Need a Little Inspiration in Your Career Fictional Characters May Be the Key

Need a Little Inspiration in Your Career Fictional Characters May Be the Key Need a Little Inspiration in Your Career Fictional Characters May Be the Key For instance,you may regard yourself as sharing some of the characteristics of an inspirational leader of men, so you model yourself after such a character.In this sense, it isnt much different from forming a connection with a living person that we dont personally know.There is a technical term to describe such relationships parasocial. Parasocial relationships exist largely in our heads, free from the risks and constraints of more typical real-life relationships.Real-life inspirations tend to occur when a person motivates us to expand our knowledge and perspectives.So, a real-life inspiration may be particularly wise or go about their work in a particularly interesting way.Whatever they offer, they help us to envision a better version of ourselves, thus driving us to work to achieve that version.But can fictional people do that, too?Psychological studies suggest that they can. For example, participants in one study were asked to read a short story about a young man running a race.After reading the story, they were asked to rate howlikable the character wasand how relevant the character was to them.They were also asked to do the same thing for a couple of television characters (one of their choosing, the other chosen for them) and two people from their own lives.Perhaps unsurprisingly, close friends were found to be most inspirational.Next up was the self-selected TV character, followed by the other TV character, with casual acquaintances bringing up the rear.The key to the inspiration quotient was the similarity of the individual to the participants ideal self.Broadly speaking, this isa positive sign, as it shows that our potential pool of inspirational characters is almost limitless. Indeed, immersion into narrative worlds can create opportunities for growth in which experiences, perspectives, and knowledg e of fictional characters prompt readers own development. Parasocial relationships can provide role models, especially for those who are temporarily or chronically isolated, those who have limited social relationships, and/orthose with homogenous social groups.So, if youre ever looking for someone to look up to, consider a fictional inspiration to help encourage you to progredienz and find your lost enthusiasm especially in the absence of a real life role model.

