Sporarbeid: En hunds nese i aksjon - Hvordan hunden din kan bli en statssertifisert sporhund. Sporing - eller mantrailing i en litt annen form - er en nyttig aktivitet for hunden din. Egentlig trenger du ikke å lære ham mye her, for din firbente venn kan helt sikkert snuse ... og det gjør han hver dag på hver tur. Så hvorfor bry seg med sporingsopplæring? Dette spørsmålet brenner under tungen din. Vel... sporingsarbeidet er litt mer dyptgripende. Du selv eller en annen person legger et spor som hunden din kan følge. Men selvfølgelig ikke på hvilken som helst måte, for det finnes regler for dette. Du kan til og med ta visse eksamener for å kunne føre hunden din som en anerkjent spor- eller redningshund. Lignende regler gjelder for mantrailing, men her følger ikke din firbente venn et kunstig lagt spor, men hunden er trent til å følge lukten av en veldig spesifikk person og dermed finne en savnet person, for eksempel.

As Cate awoke on New Years Day 2016, the Holy Spirit showed her a vision of the front cover of a Holy Spirit prayer book. She heard guidance that she would be writing these prayer books over "time" and each one would have a theme based on A Course in Miracles and to attach to a flower for easy recognition. These prayers demonstrate how to "pray" which is really an "asking" or "inviting Him" into our mind, to bring his wisdom and comfort. Cate started writing the prayers down but was not guided to publish them, until in 2020 Shannon contacted Cate, sharing that she felt Jesus guiding her to offer to help Cate in any way she asked. They both felt that were to work on finishing the prayer books and Shannon's part was to allow Him to show her what flower photos, design and quotes to bring forth. A wonderful collaboration ensued, which bought about the resulting beauty of the books. Designed and guided by the Holy Spirit to help you dear reader, to lift into the happiness and peace, that is Home. The Holy Spirits purpose for these prayers is to "Let these prayers nourish the desert of the unawakened mind with the living waters of God's Love". In this prayer book are prayers helping the reader to invite the Holy Spirit into their mind, interspersed with quotes of gratitude from A Course in Miracles that work together to shift the minds perception, which is the Miracle!. Simply read each prayer quietly and slowly, allowing the words to bring the experience in. Feel willing to hear the Holy Spirit. Give time over to silence. Don't rush and read them all at once. Take your time to let the living waters of truth wash away all the dusty thoughts. Cate Grieves is a spiritual teacher of A Course in Miracles. "To teach is to demonstrate", so Cate is a teacher by her demonstration of love, peace, wisdom and joy that extends effortlessly through her to all. She is deeply connected to her inner guide, the Holy Spirit and lives by this guidance. Cate speaks at international conferences, writes for Miracle Worker magazine, writes on facebook, facilitates workshops, retreats, courses and Satsangs. Cate lives in Melbourne, Australia.

How do today’s leaders move from playing it safe to playing for great?In a volatile time of climate crisis, global pandemics, and disruptive technologies, leaders may find themselves clinging to fear-based mindsets that favor individualism over collectivism – inadvertently controlling their teams rather than inspiring genuine commitment in them. To navigate uncertainty and seize emerging opportunities, leaders must move toward a more facilitative, enabling approach that centers on purpose before profit and the team before the individual.In Safe to Great, consultant, keynote speaker, and author Skip Bowman outlines an integrated organizational and leadership development process for implementing a growth mindset based on psychological safety. Grounded in more than 25 years of experience working with global organizations, Bowman’s model unites theory and practice in a set of practicable principles designed to meet the opportunities and challenges of leading and organizing in the twenty-first century and beyond.Bowman looks to the concept of psychological safety, as described in Amy C. Edmondson’s work on fearless organizations, to examine how a workplace that tolerates risk and exhibits a willingness to experiment can facilitate high levels of innovation. The tenets of a growth mindset, as popularized by Carol Dweck, also serve as a guiding philosophy: Bowman urges organizations to take a generative approach to managing people and resources, putting at least much back as they extract. In this relational model, success rests on the combined achievements and developmental growth of the collective rather than on the accumulation of power and wealth by a single executive or small group of stakeholders.Conversational in tone and packed with big hopes and uncomfortable truths, Safe to Great makes an impassioned appeal for a new standard of leadership that will move people and organizations from a place of relative comfort and little risk to a space of daring curiosity, engagement, and collaboration.

This hardback edition makes a wonderful gift.
