical, people feel comfortable and secure.

Disabled or not, people are awkward and messy and say and do the wrong thing all the time. Thats what being human is. The Rehearsal recognizes that, while also acknowledging that getting and giving support to learn from our mistakes is essential to our personal development. Without clarity and precision, theres risk, but with risk comes joy and catharsis.

How Nathan Fielders The Rehearsal Affirms My Experience with Autism - Yahoo Entertainment

With an abundance of business coaches, consultants and mentors out there, it can be particularly difficult to decide who of these you are better off investing in. The common programs with many of these coaches are launching a business, scaling and mistakes to avoid. This knowledge is undoubtedly priceless to any entrepreneur, particularly those embarking on their first business venture. The technicalities these mentors provide are crucial to building a successful business, but what about the development of the personal-self into an effective business person and leader? One man who believes these elements are crucial to success is Kanji Low.

Melbourne-based entrepreneur, business coach and mentor Kanji Low wasnt always where he is now. Working day in and day out in a corporate IT role, Kanji always felt as though he was meant for more. Specifically, he felt that his energies shouldnt be solely focused upon his side-hustles outside of his 9-5, but towards developing himself into the kind of person that could profoundly serve others. Through explorations of multiple ventures, from flipping Air Jordans to teaching languages, Kanji felt that what came most naturally to him was his ability to listen, develop and educate others.

Kanji now helps entrepreneurs and business owners become conscious leaders that positively impact the world. According to him, it all comes down to growth how his clients utilise their self-development journeys, and how they will pass this along to others. Its not what the clients get or what I provide, ultimately its beyond us and is about what the clients will do to pass this experience to the people they serve, Kanji says.

Your inner experience is your external reality, says Kanji. When you change your experience, you change your reality. Our lives are based upon what we perceive and think. Every subconscious thought you have can keep you in the same place. Your inner experience is made up of your thoughts and your inner dialogue. If you allow yourself to feel you are not successful subconsciously, thats what will appear. If you allow yourself to feel you are wealthy, opportunities and situations will arise to reflect just that.

Taking the words of Dr Joe Dispenza, If you want a new outcome, you will have to break the habit of being yourself and reinvent a new self, Kanji aids business owners into becoming, and falling in love with, the versions of their best selves. When you are not of service to yourself, you are not of service to others, says Kanji. A question I always ask my clients that really makes them stop and think is: Who is missing out when you are not showing up as your truest and best you?

Having been through what many go through making the leap from a 9-5 role to business owner, Kanji is very conscious of what he imparts to his mentees. A mentor isnt someone who is more experienced than you, he says, but rather someone who has done more stupid things so you dont have to. With aspiring and existing entrepreneurs entering the industry lacking purpose and clarity, feeling lost in life, or struggling to break the ceiling of their life and business, Kanjis relatable experience with his own transformation into a successful business owner are life lessons he uses to help others achieve the same freedom.

Working with committed individuals, Kanji synergizes with conscious entrepreneurs and business owners through his custom-made 1 on 1 private mentoring programs, a conscious entrepreneur community, as well as Xperience Online to transform their existence by unlocking their potential. A partner of Xperience Online The Future of Self Development, Kanji has helped clients launch and scale their conscious business movements, achieving their first $25k and beyond, allowing them to transform their lives financially, spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally.Xperience Online is a revolutionary platform created to guide its users through their journeys of self-development. The platform uses self development techniques such as meditation, visualisation, and expanding mindset and consciousness through a mobile app and a pipeline of future tech such as cryptocurrency, VR, wearables.

The greatest gift I offer my clients is a true and deep understanding of themselves. Kanji notes. Through his guidance, Kanji is changing the entrepreneurial world by aiding the transformation process of entrepreneurs into their most powerful selves, to become conscious leaders within their industries to better serve the world.
