On the 27th of August, Dr. James Grady and Dr. Victoria Grady were pleased to present a program for regional high school principals at Jacksonville State University, focusing on the nature of the reactions found in teachers as the result of the introduction of new technologies in primary and secondary school classrooms. These reactions, or symptoms, have been found to resemble the findings of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross as published in her book "On Death and Dying". An understanding of the nature of these consequences will assist school administrators in the development of a plan to mitigate any negative reactions.

Excerpts from The Pivot Point Book # 1 - PivotPoint Business Solutions

It's been a while since we talked about our book, The Pivot Point: Success in Organizational Change.

Dive in to this excerpt from our book and let us know - have you ever noticed changes in your colleague's behavior that affected the workplace?

Excerpts from The Pivot Point Book # 1 Whether we are aware of it or not, change affects the way we act—we behave differently, at least for a while. When we behave differently at work, it affects our work performance; perhaps we are not as efficient as we should be.… read more →

Emotions Are Data, Too

Occasionally we find something posted that deserves more attention, and this article by Dr. Gianpiero Petriglieri is one such article.

Take a moment to read and more seriously consider emotion in all of it's aspects and manifestations.

And they’re not all about us.
