Choices let you lead a life how you want based on beliefs and experience, those choices and responses in life shape your character, your reputation and really, your happiness. @sahar, not sure why you think this has anything to do with religious teaching, and I’d say many religions are based on rules, not choices, but that is a whole other debate.

]]> Comment on Coaching in the Workplace by Hair Chalking http://LearnThis.ca/2012/01/coaching-in-the-workplace/#comment-82107 Hair Chalking Fri, 25 May 2012 14:17:14 +0000 http://LearnThis.ca/?p=4444#comment-82107 I know from personal experience how important it is to tailor coaching methods for specific individuals. Each person learns differently and sometimes it just takes a little extra work for some people. The 5 W questions are a very useful tool for digging deeper into the situation.

]]> Comment on How to Have an Open Mind by Chad Underwood http://LearnThis.ca/2011/01/how-to-have-an-open-mind/#comment-81936 Chad Underwood Wed, 23 May 2012 19:33:50 +0000 http://LearnThis.ca/?p=3713#comment-81936 What i find most interesting about this article is the idea that open mindedness is more associated with those who have beliefs.. as a conservative i have listened to the so called open mindedness debate over the last 15 or so years since i have been paying attention and although this article does give a practical definition of open mindedness, the application of it in real life is pretty much the oposite. like many concepts the idea of open mindedness has been used as a tool to shut down debate and dialogue and generally means that if you have formed an opinion then you don't have an open mind.. even if your opinion is a result of years of listening to others open minded opinions.. in short.. "if you don't believe what i believe then you don't have an open mind.. and i'm not going to listen to your opinion because you are wrong" is essentially how the argument goes.. i have found in my postings on social blogs that asking a question is the best way to make 'open minded' people go away.. in reality idealism wins out over open mindedness and debate any day.. and people generally don't want to think about the hard questions or answer them because (i think) maybe they won't be accepted in their social circle anymore.
