How resisting conformity can lead to real world progress | Todd Rose for Big Think

Thinking as a group and going along with the loudest voices can feel easy and even natural. But to make real positive change in our world, it’s important to hear all voices and question the perceived majority. <br><br>Subscribe to Big Think on YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/c/bigthink <br>Up Next ► Why Americans don’t trust each other https://youtu.be/E4erHIZpnyQ<br><br>Humans are hardwired to conform to the group. And that’s why it feels seamless to go along with what you perceive as the majority’s view. But as a leader and a changemaker, it’s critical to recognize that just because it feels like most people agree on an issue, that doesn’t mean they actually do. <br><br>When you find yourself in a situation where a group of people is pushing forward on something you’re not so sure about, pause and question it. Are all voices being heard? Or are the loudest voices simply altering the group’s perception? <br><br>If you want to make real change in your community, organization, or even your personal life, be sure to hear all voices and think critically outside of the group. <br><br>Collective Illusions is a 9-part series brought to you by Stand Together: a community of changemakers tackling our biggest challenges.

Reggio Emilia Education

In response to the tragedy of World War II, people from the town Reggio Emilia developed a new model of education. War ought to never happen again. <br>The Reggio Emilia approach is based on the philosophy of “an image of a child”. All children are viewed as full of potential, with an innate sense of curiosity and endless imagination. They are creative, capable of constructing their own learning and they have a natural interest to explore. While they follow their own interests, they always stay connected with others. Adults nurture their learning by providing a rich environment and support. <br><br><br>Special thanks to our Patrons: Ari, Avigail, Cedric Wang, Eva Marie Koblin, Julien Dumesnil, G3077r3y C0rc0ran, Roy H Roundy, Mathis and the others.

Building resilience in the workplace | Brent Gleeson

A quick take on building resilience in the workplace from Brent Gleeson – former Navy SEAL, author, and founder of TakingPoint Leadership.<br><br>Get the full lesson from Brent Gleeson for your business: https://bigthink.com/plus/<br><br>How is a boardroom like a battleground? Both spaces require communication, collaboration, and a high degree of mental toughness. In an article for Forbes, Gleeson wrote that his experience in combat gave him, “a highly valuable and applicable set of tools that translated well to entrepreneurship and leadership in business.”<br><br>Of course, most people aren't fighting life-or-death battles at their desks every day – but they do face unique and complex challenges. On top of their normal job responsibilities, today's workforce is grappling with an ongoing global pandemic, political polarization, the effects of climate change, and the day-to-day stressors of balancing work and home life. <br> <br>In such uncertain and chaotic times, why are some employees able to thrive while others are barely scraping by? The difference often lies in their capacity to quickly recover from difficulties, a skill that can be taught in the workplace through resilience training. <br><br>See the full article on building resilience, here: https://bigthink.com/articles/resilience-training/<br><br>Follow Big Think+<br>-LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/big-think-plus<br>-Twitter: https://twitter.com/bigthinkplus<br>-Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bigthinkplus

E6 The Science Behind Career Success | Grace Lordan

"The goal is there to serve two purposes. One so that you start investing in your career and two so that you bring your future self forward so you are not just investing in activities that serve you for the present day" - Dr Grace LordanWe all have big dreams for the future, but to achieve our goals we have to start with small steps.

Waldorf School Education

Support our channel with a small donation at http://www.patreon.com/sprouts<br><br>Waldorf education is based on the principles of Anthroposophy by Rudolf Steiner. Rudolf Steiner founded the first school in 1919 Stuttgart Germany to educate the children of the factory workers from the Waldorf Astoria Zigaretten Fabrik - hence the name. All kids, independent of social status or talent received the same instruction, which made the school a pioneer of social justice in education.<br><br>The goal of Waldorf education is to develop free, but morally responsible individuals equipped with a high degree of social competence and creative capabilities. Factual knowledge, homework and tests scores receive less attention. Storytelling and experimentation are the main method of instruction, textbooks are being avoided.<br><br>Over the twelve-year curriculum, students learn math, literature, history, and science as well as a wide variety of arts and hands-on skills. Elementary students paint, knit, weave and sculpt with wax. Older ones make patterns, books, pottery and sculpt in stone. Everybody learns to do music. First all play the flute, then some play string instruments and others join the choir.<br><br>Students play non-competitive games and learn to dance eurhythmy. They do organic farming and learn two foreign languages, which in the first years are taught through songs, storytelling, and conversations. In grades 8 and 12, the entire class develops a classical drama that they perform in front of their parents and friends.<br><br>Waldorf uses a unique project-based approach to almost all main academic subjects. Instead of repetitive schedules, a specific subject, such as history, math, science or even gardening dominates the first two hours in the morning for a period of 4-6 weeks. After that, a new subject gets the main focus. <br><br>Steiner also invented an experiential approach to science whereby students observe and later describe scientific concepts in their own words and drawings rather than learning about them in a textbook first. Waldorf schools, therefore, consider computers useful to children only in their teens, after they have mastered fundamental, time-honored ways of discovering information and learning.<br><br>In the spirit of personal development and empathy, competition and grades are being avoided.
