We attended 'Cork Penny Dinners' tonight, just as we had been doing for the last 3 weeks.

It was my turn to go, and I was looking forward to it after seeing the general response and photos from the nights prior.

I conducted a takeover of the 'universitycollegecork' official Instagram on the night, and we donated the money we raised for 'Cork Penny Dinners' also on the night.

It was a great experience and I hope that the club can continue these community links in future years.

I also sent off the final step count of my MoveMentee to Gillian.

This week we got together to have a Secret Santa amongst members of the class.

This was a very nice class and everyone was in good spirits.

I worked throughout the week to make sure everyone was given a name, and everybodys name was given out.

I also picked up some extra presents for people who did not receive a present on the day.

This week were were delighted to be joined by Tania Cassidy, an Associate Professor in the area of Sport Pedagogy, who talked about 'Acting Professionally as a Coach'

She spoke about character, values, virtues and how these translate into classroom and coaching environments.

She also discussed leadership and motivation types, and the information from this workshops was very useful and relevant to future practice - either as a PE teacher, or working in a coaching capacity.

# data[].attributes.body
This week we had a brief catchup with Gillian. We discussed issues we were having in recording and sending data (steps, distance etc.).

We wet a provisional date for the M2M end of semester event, which we planned to go ahead on the 25th of November.

We discussed how we were getting on with our MoveMentees ; their willingness to get involved, their progress, their feedback, and whether or not we as MoveMentors needed extra supports.

Group 1 attended 'Cork Penny Dinners', our first of 4 links to the wider college community.

Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to whatever is happening in the present moment and experiencing it without judgement.

Anyone can practice mindfulness. It is easy to fit into your day. You can do it one minute at a time.

Benefits of mindfulness

Mindfulness helps bring you into the present. It helps you focus on what's happening right at this moment. It allows you to develop a new habit that helps to weaken old and unhelpful thinking habits. Becoming aware of the present moment can help you enjoy the world around you more.

How to be more mindful

Taking notice of your thoughts, feelings, sensations and the world around you is the first step to being more mindful.
Ways you can be more mindful on a daily basis

Notice the everyday, such as the air you breathe and the food you eat

Pick the same time each day during which you decide to be aware of the world around you

Try something new like sitting in a different seat in meetings

Gentle walking or yoga can help you cope if you have an over-busy mind

Name thoughts and feelings, for example, 'this is anxiety'

Free yourself from the past and future

Today's practice is Breath Awareness.

The breath is a terrific tool we have at our disposal to create more calm in ourselves. Stress makes our breathing faster and shallower which leads to tension in our bodies and also our minds. Allowing yourself space to breathe is wonderful gift that will reward you in untold ways. Attending to the breath has an extraordinary way of slowing down the breath and soothing the autonomic nervous system. It's as though the breath says "Oh, Thank you for noticing me, Now I can relax!". Sitting with your breath and following it in and out of your body can be difficult because the mind wants you to follow it instead. By noticing when your attention has gone somewhere else, and coming back to the breath again, you are 'flexing your awareness muscle' and strengthening your ability to focus. Informally, you can avail of opportunities during the day to pause with your breath.

Notice any insights form practicing breath awareness that arise for you.

You are invited to join us for another Mental Health Ireland's Mindful Moment Guided Practice Live Stream on Facebook at 1.30 pm .

This week we had a talk with Niamh O' Brien on mental wellbeing, after a suggestion from the class that we needed more insight in this particular area.

We completed different exercises throughout the interactive session that made us reflect on our own mental wellbeing.

We discussed indicators that might suggest that our MoveMentee is struggling, and the ways in which we can intervene in various scenarios.

We also looked at meditation and ways of adding mindfulness into the lives of our MoveMentees and our own personal lives.

# data[].attributes.body
This week we also had an online task, and were allowed to catch up on and refine work from earlier weeks.

I used this week mainly to organise a M2M walk event on the Monday, and the 'universitycollegecork' official Instagram takeover that I would be doing for the club in November.

