To accept and appreciate the wrong pronunciation / accent for the Spoken English Learners from the beginning is the right and the most effective method to teach and learn English to speak rapidly and fluently! Because the accent or right pronunciation issue of teaching or training culture in language learning is in fact the prime cause to create shyness, fear and disappointment among the learners and ultimately destroy their desire and dream to learn speak English and it also true for the learners of any other foreign languages are taught through English! Whereas the more languages a person will learn, the more that person could beyond the border without barrier! Again the more languages a person if be learnt; the more knowledge, wisdom, informative, competent and sensible / smart Leader would that person be!

Last Saturday I was shopping for wedding shoes. As the sales assistant was signing me up for a rewards program she asked me what my surname will be once I’m married. I said “Pride”! We joked about why I want to keep my name – it is a good one! More importantly, I’ve been Kathryn Pride for my whole life. I often receive messages from candidates and clients who haven’t been in touch for a few years and who want to re-engage. Occasionally old friends reconnect. I wondered what sort of value I could attribute to having this consistent identity for such a long time.   This post below gave me pause for thought for the same reason. It is straightforward to attach a value to moving jobs; a new compensation package will do that for you! Assessing the value of staying in place is less tangible, but no less valuable. I’ve been at Dartmouth Partners for just over 10 years and being at one firm for that time gives a similar sort of name recognition benefit. As I reflect on my tenure, there have been many highlights, but what stands out to me most are: * The trust that comes from working with the same team for a long time. This is so much more apparent when you’re in another country and time zone! * What you gain by staying put during the tough times. Learning from and having the opportunity to correct my mistakes. Persevering through bad markets and getting better together.   Jane Fraser talks about measuring success in decades. This one has flown by, but the change has been profound! Excited to see what the next 10 years have in store! 

In the words of Indiana Jones, 'It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage.' And that rings true in the professional landscape we navigate. It’s the experiences, challenges, and achievements we amass over time that define our paths. Consider this as you outline your business strategies and professional milestones. Let's drive value with each mile we venture in our careers.

Summer has really been flying by working alongside as wonderful colleagues like Tiffany Moore, M.S., Cole Kocurek, Alexa Koerth, and Rachel Davis. This cohort here in Houston really have been a highlight of my time here at Reed Smith. - Jon Griffith #IntellectualProperty #IP #SummerAssociateTakeover 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘚𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘈𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘛𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴.

"Over the summer I had the opportunity to do research at Brown University. It's not an exaggeration to say it was the best summer of my life." If you've wondered what our "Artificial Intelligence for Computational Creativity" NSF Summer REU Site is like (it's a 9-week, fully-funded, summer residential program that brings students to campus to conduct original research with Brown CS faculty and grad students), check out this video from Ezra, one of our alums: https://lnkd.in/ehQpj7dc

Yesterday was my first opportunity to attend the Illinois Education and Career Success Network annual conference. The theme - Awareness to Action - resonated throughout the day and left me feeling even more energized to create more equitable postsecondary pathways for young people. A few thoughts that are sticking with me: 1. “We’re asking students the wrong questions”. In a session focused on leveraging state frameworks like PaCE, I was validated when thinking about how important it is to put the idea of “what/who do you want to be…” in front of students versus leading advising conversations with thoughts simply about what college students want to attend. 2. “We need to shift the burden from the students to the system”. In multiple sessions, this thought came through. Simply by being a part of an unjust system means you have the proximity and power to play a role in fixing that system so that it better supports the students and families it is meant to serve. All of this has me even more excited to be a part of an organization like OneGoal that is focused on leading the movement to transform postsecondary advising and support. Onward!

A recent report concludes that incoming #graduatestudents do not get the attention they need during onboarding.     Institutions often assume that graduate students are adequately prepared to succeed in their post-baccalaureate studies because they made it through undergrad. Unfortunately, this assumption neglects graduate students' specific intersectional and developmental needs.      You can provide prospective and new graduate students with an engaging online orientation during their journey to bridge this often-overlooked information gap.  https://lnkd.in/eD3iPhDG

Fall is a perfect time to get a wall-to-wall inventory of fixed assets and movable equipment. Once your newly purchased items are in place and your students and teachers are back in the groove, it's the perfect time for getting an accurate accounting of where everything is located.
