A critical part of teaching is to create a connection with your students. Building rapport increases motivation. Motivated students learn more and better.

Can you make your partner value you? Unlocking relationship secrets with Olga Geidane

In life's limited time, prioritize cultivating meaningful relationships. Invest in those who uplift and inspire you, fostering connections built on trust, understanding, and shared values. Nurture bonds with family and friends who offer genuine support and contribute positively to your growth. Quality triumphs over quantity – focus on fewer relationships that bring joy and fulfillment. Embrace those who reciprocate effort and bring out the best in you, creating a tapestry of lasting connections that enrich your journey through time. Prioritize the relationships you want to build and keep. 🤝🏻🙌🏻😇 #marshallgoldsmith #relationships #timemanagement #connection #sharedvalues

It’s always about relatedness, again and again. Install relatedness, trust, warmth, authenticity… into your classroom and you’re already halfway there. Consider them classroom foundations on which to build knowledge and curiosity in students. Obviously you need a vehicle to build this relatedness - a means through which you can develop it with and among students: you need well-structured content that strikes a chord with them, a message that they can identify with, information they can imagine mastering in the near future, with some serious effort (indeed, preferably not too easily). And some safe maneuvering space for them to find their own best ways of processing things. But good content without relatedness… insufficient for optimal learning effects!! (And btw, relatedness in the class or lecturing room is sooo much more gratifying for the teacher/lecturer as well!) #teaching #education #effectiveteaching #passionateteaching #motivatingstudents #selfdetermination #selfdeterminationtheory #motivation

A MUSE ON TRUST Trust is the bedrock of enduring relationships. It's the unwavering belief that someone has your best interests at heart. It is not given but rather earned through consistent actions and unwavering commitment. It requires patience, and a willingness to extend vulnerability, knowing that you may face potential hurt. When you trust someone, you lay your heart bare, allowing them into your inner sanctum of thoughts, feelings, and dreams. A great mentor said to me recently "Trust is fragile. It’s earned over time but can be lost in a second." I find this unarguably true. Building trust is a delicate dance, a harmonious blend of honesty, reliability, respect, empathy, and forgiveness. It requires #time, #effort, and #consistent actions. When trust flourishes, #relationships blossom. Trust is not merely a feeling; it is the fertile ground where love grows deeper, friendships solidify, and collaboration thrives. Invest in trust, and watch your relationships flourish. #TheGlobalMan #TENi #mastery #value #progress #trust #growth #successacceleratorhubwitholudayo

Ever wondered why many of our relationships are strained so often .. ? Follow this conversation between friends: A: I do not know why my relationships do not work out the way I wish they did. B: What do you mean by relationships? A: I mean not just with my partner. Even with others at home or elsewhere. B: Hmmm. A: What do you mean by "Hmmm"? B: Nothing really. A: What is this? I am sharing my heart out with you and this is all you have as response? B: Hold on buddy. A: This is disappointing. B: Please do not judge. Relax. A: I think I made a mistake opening up with you. B: You are getting this wrong. A: I least expected this from you. B: Okay. Can I share something? A: What? B: When I said "Hmmm" I was just thinking through and understanding your situation well enough to respond. A: Go ahead. B: But you rushed to charge upon me without understanding what I was doing. A: Oh. Ok. B: May be this is your area to work on. Seek first to understand others before you expect them to understand you and meet your expectations. A: Guess it is my turn to say "Hmmm" now. B: Hahaha. #ManagingRelationships #WorkingTogether #Coexixtence #WinWin #Mindset #UnderstandingOthers

Embracing authentic connections 🌟 I've realized something important: It's time to stop forcing relationships out of fear and start embracing those who genuinely want to be in my life. Remember: ☀️People have the freedom to choose who they connect with. ☀️Not everyone will like us, and that's perfectly okay. ☀️Healthy relationships grow naturally, not through force. Let's focus on nurturing connections that feel right and bring positivity to our lives. Who's with me on this journey of self-discovery and authentic relationships? #AuthenticRelationships #SelfGrowth #MutualConnections
