Unintentional manipulation is a behavior that often goes unnoticed, even by the person exhibiting it. Many people associate manipulation with malicious intent, but the reality is that it can stem from deep-seated insecurities, learned behaviors, or a lack of self-awareness. When manipulation is unintentional, it can be especially difficult to recognize because the person engaging in it often believes they are acting out of necessity, self-protection, or even love. However, these behaviors can have lasting negative effects on relationships, creating tension, mistrust, and emotional exhaustion for both parties involved. Understanding manipulation requires a willingness to look inward and examine patterns of communication and interaction. Some people use guilt, passive-aggression, or victimhood as a means of influencing others without realizing that these tactics can be harmful. Others may withdraw affection or communication to maintain control in situations where they feel vulnerable. In some cases, even excessive people-pleasing can be a form of manipulation, as it subtly pressures others to respond in a certain way. These behaviors are often unconscious, but they still impact those around us. Recognizing them is the first step toward change. The purpose of this book is not to shame or condemn but to provide insight into these behaviors and offer practical steps for improvement. No one is perfect, and many people engage in manipulative behaviors at some point in their lives. However, when these behaviors become patterns, they can erode trust and create unhealthy dynamics. By identifying the signs of unintentional manipulation, individuals can develop healthier ways of expressing their needs, setting boundaries, and maintaining relationships based on mutual respect and honesty.Ver livro
When tiny voices talk, three amazing things happen: they share surprising ideas and insights; they realise they are not so tiny; and they empower other tiny voices to talk too.Drawing on the winning formula of her Tiny Voice Talks podcasts, Toria Bono has compiled a great resource full of top tips and actionable advice from a range of tiny voices across the educational spectrum. The assembled voices speak on a broad range of topics relating to education and learner development - from mentoring, metacognitive skills and period education, to trauma-informed practice, nurturing curious learners and finding flow in the classroom.But above all, this book is a call to action for all those in our schools who have yet to find their voice to find it - and use it. There are big people with big voices (and big egos) in education, yet they are the minority. The majority consists of great people just getting on with doing great things - more often than not with people, not data, at the heart of their practice. This book inspires such people to find and use their voice; and when tiny voices talk to tiny voices, everyone wins. Suitable for teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders in all phases.Ver livro
With Malcolm Gladwell–like clarity, Churn captures the most commonplace tensions of life in a multifaceted democracy and how to minimize their corrosive effects in everyday life. A pioneer of social psychology, Claude M. Steele is renowned for Whistling Vivaldi, a runaway bestseller that analyzed societal stereotypes—from beliefs about racial and gender test score gaps to the athletic prowess of Black men—and how to mitigate these “stereotype threats.” In Churn, he coins a new term to identify “the agitation we can feel in diverse settings,” such as everyday exchanges between teachers and students; police and the public; managers and employees; parents and children; and strangers, or even friends, of different sexes and races. Steele braids together psychological research with his own biracial life story, demonstrating how initial wariness between people of different identities is as much a product of our history as of our biases. Through brilliant analysis Churn reveals how trust building can be a fresh and surprisingly powerful strategy for mitigating these tensions in the real–life settings of our lives and for realizing the full potential of our multiracial, multiethnic, multiclassed democracy.Ver livro