The Ethical Lessons of Deepwater

The Ethical Lessons of Deepwater The Ethical Lessons of Deepwater For engineers, playing it safe is never the easy way out. Early December 2010 saw the release of two reports issued by groups tasked with deconstructing the deadly and devastating Deepwater Horizon Spill that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico.The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling commission, appointed by President Obama, and the Deepwater Horizon Study Group (DHSG), formed by members of the Center for Catastrophic Risk Management (CCRM) at UC Berkeley, pointed toward many of the same failures.The DHSGs 60 university professors, accident investigators, petroleum engineers, social scientists, environmental advocates, and directors of research centers did go one step further, however, by directly linking mismanagement by the wells owner, British Petroleum, with its drive for profit. Analysis of the available evidence indicates that when given the opportunity to save time and moneyand make moneytradeoffs were made for the certain thingproductionbecause there were perceived to be no downsides associated with the uncertain thingfailure caused by the lack of sufficient protection.With oil and gas development in the deep waters of the Gulf, Arctic, and other new frontier areas set to continue, the DHSG also contends that the risks of such exploration and production pose likelihoods and consequences of catastrophic failures, that are several orders of magnitude greater than previously confronted.Pondering the Worst CaseThe prospects of failures far more severe are chilling. Yet, Lehigh University Professor John Kenly Smith, a chemical engineer who specializes in the history of technology, believes that forcing stakeholders to ponder the absolute worst is the only way to grapple with whats really at stake. If you are going to work in an environment where its physically impossible to go down there and get your hands on the technology, you really have to think of the unthinkable and nobody wants to do that, says Smith. Ill bet every day on that platform there were engineers thinking, If we have a blowout on this thing what will we do?What have we learned in the months since the worst that could happen, in fact, did? Perhaps not much thats new, says Smith, who believes some of the safety failures that led to the disaster stem from whats all predictably human and imperfect in all of us. Whats also clear is that engineers who design and maintain complex systems are in a tough spot. Here, Smith cites a few lessons of the spill1. Numbers can be deceiving. Theres tremendous pressure in the corporate and scientific worlds to convert uncertainty to risk, says Smith. Take an uncertainty, assign it a probability number then run it through a model to obtain data on how likely a failure might be. The dicke bretter bohren mssen, though, says Smith, who during his career in industry investigated a number of serious job-related accidents, is that 999 times, people get away with doing un safe things, and its only the 1,000th time that something horrible happens.2. Safety has to be hardwired into a firms SOP. Smith cites the success of companies like DuPontthe subject of a book he coauthored, Science and Corporate Strategy DuPont RD, 1902-1980with rewarding teams with the best safety records. You have to really drill it into people and create counterincentives that make them stop and say Will I cost everyone their prize if I get hurt? A hard-core safety-first stand also can relieve the tension between line functions that bring in the money and the staff people (i.e., engineers who raise the red flags). This is where ethics come in, says Smith The staff functions and engineers need to have the clout to make themselves heard.3. Simplicity has its virtues (i.e., technical controls can create a false sense of security). The jury is still out on why the Deepwater Horizon blowout preventer failed. Even if results of the investigations lead to future fixes, blind faith in t echnology can be dangerous, Smith warns When facing a problem theres a tendency to add equipment like a blowout preventer, and think Problem solved. In this case, it didnt work. Additionally, he cautions, adding complexity to a system can inject more ways the pieces of the system can interact and produce unpredictable outcomes.4. Think broadly. As the saying goes Its not enough to guard against the failures that have already occurred. Those that havent happened yet are the ones to fear most. Organizations need to prepare for the unthinkable, and when that happens, go beyond devising ways to keep that particular failure from happening again. Engineers are taught to be problem solvers rather than broad thinkers, says Smith. When something goes wrong, the focus should be on what was the thinking that got us in this position?5. Know where you work. Engineers, says Smith, have always faced one central dilemma Are we independent professionals who provide objective assessments based on our training and ethics? Or are we employees who do what the boss says? Clearly society needs the former, and because of that, he contends, its important to know an organizations history before you join it As a young engineer buried down at the bottom of an org chart, you might not see much or really know what a distribution policy is about. But studying up on whos running the company and the values it was founded upon can provide important clues about what to expect when its time to take a tough stand.Marion Hart is an independent writer.999 times, people get away with doing unsafe things, and its only the 1,000th time that something horrible happens.John Kenly Smith, Professor, Lehigh University

