Am rounding off my PhD work with a few more competencies in research and statistics. this one was to practice newly acquired knowledge for a statistical procedure Confirmatory Factor Analysis. What I learned most in doing the work was the importance of developing diagnostic tools for use in mental health clinics that do not have much resources. By asking the right questions you get to help a client understand his health issues and work out a plan that leads to well-being
Never remain the same
Imagine if you insisted to do business the same way as you did before the pandemic came around…by now your business would have died or is in the verge of collapse. Never stay the same. Be flexible, ready to embrace new ways of doing things, ready to learn. Isn’t the dinosaur, the most powerful terrifying beast extinct now…are companies such as Nokia dn Kodak no longer in the market?
Success through Tenacity
Many people give excuses for lack of success: they aren’t smart enough; they didn’t have the connections; they were up against popular, good looking people; they didn’t get any breaks. These are all rationalizations using the victim mindset. It isn’t only talent, ability to learn fast, or IQ that predicts success. Its doing the work day in and day out, and challenging oneself to improve daily that makes for success. Focus on an important goal, create steps to reach the goal, be willing to do the work, focus on your improvement through the process.
Bag of Many Tricks
This now completes my teaching semester for Industrial Psychology. I love that i get to teach courses that allows my students to do projects for companies therefore enabling them to put theory to action. Training psychologists, researching, a private practice for psychotherapy. My job never the same 2 days in a row
Recovery from Trauma
Many people believe that it takes only grit, resilience to make it through trauma. Actually, proper coping behaviors, good friends, and having meaning for living are stronger resources to make it through.
Often, my posts are on work and how to improve performance. However, the topics I love most are those that explain the within power of human beings to escape dark times and succeed. Grit and resilience is there …but it is a very small part of recovery. Belief in self-capacity, finding strengths within —thats what makes a victim more than a survivor. It makes them winners.Hat is still in the game for that PhD
Training Internationally on CBT to handle Psychosis Cases
Being effective requires investing in international as well as local course. Each new course provides useful techniques to make me more adept in helping clients. In this course, I learned the importance of understanding the the delusions of those with psychosis: why the delusions are on a particular topic; how important the delusion is for the client’s well-being; why the client is hesitant to let go of it even when it is obviously hurting him. Thank you PGH for this training

Many people think ‘oooh work, how mundanely boring’. whist your friends might feel they are stuck in a rut, you don’t have to feel that way. In fact, you can enjoy work by finding what is meaningful, doing tasks that you enjoy, and pacing your work throughout the day. Ask me for more tips on how to do this
Keeping your head above water
So many changes in the political front which are exhausting and exhilarating to watch as the elections loom. Each candidate is selling hope but do they have the political will to make it all happen. When we surround ourselves with supportive people, do meaningful things, stick to our principles we keep hope alive. Its hope that will help us cross rivers, climb mountains
