They complete a 56- or 84-hour training program, listen to English audio, watch films in the original version\u2026 and yet, sometimes, a frustration appears:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m making the effort, but I don\u2019t really see any progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This frustration is understandable. When we invest time and energy in learning a language, we want to see the results of our efforts. But in some cases, an essential element is missing from the equation.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we have access to extraordinary tools:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>automatic translators to write emails<\/li>\n<li>subtitles for watching films<\/li>\n<li>apps that provide answers immediately<\/li>\n<li>digital assistants that rephrase our sentences<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These technologies are useful. They make our daily lives easier.<\/p>\n<p>But when it comes to language learning, they can sometimes create the illusion of progress.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take two very common situations.<\/p>\n<p>A learner:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>uses a translator to write an email in English<\/li>\n<li>watches a film with subtitles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In both cases, the task is completed. But the brain itself has not really learned.<\/p>\n<p>Because the cognitive effort \u2014 the effort of searching for a word, reformulating an idea, tolerating a degree of uncertainty \u2014 has been bypassed.<\/p>\n<p>Research in cognitive psychology shows that durable learning follows a simple principle: the brain consolidates what costs effort. Researcher Robert A. Bjork refers to this as \u201cdesirable difficulties\u201d: certain difficulties in the learning process strengthen long-term memory.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, when we have to guess the meaning of a sentence or rephrase an idea using limited vocabulary, the brain creates much stronger neural connections.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, when the answer appears immediately through a translator, a subtitle \u2014 or is given by the facilitator \ud83d\ude09 \u2014 the information passes through\u2026 but it does not stick.<\/p>\n<p>This phenomenon does not concern language learning alone.<\/p>\n<p>After decades of rising IQ scores \u2014 a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect, identified by James R. Flynn \u2014 some studies now show a stagnation, and even a decline, in cognitive performance in several Western countries.<\/p>\n<p>The causes are multiple, but some researchers point to the impact of an environment where answers are always instantly available.<\/p>\n<p>We have more information than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>But we engage our capacity for deep thinking less and less.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that progress always appears once the balance is restored.<\/p>\n<p>Learning then becomes what it has always been: a process that can sometimes be demanding, but profoundly transformative.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-custom_color_18);\" id=\"AuthorName\"><p><a

style=\"--awb-content-alignment:justify;\"><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Throughout the last few years, while working with learners, I\u2019ve noticed that giving feedback doesn\u2019t come naturally to everyone \u2013 and when it does, it isn\u2019t always expressed in a constructive way. Giving feedback requires care \u2013 especially in using the right tone and having a clear intention to help someone evolve rather than simply correct them. When the message is consistent and easy to hear, it almost feels magical: it\u2019s acknowledged and respected. Communication flows, trust is built, and learning begins to take shape.<br \/>\nSo\u2026why is it so difficult?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Because it touches on our humanity.<br \/>\nGiving feedback is daring to create a moment of discomfort; receiving feedback is accepting a bit of vulnerability. Too often, the message isn\u2019t really heard:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">too straight forward, too poorly phrased, or too vague to be useful. The article \u00ab The essential Role of Feedback in Effective Communication \u00bb by FasterCapital reminds us that effective communication relies on feedback loops \u2013 in other words, a conversation where the information flows and adjusts itself rather than a one-way transmission. Feedback isn\u2018t an arrow that you throw; it\u2019s a living loop between two people. For the loop to work, there\u2019s a key ingredient: meaning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Harvard Business Review article \u00ab Why Feedback Can Make Work More Meaningful \u00bb highlights that feedback is not only about improving performance \u2013 it makes work more meaningful. In other words, well-formulated feedback doesn\u2019t just say \u00ab here\u2019s what you should change. \u00bb &#8211; it also implies \u00ab here\u2019s why what you do brings value \u00bb.<br \/>\nThat recognition turns feedback into motivation and learning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">By the way, where does the word \u00ab feedback \u00bb come from?<br \/>\nIt originally appeared in the fields of engineering and cybernetics in the 1940s. It was used to describe a feedback mechanism: the output signal of a system that returns to its input to correct or stabilize it. That\u2019s the principle of a ship\u2019s rudder which adjusts its course through feedback to stay on track. Over time, the concept migrated into communication, education, and management.<br \/>\nToday, feedback keeps that technical essence \u2013 observe, correct, improve \u2013 but it also has a human dimension: listen, understand, grow.