The Best Live Shot for TV News Reporters

The Best Live Shot for TV News ReportersThe Best Live Shot for TV News ReportersAll TV news reporters remember their first live shot. Its both thrilling and terrifying to know that what youre saying is being transmitted instantly into thousands of homes. Because there are no do-overs, you need to master the live shot in order to improve your resume tape or DVD and win television media awards. ansicht top 5 live shot tips for TV news reporters will help you deliver quality content, whether youre covering a school board meeting or a natural weather disaster. Plan How You Want to Use Your Live Shot A live shot is a tool for reporting, just like a TV interview, graphics, or other parts of a news package. While you cant control everything the moment you go live, you can decide how going live will improve your story. Many live shots happen outside of buildings, such as city hall. While you wont have the incredible visuals of a fire behind you, you can reinforce the timely aspect of you r report by saying, Im live in front of city hall, where inside these doors just moments ago, the city council voted to cut 1,000 employees from the payroll. You are telling the audience you are on the scene, covering the latest developments as they happen. Surprisingly, in breaking news situations, its actually easier to plan your live shot. If youre in a tornado-ravaged neighborhood, you can do a show-and-tell report by pointing out what you see and interviewing those affected by the disaster. Another common live shot scenario is covering a news conference or speech. Youll want to start by introducing the event, then letting it unfold, then delivering a wrap-up. However, these situations can be tricky because you need fill-in material. If your live shot of a 500 p.m. news conference doesnt start until 510 p.m. youll need to fill ten minutes of air time. Why Talking in an Outline Format Works Organizing what you want to say is critical in delivering a smooth live shot. Beginner s often try to memorize every word, but thats dangerous. If you forget one tiny piece of information youll stumble through your report, or worse, freeze on-air. Its better to talk in an outline format. Think about the bullet points you want to hit, as if you were giving a PowerPoint presentation. You can visualize the bullet points or go a step further and visualize what you want to say in pictures. For the city hall live shot, they would picture the building, the city council sitting at a large table, and then the 1,000 people with pink slips. If you Stumble in Your Live Shot, Keep Going We all stumble occasionally when we talk with friends or family, so its inevitable youll stumble occasionally while talking during a live shot. When this happens, recovery is key. To prepare for the inevitable, think about what you do when you stumble in real life. Youll likely say the word correctly, then continue speaking. No big deal, and more importantly, no one remembers your brief verbal hiccup. The goal is to achieve a natural recovery in your live shot. The more you make your live shot look natural, even when you stumble, the more professional youll appear. When Appropriate, Move Around Youve seen reporters for the broadcast networks deliver countless live shots in front of the White House. They all stand still speaking into their microphone. Its easy to assume thats the model to follow for any live shot because thats how the big shots do it. However, what works in D.C. doesnt necessarily work at a state fair, protest march, or natural disaster. As a reporter, you have the option to move around while reporting live. Remember, viewers want you to show them something, so dont disappoint them. Take viewers somewhere they cant go on their own. Walk around the state fair and point out the attractions. Use the camera at the protest march to show just how many people are there. Demonstrate the depth of a natural disaster by showing a residents home filled with water. Its easier than you think. Once you add movement to your live shot, the words will flow because you will be talking about what youre seeing. A moving live shot requires practice with your videographer because they need to know you have enough cable for their camera and your microphone. You and your videographer need to rehearse your movements in advance to ensure you stay in focus and in the frame. Failing to communicate with your videographer can result in a disaster thatll be captured on live TV. Wrap up Your Live Shot and Push the Story Forward The perfect live shot shouldnt wither in its final moments. Thats why you must plan ahead of time how youll wrap-up yourYou also need to think about where your story goes once the camera is turned off. After all, most stories dont end once you head back to the station. The people whose homes are flooded are now waiting to hear back from their insurance companies to see if their insurance will cover the damage is a good way to wrap up and position yourself for a follow-up report. Understandably, its tough to manage all the live shot components while acting naturally. However, reporters are expected to excel at being live on the scene, and your on-air career likely depends on you nailing it.

