Psychological School Shootings | A solution giving more Power to Students

Are these School Shootings just part of growing up?

Today on SynergyCafe I interviewed, Clete Bulach. He is an author and retired teacher with a mission and vision to empower students and teachers and parents to make better decisions

Dr. Bulach was the external evaluator for the character education grants (1999-2003) for the State of Georgia’s and West Virginia’s Departments of Education (2002-2006). Character data has been collected on over 200 schools at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. On-site visits were made to every school district in the State of WV.

He has written two books based on data collected during interviews with students and teachers during those on-site visits, with co-authors Dr. Fred Lunenburg and Dr. Les Potter, and published by Rowman and Littlefield (2008 & 2016).

To learn more go to his website BELOW and “Click on the Books you wish to purchase!”

He has also written a book on the history of his hometown in Indiana, to purchase a copy, “Click on the Book”.

Marketing Automation is Killing Community

 

How come Social Media actually isn’t very social?

In this day and age of the internet, it “appears” that 100s and 1,000s of people are in “communication” with each other. But are they actually, communicating?

I mean… are “they” (the people) actually communicating with each other? Or, are they flashing past 1,000s of posts, using the “one-click” features that have been so graciously added to our social media platforms. (I used the term “social” reluctantly.

If you’ve been on Facebook Messenger or LinkedIn Messaging recently, you’ve perhaps noticed those convenient little buttons that provide you with your convenient reply with a single click.

You can reply with a… “My Pleasure” or “You’re Welcome” with a single click, and then get on with you busy day.

The actual “human” engagement online has been whittled down to two or three words, or sometimes just one word. (unless or course they are political or controversial) JEESH!

If Social Media isn’t actually “social”, then why use Social Media?

It is my belief that Social Media is “societies media” and with it, we have the ability to exchange information globally. That’s it. I use the internet to sell Business Education products and promote events online. My biggest challenge is extracting the “human factor” from the plethora of online profiles that have polluted our internet superhighway.

My personal agenda these days online is to get more VIDEO interaction.

This is why I built out www.MySynergyCafe.com as a platform for Business Owners and Entrepreneurs to meet online for a “virtual coffee” to discuss and share ideas and projects.

I’ve also set up MagicBrad.TV as a platform to do VIDEO Interviews in a TalkShow type format to learn about the various project launches, book releases and events etc. (Would you like an interview on your business, then go to www.MagicBrad.TV and click on the “Book My Interview” banner)

As usual, I invite you to contact me if you have any questions or would like clarity on any of the information that I post online.

Event-fully Yours,

BRAD “MagicBrad” GUDIM

Living Happy Inside and Out with Maura Sweeney

I need to ask this “happy” question.

Are YOU happy?

ABOUT MAURA

I was living according to someone else’s instruction manual. 

Having one’s future all planned out is often a great idea. It gives us purpose, direction and goals to attain. But in my case, it wasn’t so great. Oddly, the same foreign instruction manual that failed to bring me joy ended up providing me with the very catalyst to a happy life!

In the words of a close friend, I was “groomed” from an early age.

The master plan (which certainly sounds good on its surface) would entail my following in my late grandfather’s footsteps to become a New Jersey lawyer. For a girl born in the late ’50s, it was somewhat ambitious and even professionally affirming.

There were just two problems: 1) I didn’t want to practice law and 2) I didn’t want to live in New Jersey.

Though I could have easily articulated the second (negative) goal, the first negative goal was a bit more complex. Why didn’t I want to practice law? Simply put, I had neither passion nor vision for the profession. When laid against my inward leanings, it translated to me as a solitary, rigid and uninspired career.

Despite trying to please those around me and stay true to the instruction manual that would get me to this supposed life goal as a New Jersey lawyer, I became increasingly dis-spirited. The more I moved through the law school process the more “dead” I felt.

We each have our own sense of personal identity and, by age 23, mine felt nearly extinguished. Though my outer shell tried to keep up with expectations, my inward soul was growing progressively isolated and dry. What was it, I wondered? This is supposed to be good for me and my future!