We continue to find meaning in the orchestra analogy: What added value does the conductor (facilitator) bring? What can a musician (learner) do or cannot do alone using the range of instruments (tools and technology) and music (content) available? And how do we integrate new instruments into the orchestra? When television first appeared, many predicted the end of radio, and our good old books still have a special place in our lives\u2026 Today, as artificial intelligence opens up new possibilities, we are once again invited to reflect and to keep adjusting the balance within the orchestra in our organizations or across society.<\/p>\n<p>We know that we are going to be able to delegate many time-consuming tasks to AI. In my view, this presents both an opportunity and a potential threat.<\/p>\n<p>AI can give us the space to develop our emotional and intuitive intelligence. Let\u2019s remember that the end of the domination of a narrow view of intelligence &#8211; the kind that helps us ace IQ tests (or not \ud83d\ude09) &#8211; is still very recent. The American psychologist Howard Gardner, creator of the theory of multiple intelligences, was among one of the first to challenge that limited perspective\u2026 This was in the 80\u2019s! He identified several types of intelligence, including two \u201cpersonal\u201d intelligences directly connected to understanding human nature: interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence. And according to Gardner, these capacities are essential to finding fulfillment and one\u2019s path in life\u2026<\/p>\n<p>This theory gave rise to the emotional intelligence movement. It was the American psychologist and science journalist Daniel Goleman who made this concept mainstream with his global bestseller <strong><em>Emotional Intelligence<\/em><\/strong>. One of Goleman\u2019s core insights is that our emotions guide us to make the right decision, faster than rational thinking, when we embrace them without feeling overwhelmed.<\/p>\n<p>Following in the footsteps of emotional intelligence, intuition, a topic of neuroscience research, is the hallmark of our unconscious intelligence. It draws on a range of abilities connected to self-awareness and awareness of others\u2026 which are key concepts in the \u201cMirror\u201d of the MMAPPER model.<\/p>\n<p>A few years ago, I had the privilege to meet Dr. Stephen Karpman, an American psychiatrist and heir to Eric Berne, best known for his \u00ab\u00a0Drama Triangle\u00a0\u00bb. That evening, in a small and intimate gathering in our Paris offices, I had the opportunity to discover the extra-ordinary potential of my own intuitive intelligence\u2026<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion the main threat lies in that we could slowly lose the ability to follow the logical and deductive learning process that allows us to know how to do so many things today. Thus, we risk under-stimulating our IQ and becoming dependent on technology. And we know that for any meaningful project to be carried out, there needs to be a journey behind it. This concern is also reported in the documentary series <strong><em>AI at Work<\/em><\/strong> by Samuel Durand.<\/p>\n<p>To conclude, the challenges we face related to the development of AI are many:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Making the effort to take a step out regularly to define the right place for both humans and machines<\/li>\n<li>Daring to develop our emotional and intuitive intelligence<\/li>\n<li>Continuing to cultivate our IQ.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What concerns me today is seeing the number of teams continuing to overfocus on productivity and struggling with communication\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Still, I remain optimistic about human potential and the power of collective intelligence \u2013 which I hope will always surpass the capabilities of AI \u2013 and continue to coach teams with the same passion I\u2019ve had since day one.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s cultivate human connections rather than connections between human beings and machines.<\/p>\n<\/div><div

style=\"--awb-content-alignment:justify;\"><p>CARPE DIEM is one of the key concepts of the Pleasure pillar of MMAPPER. A concept that rarely leaves our learners indifferent, brings a sparkle to the eye of some, leaves others skeptical. A notion which for many doesn\u2019t have a place in the workplace. Just as it had no place within the walls of the prestigious Welton academy in \u201cDead Poets Society&#8221;, A film that is a reference for ImpaQt in terms of pedagogical philosophy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CARPE DIEM is a famous verse from the \u201cOdes\u201d of the Roman poet Horace (23 or 22 BC).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>La formule compl\u00e8te est \u00ab Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero \u00bb, litt\u00e9ralement \u00ab cueille le jour, et [sois] la moins cr\u00e9dule [possible] pour le [jour] suivant. It summarizes the text which precedes it where the poet seeks to persuade Leucono\u00e9 to take advantage of the present moment and derive all possible joy from it, without worrying about death.<\/p>\n<p>Psychological studies on the subject demonstrate that an active carpe diem approach has two facets:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8211; Focus on the present<\/li>\n<li>&#8211; Being aware of the value of each moment of our life, in connection with the awareness of the inevitability of our death.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, this quote is often misinterpreted, and seen as an invitation to hedonism, to enjoy the present moment and satisfy immediate needs, without asking yourself any questions, hardly compatible with the serious and reasonable world of work.