7 Ways To Create Beneficial Alliances At Work

7 Ways To Create Beneficial Alliances At Work7 Ways To Create Beneficial Alliances At Work The workplace a fertile spot for relationship development because- lets face it- we spend more time in the geschftszimmer than we do at home. But its also the perfect place to cruise for professional allies because right beside our cubicles are dozens of other people who share our interests, schedules, and the all-important access to the boss, points out Irene S. Levine, Ph.D., psychologist and friendship expert. Bonus If you are able to snag a work friend or two, a confidante in the bro will elend only make the day go by faster but it will help you enjoy your work a lot more, says millennial career expert Jill Jacinto. Who doesnt want that? So heres how toscore friends and professional allies at work.1. Take advantage of group outings. Whether your company hosts a weekly happy hour , optional town-hall-style meetings, or posts open positions for its softball team, Jacinto s ays you should say yes more often than no to these invitations in order to make new work friends. Thats because these scenarios pull you out of your work bubble and can connect you with people in many different departments, she says. This is a perfect opportunity to learn more about your company but also find friends across the company.2. Resist gossiping. Gabbing about the weird poster Anne has pinned to her cubicle while youre at the communal coffee spot may seem like a good ice breaker, but Levine says that participating in- or worse, initiating- office gossip can stunt the growth of work relationships.Be cautious not to spread rumors or gossip, she warns, because they can spread like wildfire through a workplace. They can poison the environment and reflect badly on you.3. Eat in the communal kitchen . Youre surrounded- probably, quite literally- at work. So, who could blame you if your instinct is to grab a solo lunch , or sip your coffee while you hide in the stairwell? B ut slow down, encourages Jacinto. Stop by the communal kitchen on your way out and chit chat with your coworkers- ask them about their days, weekend plans, their favorite Keurig flavor or lunch spot, she says. Just get to know them.4. Offer to help. If your coworker sends you a Slack message and wants your advice, take advantage of them reaching out to build a relationship, advises Jacinto. How so? Instead of replying in kind- whether on Slack or via email- offer to set up a face-to-face meeting so that you can take on the issue together, Jacinto says. Then, remember to insert some chit chat, like, Did you watch the new season of Girlboss on Netflix? or Have you heard about that Frye Festival fiasco? or Any vacation plans coming up? she suggests.5. Ask a coworker on a date. No, we dont mean in a romantic sense But ask a colleague to get out of the office for a coffee break, or see if she might be willing to grab a drink or a bite to eat after work, suggests Jacinto. Placing yourselves in spaces outside the office can help your friendship grow, she explains. People tend to be more relaxed outside of the office and let their guard down. Just dont spend the whole time talking about work.Of course, if an outside get-together does turn from friendship to romance - it can happen accidentally- then tread very slowly, warns Levine. After all, if things dont work out, you cant get divorced, she says. Youll have to be with that person every day.6. Find common ground beyond your cubicles. As Jacinto mentioned above, a big key to making work friends is to actually talk about things other than work. If you can get to know coworkers interests outside the office, you may find some common ground on which to build a friendship, she says. I had a coworker who I always traded music with and this led us becoming friends and going to concerts together, Jacinto shares. 7. Remember Not all friendships last forever. If you make new friends at work, realize that not eac h one of them will always be in your corner. Some workplace friendships do turn sour, warns Levine. If that happens, you need to remain civil and professional. You dont want to let the breakup interfere with your work or make co-workers feel uncomfortable.

Save the planet from your office

Save the planet from your office Save the planet from your officePosted October 13, 2011, by Elizabeth Fenech Get some career advice that the planet will thank you for, long after you get the job Is there one thing you wont compromise on when searching for a new job? 100K salary? Relaxed dress code? Espresso machine? Employees worldwide are increasingly taking notice of a companys green rating, that is, how environmentally friendly it is. In an age when household recycling bins are bigger than garbage bins and the human impact on global warming is hitting home, people are beginning to see the irony in recycling their newspapers at home only to guzzle their way through reams of paper at the office. Energy Australias Paul Myors is a senior consultant specialising in energy efficiency. Hes noticed that, over the past decade, Australians have begun to pay attention to expert warnings about global warming. People do actually think that we have already seen climate change in Australia , and I think that has contributed to greater awareness and made the issue more real to people, says Myors. With Australian households stepping up to the environmental plate, its time for businesses to take notice. John Egan, Queensland manager for Peoplebank Recruitment, explains the difficulties in searching for an eco-friendly prospective employer. It would be quite difficult to find many companies who either publish or, for that matter, who have documented environmental policies, he says. Paul Myors agrees that its time workplaces cleaned up their act. There are a lot of opportunities for businesses to be more energy efficient. Its not simple, but we cant use that as an excuse to not address the issue we should try to do better, he says. Not everyone has to install solar panels outside the tearoom though there are plenty of ways businesses can reduce their environmental footprint. Part of the problem is that people dont have a great awareness of the relative energ y use of different appliances. Turning out the lights is one of the simple things we can do. Earth Hour has given homes and businesses across the globe a push in the right direction. Elizabeth Potter, a spokesperson for Earth Hour, says the popularity of the initiative is indicative of a shift in the corporate sector. People are abfluging to recognise that businesses are taking steps that are genuine, long-term solutions to climate change rather than symbolic displays. Were seeing an increase in companies with buildings that are rated four and five star in terms of the environment and installing energy-saving lights, she says. Finding an employer by their green conscience alone isnt impossible, but another idea is to score your dream job with an employer who has that great espresso machine and then work to change company policy from the inside.
