A Charity Board PARTNERSHIP/PARTICIPATION.

Effective boards Charity Boards usually take few decisions; they have a much more sophisticated role.

A great Board works in partnership with staff.

The critical ingredient of an effective board is to anticipate decisions.
Boards that anticipate are in command of the organization's affairs. Boards that fail to anticipate find that events run out of control and they are driven by circumstances into crisis management.

All too soon the board finds itself recreating the work of the staff, dragged into the detail and unable to raise itself into a more strategical role.

True partnership is being in Participation which creates Cohesiveness, Climate of Trust, Motivation, Commitment and Development of all humans involved

Olympic Wonderland

"In normal GB land, Andy Murray would have lost to Roger Federer on Sunday. Nick Skelton would have knocked down a fence in the jump-off against the Netherlands. Jason Kenny would have fouled up the sprint cycling and Alistair Brownlee wouldn't even have had a brother, let alone won the triathlon gold medal.

But in Team GB land, all our dreams seem to come true, and we are left feebly bleating: "Amazing! Unbelievable!" at the television. Why the success? Money helps, of course – it helps enormously – as does attitude and natural ability."

From the Independent

FEELINGS ARE SIGNALS. NOT A JUDGEMENT ON YOU.

Pip Wisdom
"The greater the feeling of inferiority that has been experienced,
the more powerful is the urge to conquest
and the more violent the
emotional agitation."

New research re TEENAGE YEARS

Remarkable new research suggests that conventional assumptions about how we mature are wrong – and that young people do not become true adults until they are 24

US researchers warned last year that heavy drinking during the teenage years,
when the brain is still growing,
can affect the brain, particularly the development of spatial memory –
the ability to orientate oneself on a map and recall how to get from place to place.

Alphege’s story is inspirational to modern people

even though it is a thousand years old.

Today, brave men and women across the world are also facing

oppression,

occupation and

violence.

Anyone that stands up to such aggression

deserves to be remembered

and so in this sense Alphege

is very much one of Kent’s and the nation’s heroes.

Many. Multiple interactions have happened since yesterday.

This most Beautiful

She came and showed me her tattoo
Such a privilege
Such an affirmation
Like baring self
Self revelation
Personal

Amongst 130 students in a hall
She delivers non-verbal communication
Beyond Beyond

Thank you
For being so beautiful for me
Go Love the World
Like this.

STUDENTS

A CHALLENGE ....

I am quiet online this week/next week. Sorry not responding to lots of bhp's #YouAreBeautiful

Tell me a LIE

TELL ME A LIE
YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH
THINKING ABOUT IT IS DEVELOPMENTAL
&
THAT IS IMPORTANT TO ME

VIOLENCE
AND
TALKING IT
IS
ONLY HAVING TWO TOOLS IN THE TOOLBOX
FIGHT
OR
FLIGHT

You want to beat him to pulp?
What if he has a knife?
You take a knife
What if he has a gun?
You take a gun

What if you do beat him to pulp?
What will you sleep like?
What when his gang come around?
What will you carry in your belt?

Why do you want to beat him to pulp?
It is a feeling inside
It is a rage inside
It is not a thought
It is a release that you need.

Why not try to understand those feelings?
Why not understand them as signals?
Why not allow signals to consider thinking of options?
Options to release the rage.

We are responsible for our own actions
We can become response-able
Be better than only having one response.

Consider giving life to another - not death?
Consider choosing life for another, AND yourself
Consider love?
Instead of hate.

Deprivation amongst the young.

Kicking out youth deprivation.

The UK is one of the world's most developed economies but,
as Alexandra Topping reports,
nearly 4 million children
are living in poverty.

So what can be done
to improve the life chances
of young people
who are poor.

Behaviour

The fight-or-flight response is like the overdrive on a car.
It comes in handy to get us out of occasional tight spots,
but if we keep the car in overdrive all the time,
the wear and tear on its parts will cause a variety of mechanical problems.

In people, these problems are commonly called
stress or anxiety-related disorders.

iRamble

Wilson Mansions here::
I feel like I need to ramble tonight.
I have feelings which I can share from interactions and activities which I cannot share.

I had a cigar tonight.
First one for a couple of months.
The last one was in the sun in the garden.
The sun was shining - must have been a long time ago.
You BHP's in distant lands may not of heard of our UK August downpours.
The most since records began.

It was also the first cigar in my new car, when I went petrol free motoring,
back in February - before the rocketing gas prices.
It is a Toyota Prius, and it charges the engine power
when I brake
go downhill
go under 40 mph
and the engine stops even when I stop for one second at a traffic light hey hey.

I would love to say that I have had a Cointreau too.
But - at £19 a bottle - no sireeee ....
I have had a single bottle of beer and a great catch up with Joan,
a chicken pasta dish and some plumb crumble hmmmmmmm
(the Sheilas will kill me when they read about the crumble bit!!)

I am feeling guilty, not about the crumble, but about my inbox.
I get oppressed by it's bigness and my inability to love humans by answering them.

I have learned a lot today, this week, this year.
I am set on fire NOT by being with major success stories but
by young humans at the bottom.
I love seeing these beautiful buds of flowers-
opening up to the sun.
Showing their imaginative colours
which are often hidden by all sorts of thorns and leaves -
sometimes called behaviour.
I am encouraged to hear beautiful reflections coming out of their mouths,
direct from souls, so ravaged in poverty.
A poverty that imprisons the spirit.

We can see the behaviour,
but we cannot see their experience.
It is only intimacy which reveals this.
It is only trust which frees the logjam
It is only a climate free from rejection which warms and opens.
It is only time and love that waters the colourful humans into choosing to be all that they can become.

I work to create 'an experience' in a group.
Something which generates feelings.
Level Five stuff.
It takes time - depending on the insecure/secure state of the individuals and therefore the group.
Revealing self needs a climate of trust.
Once this experience happens - it will live with the human for days.
The experience demands attention. Of the reflective type.
A sensitive, aware and skillful worker will ask the appropriate questions afterwards.
NOT 'was it good?'
but 'Tell me what was the best bit'?
The first question will stir up an answer of yes or no.
The second example will result in a human digging into their soul -
Googleing the soul, scanning it all until they can say::
"I felt ...................." and out comes a reflection which makes the earth spin along with it's Creator.

Tennis, Football, a Cigar, a Cointreau,
even The Saints - the best Rugby League team in the world - cannot beat that for thrills in my book ................

I have learned a lot today ...................
... and I would love to reflect more on it ........
