According to Peerayuth Charoensukmongkol (2014) in his paper Benefits of Mindfulness Meditation on Emotional Intelligence, General Self-Efficacy, and Perceived Stress, mindfulness meditation helps manifest emotional intelligence in three major ways:

It improves your ability to comprehend your own emotions.
It helps you learn how to recognize the emotions of other people around you.
It strengthens your ability to govern and control your emotions.

Meet Carolyn Alchin - Career Motivate

GrowthPsych — 2022-11-03 02:33:51 UTC

Hello all, and for some of you Hello again!

My name is Carolyn Alchin. I am a Career Development Practitioner, Career Education Designer, Researcher, PhD student, teacher, Owner of Career Motivate, and not to forget, wife and mum. I have 20 years' experience working in different aspects of education from Early Childhood, through High School, and working with young adults, and career changers. I love my careers, and I love listening to people's stories. My goal is to support individuals and groups to find and reach for their potential, and to have the tools and motivation to get there.

I have experience working with disengaged youth, people on the spectrum, incarcerated youth, private school children, Indigenous youth, returning to work parents, career changers, university students and some pretty interesting clients.

I have worked with Cairns School of Distance Education for almost a year now, and one recommendation I made was to run a workshop to support you as professionals to work with students and families who experience Anxiety. This workshop is being held to support you, and your students' as you move forward in 2023, and as you support young people in the pursuit of their futures.

How could we support Anxious Alba?

Hi there,
I am a hobby farmer, avid gardener, grow your own, DIY enthusiast, environmentalist, mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend and colleague who also happens to be the Principal Psychologist and Practice Owner of Growth Psychology. I have over 15 years’ experience working in the tertiary education context and beyond in private practice consulting.

I support individuals during life's most challenging transitions - I choose this space as I firmly believe that through challenge we grow.

I apply the principles of positive psychology and utilise strengths and values-based approaches to design solutions through appreciative inquiry. I facilitate Career Development Learning and personal development to improve overall well-being and employability, through coaching, facilitation, training and via digital platforms.

I practice mindfulness meditation and engender a Growth Mindset through my commitment to lifelong learning and openness to new and innovative approaches to practice.

SEL Self Awareness, Self-Management, Relationship Skills & Responsible Decision-making: Morning Greeting - an opportunity to promote Social & Emotional Learning (SEL)

GrowthPsych — 2023-01-04 03:14:50 UTC

Providing opportunities and choice in how learners engage each other can support SEL.

Consider how this choice helps develop a student's sense of identity, agency and belonging.

How might you adapt this notion of choice and engagement when greeting online?

How to instructions:

SEL Social Awareness: Embed General Capabilities

GrowthPsych — 2023-01-18 10:45:40 UTC

Explicitly discuss formal versus informal social situations. How do we speak differently to a parent versus a stranger, a prospective employer versus a coach at the gym, a friend versus a teacher. How does language and behaviour change? How is a science report different to a letter to santa? Formal versus informal.... Is this language or behaviour the same across cultures or times? Then practise.

SEL: Relationship Skills: Asynchronous group introductions

GrowthPsych — 2023-01-18 10:46:06 UTC

Create a padlet with each student's name as a column. Set a task for each student to add 3 things about themselves they are comfortable to share. Then comment under another students post to ask further questions.

SEL Responsible Decision Making:

GrowthPsych — 2023-01-18 10:46:38 UTC

Top Tip
Give the student two role models to choose from - a positive and a negative exemplar - Discuss who they would choose and why, and their projected outcomes of that decision.

Providing clear decision-making models:
Evaluating Change