<\/p>\n<p>However, Horace&#8217;s CARPE DIEM is associated with a notion of balance in pleasure that we find in MMAPPER with its cursor. CARPE DIEM is not \u201cAll play &amp; no work\u201d; it\u2019s bringing touches of lightness and pleasure into our daily life, it\u2019s tasting and savoring \u201cthe marrow of life\u201d; for example, by offering and receiving gratitude and recognition from colleagues, or by taking the time to celebrate and savor individual and collective success.<\/p>\n<p>It is also and above all an invitation to change our relationship with time.<\/p>\n<p>The famous English translation \u201cSeize the day\u201d by Dr Keating invites us to be an actor of our life, to dare to seize opportunities without postponing them until tomorrow. In MMAPPER terms, CARPE DIEM is associated with both the Pleasure pillar and the Actor pillar. It&#8217;s about not wasting time dwelling on the past but learning from our past mistakes, and not worrying about the future but acting now to build it rather than postponing things until later.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some examples of how it can be applied in the world of work: deciding to focus on a priority subject during a meeting where usually all subjects are quickly reviewed and actions postponed until later. Or organizing an \u201coff\u201d moment to connect with team members rather than promising to do it when the team will be less busy\u2026which will probably never happen. It is not a question of not taking into account the constraints of the organization and the reality of the situation, but of not giving in to the system and constantly postponing the important things.<\/p>\n<p>This is how an active individual and collective CARPE DIEM approach can allow a team to flourish and take on extraordinary challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Remember and savor without moderation the enigmatic voice of Dr. Keating whispering to his students:<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab Carpe\u2026carpe\u2026carpe diem\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>Seize the day boys<\/p>\n<p>Make your lives extraordinary !

According to the same study, companies with equal employment opportunity policies and cultures that encourage gender diversity are almost 60% more likely to see their profits increase.<br \/>\nHowever, just like empowerment, inclusion cannot be decreed&#8230; And diversity and inclusion in companies, as in society, despite all the best intentions in the world, can prove to be real pitfalls when they are not, or not sufficiently, supported.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In fact, what is inclusion?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Inclusion is a relatively recent holistic concept. It&#8217;s about creating environments where all people, whatever their differences, are valued and respected. Inclusion recognizes that everyone has the right to fully participate in the collective without having to conform to a dominant norm. Inclusion thus goes further than integration, which often implies that people have to adapt to the existing system, which can lead to a loss of cultural identity and the need to change their behavior in order to fit in.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an image that explicitly illustrates the difference between integration and inclusion:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloghoptoys.fr\/difference-inclusion-integration\">Quelle est la diff\u00e9rence entre int\u00e9gration et inclusion ? (bloghoptoys.fr) <\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong> How do you go from integration to inclusion?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a team whose DNA is international, where team members define themselves as citizens of the world and have a good command of English, inclusion seems self-evident. The problem for these teams is more to do with distance and lack of face-to-face contact than inclusion. The curiosity and desire to discover others is there, and the way they look at each other is fundamentally +\/+: &#8220;I have value. You are valuable. So we can relate to each other and cooperate&#8221;. Creating the conditions for team members to connect on a human level remains necessary and can be sufficient.<\/p>\n<p>The situation is quite different when dealing with a team where a dominant culture exists. To move from integration to inclusion, long-term support is required. First and foremost, we feel it&#8217;s essential to ensure that new team members from abroad have a good command of the team&#8217;s language, and if this isn&#8217;t the case, to support them towards a level of operationality right from the start of their integration, if not ideally beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, especially in the case of the integration of new profiles chosen by top management, not everyone wants to dance, and even less so with &#8220;just anybody&#8221;. So how do you get everyone to want to dance together? Unfortunately, there&#8217;s no magic formula, and the process can take varying lengths of time. It&#8217;s a question of getting everyone to dare to look at themselves in the mirror, to appreciate their bright sides and accept their darker sides and associated cognitive biases\/preconceived ideas, then gradually recognizing the other as someone who is both different and reflects something of themselves, of their humanity; someone they recognize, to whom they can offer a genuine smile and to whom they can open the door to the idea of one day being able to &#8220;dance&#8221; together&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-meta-info\"><div class=\"fusion-alignleft\"><span class=\"vcard\" style=\"display: none;\"><span class=\"fn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/impaqt.net\/en\/author\/hana\/\" title=\"Posts by Hana Radazad\" rel=\"author\">Hana