This week we completed an online task.

I worked closely with my MoveMentee this week - sending him an infographic on the health benefits of exercise, chatting about progress to date, and motivating him to keep increasing his steps.

Today we talked more about the idea of 'Design Thinking', and focused also on mindset.

We were introduced to two more practitioners in this field, Jeanne Liedka and Donald Schon.

We practiced games that helped to develop a 'growth mindset', where it is okay to fail early and often.

We were introduced to the Food4Thaught programme which would be taking place in November.

Design Thinking is a process AND a mindset. But it's also much more than that. Implemented in daily work, the problem-solving potential of Design Thinking finds its expression in the form of a living innovation culture. This is even more the case when holistic and user-centered solutions are sought.

Design thinking - Fragment TED talk Tim Brown

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Thinking like a designer can transform the way organizations develop products, services, processes, and strategy. This approach, which is known as design thinking, brings together what is desirable from a human point of view with what is technologically feasible and economically viable. It also allows people who aren't trained as designers to use creative tools to address a vast range of challenges.

IDEO did not invent design thinking, but we have become known for practicing it and applying it to solving problems small and large. It's fair to say that we were in the right place at the right time. When we looked back over our shoulder, we discovered that there was a revolutionary movement behind us.

About this site

This design thinking site is just one small part of the IDEO network. There's much more, including full online courses we've developed on many topics related to design thinking and its applications. We fundamentally believe in the power of design thinking as a methodology for creating positive impact in the world-and we bring that belief into our client engagements as well as into creating open resources such as this.

At IDEO, we're often asked to share what we know about design thinking. We've developed this website in response to that request. Here, we introduce design thinking, how it came to be, how it is being used, and steps and tools for mastering it. You'll find our particular take on design thinking, as well as the perspectives of others. Everything on this site is free for you to use and share with proper attribution.

(From 2008-2018, designthinking.ideo.com was the home of IDEO's design thinking blog, written by our CEO, Tim Brown. You can find that blog here.)

Design thinking in context

We live and work in a world of interlocking systems, where many of the problems we face are dynamic, multifaceted, and inherently human. Think of some of the big questions being asked by businesses, government, educational and social organizations: How will we navigate the disruptive forces of the day, including technology and globalism? How will we grow and improve in response to rapid change? How can we effectively support individuals while simultaneously changing big systems? For us, design thinking offers an approach for addressing these and other big questions.

There's no single definition for design thinking. It's an idea, a strategy, a method, and a way of seeing the world. It's grown beyond the confines of any individual person, organization or website. And as it matures, its history deepens and its impact evolves. For IDEO, design thinking is a way to solve problems through creativity. Certainly, it isn't a fail-safe approach; nor is it the only approach. But based on the impact we are seeing in our work, the relevance of design thinking has never been greater.

Design thinking today

Design thinking is maturing. It's moving from a nascent practice to an established one, and with that comes interest and critique. People are debating its definition, pedigree, and value. As a leading and committed practitioner of design thinking, IDEO has a stake in this conversation-and a responsibility to contextualize its value in the present moment and, importantly, in the future.

We've learned a lot over the years, and we'd like to share our insights. We've seen design thinking transform lives and organizations, and on occasion we've seen it fall short when approached superficially, or without a solid foundation of study. Design thinking takes practice; and as a community of designers, entrepreneurs, engineers, teachers, researchers, and more, we've followed the journey to mastery, and developed maps that can guide others.

Designer's mindset

At IDEO, we are a community of designers who naturally share a mindset due to our profession. Our teams include people who've trained in applied fields such as industrial design, environmental architecture, graphic design, and engineering; as well as people from law, psychology, anthropology, and many other areas. Together, we have rallied around design thinking as a way of explaining design's applications and utility so that others can practice it, too. Design thinking uses creative activities to foster collaboration and solve problems in human-centered ways. We adopt a "beginner's mind," with the intent to remain open and curious, to assume nothing, and to see ambiguity as an opportunity.

