Building Effective Communication Epictetus' philosophical quote, "We have two ears and one mouth, so we can listen twice as much as we speak," comes to mind when discussing active listening and building effective communication. Follow these tips to build effective communication with your audience. Give the speaker your undivided attention by making eye contact to boost engagement. Use verbal and nonverbal cues such as nodding in approval and chipping phrases like "I can imagine" and "Hmm, I see." Summarise and reiterate what you've heard to let your speaker know s/he's been heard #listeningeffectively #communication #health4you

December came in with a bang December is a month of peace and celebration, known for its bliss, spirit of merriment, and festivity. It's the perfect time to squash old beef, resolve conflicts, and mend fences as we look forward to a great year in 2025. Here are some strategies to resolve conflicts in workplaces or anywhere: > Identify the problem and understand all the underlying issues that have ensued. > Approach the conflict and all underlying issues with empathy and acknowledge others' feelings. > Let go of pride be open to collaborating and finding solutions that don't favor one person over another. → Avoid competition and make a compromise. Conflicts arise, but it's how we resolve them that truly matters. #CollaborateNotCompete #CelebrateUnity #ResolveAndRejoice #Endtheyearright

Do you know that young students are attuned to their teachers' moods, no matter how hard they try to hide their stress? A teacher who suffers from daily episodes of depressing feelings isn't in the right state of mind to impact the school community positively. That's the thing about depression! Quick tips on how to improve teachers' well-being: • School authorities can make the workload manageable by encouraging a culture of work-life balance. • Good remuneration and improved work incentives go a long way toward boosting teachers' morale and keeping them happy on the job • NGOs can develop targeted training interventions specifically towards improving the well-being and mental health of teachers. The happier the teacher, the better for young students' mental health.

Ever heard the saying “Garbage in, garbage out”? Well, in the world of youth development, the quality of life we impact on young people is directly linked to the quality of life of those guiding them. Whether you're a teacher, mentor, or someone working with teens and young adults, your influence shapes their future. The emotional well-being, behavior, and success of young people reflect what they receive from those around them. Emotional Well-Being = Success, Mental health isn’t just a “nice-to-have”, it’s the backbone of everything. When teens and young adults are supported emotionally, they thrive academically and socially. A teenager who feels safe, valued, and understood is more likely to succeed. when we invest in their mental health, we get better outcomes across the board.