Radazad<\/a><\/span><\/span><span class=\"updated\" style=\"display:none;\">2024-09-12T08:52:47+02:00<\/span><span>2024, Thursday, September 12<\/span><span class=\"fusion-inline-sep\">|<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/article>\n<article id=\"blog-1-post-3598\" class=\"fusion-post-large post-3598 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-food-for-thought-en tag-newsletter-2024-march\">\n\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/style>\n\n\n<div class=\"fusion-post-content post-content\"><div class=\"fusion-post-content-container\"><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2-6 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"width:104% !important;max-width:104% !important;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-12 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-flex-grow:0;--awb-flex-shrink:0;--awb-margin-top-large:30px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:30px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-flex-grow-medium:0;--awb-flex-shrink-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-flex-grow-small:0;--awb-flex-shrink-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-12 fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-six\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;--awb-sep-color:#c6c6c6;--awb-font-size:1em;\"><div class=\"title-sep-container title-sep-container-left fusion-no-large-visibility fusion-no-medium-visibility fusion-no-small-visibility\"><div class=\"title-sep sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#c6c6c6;\"><\/div><\/div><span class=\"awb-title-spacer fusion-no-large-visibility fusion-no-medium-visibility fusion-no-small-visibility\"><\/span><h6 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;font-size:1em;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.5;\">Food for Thought<\/h6><span class=\"awb-title-spacer\"><\/span><div class=\"title-sep-container title-sep-container-right\"><div class=\"title-sep sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#c6c6c6;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-13 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-four\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h4 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:43.2;line-height:1.2;\"><span style=\"color: #232854;\">How to prevent burnout?

I have a poignant anecdote on this subject: that of a man who, during an act of development, declared: \u201cI would be ready to sacrifice everything for my work\u201d. I can still remember the expression on his face when his words were returned to him&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>By the way, what is burn-out?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Burn-out, a syndrome of physical and psychological exhaustion, is the final stage of chronic work-related stress&#8230; which has not been managed in time. It is characteristic of people with a committed and\/or perfectionist nature. Because, as Richard often says, we all have the defects of our qualities&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, the causes of burn-out are both internal AND external. They are both linked to an individual&#8217;s shortcomings AND to excesses in collective demand. In the same way, I believe that lasting solutions can only be found individually and collectively.<\/p>\n<p>The beginnings of a burn-out manifest themselves as follows: when the VERY becomes TOO MUCH and\/or the FEW becomes NOT ENOUGH: too much load, too much pressure, too many action plans, too much too much&#8230; and not enough time, not enough prioritization, not enough support, too much not enough&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the keys to preventing burn-out?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, the 1st key to preventing burn-out is a good understanding of ourselves, our needs and our warning signs, those subtle behaviours &#8211; such as difficulties in delegating or a tendency to see only what&#8217;s wrong &#8211; which, when they become long-lasting and intense, can gradually lead us to burn-out when we are in a (too) demanding professional environment.<\/p>\n<p>The 2nd is to build caring teams where people know each other well and are attentive to each other. So, when a member of the collective is in difficulty, the collective can offer support, which will be all the easier if a spirit and practices of co-development are established.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And how can MMAPPER help prevent burn-out?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As an individual positioning tool, MMAPPER enables an individual to visualize the fact that he\/she is no longer in balance, or even in danger of breaking down, when he\/she positions him\/herself at one or other of the extremes &#8211; on the TOO much or NOT ENOUGH side of the cursor. And once it has been appropriated as a tool for personal and professional development, MMAPPER then enables the individual to define relevant objectives and implement concrete actions, if necessary with the support of the collective.<\/p>\n<p><strong>G\u00e9raldine Berruto<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-meta-info\"><div class=\"fusion-alignleft\"><span class=\"vcard\" style=\"display: none;\"><span class=\"fn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/impaqt.net\/en\/author\/hana\/\" title=\"Posts by Hana Radazad\" rel=\"author\">Hana Radazad<\/a><\/span><\/span><span class=\"updated\" style=\"display:none;\">2024-08-30T13:24:37+02:00<\/span><span>2024, Friday, August 30<\/span><span class=\"fusion-inline-sep\">|<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/article>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-14 fusion_builder_column_1_4 1_4 fusion-one-fourth fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:25%;width:calc(25% -