To think like a designer requires dreaming up wild ideas, taking time to tinker and test, and being willing to fail early and often. The designer's mindset embraces empathy, optimism, iteration, creativity, and ambiguity. And most critically, design thinking keeps people at the center of every process. A human-centered designer knows that as long as you stay focused on the people you're designing for-and listen to them directly-you can arrive at optimal solutions that meet their needs.

Anyone can approach the world like a designer. But to unlock greater potential and to learn how to work as a dynamic problem solver, creative confidence is key. For IDEO founder David Kelley, creative confidence is the belief that everyone is creative, and that creativity isn't the ability to draw or compose or sculpt, but a way of understanding the world.

In todays lecture we took part in an empathy and compassion in design workshop.

We were introduced to having a design thinking approach, but we needed to be compassionate to MoveMentees in order to ideate and implement our fitness plans successfully ('The Chambers Model', Chambers, 2016)

We looked at reflection frameworks such as 'Gibbs' Reflective Model' - which I used to critique my role as a Club Officer at the end of the year.

We were encouraged to independently research 'Design Thinking' in practice, such as the work of Tim Brown (Executive Chair of IDEO), and the Hasso-Platner Institut.

BTEC PE - Components of Skill-Related Fitness

# data[].attributes.body
Todays class was focused on discussing physical activity and exercise.

We looked at areas such as health-related fitness components, skill-related fitness components, the importance of warm-ups, daily PA recommendations, and the differences between moderate & vigorous physical activity.

I learned about the FIIT principle for the first time, describing frequency, intensity, time and type of exercise.

We also learned about the Karvonen Formula - used to calculate maximum heart rate, and the importance and guidelines on nutrition and sleeping.

Introduction to the module.

Introduction to the M2M Program - a 10 week program where we train as MoveMentors, and aim to improve the step count and overall morale of our chosen MoveMentees.

We engaged in the first part of 'Mentor' training today, where we explored topics such as self-determination, types of motivation (intrinsic/extrinsic) and Generational Theory (McCrindle).

We were told to find a suitable MoveMentee by next week.

We discussed 'Why' we wanted to become Mentors, and wrote our 'personal mission' statements. I also completed the 'Myers Briggs Short Test' and the 'Schwartz Portrait Values Questionnaire' to distinguish my personal identity and personal beliefs/values.

Club Officer positions were made available to students. I decided to apply for an Officer position.

Finally, we were given a brief overview of our first module assignment 'Task A'.

# data[].attributes.body
We engaged In the second part of our 'Mentor' training this week.

I was happy to be appointed as 'Secretary' for the M2M Club, and I addressed the class briefly.

We described our MoveMentees using a pseudonym - exploring areas such as needs and insight.

Additionaly, we were introduced to Fuller's Model of Teacher Development.

# data[].attributes.body
My inspiration to involve myself in this program stems from an intrinsic desire to help people. I consider myself as supportive, focused and an empathetic person, and I believe that I can be a positive influence in my MoveMentee's life.

While we know a lot about practices that stimulate new ideas, innovation teams often struggle to apply them. Why? Because people's biases and entrenched behaviors get in the way. In this article a Darden professor explains how design thinking helps people overcome this problem and unleash their creativity.

Though ostensibly geared to understanding and molding the experiences of customers, design thinking also profoundly reshapes the experiences of the innovators themselves. For example, immersive customer research helps them set aside their own views and recognize needs customers haven't expressed. Carefully planned dialogues help teams build on their diverse ideas, not just negotiate compromises when differences arise. And experiments with new solutions reduce all stakeholders' fear of change.

At every phase-customer discovery, idea generation, and testing-a clear structure makes people more comfortable trying new things, and processes increase collaboration. Because it combines practical tools and human insight, design thinking is a social technology -one that the author predicts will have an impact as large as an earlier social technology: total quality management.
