For many South Africans, George is a holiday dream destination for Decembers. The beaches, mountains and surrounding areas are reason enough for that!
But for other South Africans, George accounts for more than just the mountain, beaches and surrounding – it accounts for a place to be called home.Moving from Cape Town to George on the 30th of December 2018, George was a place unknown and waiting to be discovered. As a Capetonian, having lived all of my 26 years in the Cape Town area, it was quite something to adapt to. I remember trying to memorize most of the street names in George, just to orientate myself. The first few months I drove around with Google Maps as my GPS, just to make sure I don’t get lost! Even though George is quite small, by not knowing it so well you can still get lost between all the little streets and corners. And not to mention all the one-ways in York street! How confusing!
Another thing that stood out is definitely all the Coffee shops. I made it my focus to try different ones every month! Nina’s, Ground Control, The Table, just to mention a few which delivered some great social dates!
Building a community took some time though. My husband and I became intentional in inviting people over for a braai. This quickly became our Monday evening tradition, and wherever we met people, we would invite them over for a braai for the following Monday evening. Even though we had quite a few evenings of braaiing on our own, we soon had weekly braai gatherings and people visiting. What a great way to connect with people and build relationships!Within a year we were quite settled into George as our new home. We loved exploring the area, having less traffic and the idea that shops are around the corner. Nothing is far away from one another in George. Including people.Moving to a new place can definitely be daunting but I definitely learned a few things from it:
It is possible to adapt. Even though I grew up in the same area and lived there for 26 years, I worked through the challenges of change and was able to build a new home, together with my husband, & community group for myself.
You need to invest. We had quite a great community network in Cape Town – solid friends, family, church and meeting people along the way. Leaving all of that behind was challenging and then also needing to want to meet new people in George, was tough. We, therefore, needed to put ourselves out there and connect. I joined a local hockey club, we slotted into our local church and met people from our workplaces as well. Getting involved in the community is the best way of meeting new people.
Getting to know it all. There is so much to discover in George! Coming into a new place carries the benefit of wanting to explore though. Being in one place for long, it quickly becomes difficult to think of new & exciting things to do. But within George, no one can have that problem! We had weekends of exploring that which we enjoyed, even going to camp in places like Island Lake – 35 minutes away!
Adapting differently. It was interesting to see how differently my husband and I would adapt to our new surroundings! He wanted to “arrive” as quickly as possible, while as I wanted to adapt at an easy pace, not wanting to miss anything. For sure this led to quite some conversations and clearing out misunderstandings. But it made me realise how differences in each person are actually such a good thing. We can learn how to do things better and grow along the way. We definitely need to see the opportunity within challenges.
I am sure there is perhaps quite a few other learning curves I went through. And perhaps you are thinking about your own challenges with moving if you ever had to.But let us continue to strive to make the best out of each situation and be obedient in the things God is calling us into.Follow us on Facebook: A Couple of things.
YouTube is a great tool in education. That’s why I made a channel. Several times I’ve used a YouTube video in a classroom setting and as soon as the YouTuber says, ‘Like and subscribe and don’t forget to ring that bell’, my class would erupt.“LIKE IT MR OLSEN!!! SUUUBSCRIIIIIBE!!!”
We are more likely to be persuaded when we don’t realise we are being… persuaded.
While research shows that the greatest influence on purchasing is from parents, it’s still up to us to ensure that our children aren’t viewing things that are going to mess them up- brain wise.Enter Brave browser.Brave browser is built from the same thing that Chrome is. But it’s better. It automatically blocks trackers, third party cookies and adverts (and yes, all those things sound as scary as they are). You can even support websites using their cryptocurrency.If you’ve taken one of the homeCode Udemy Courses, like the Space Explorers Coding Course for Kids (give me a shout if you want a discount code, by the way), then you would have seen that I like to use real world articles.
All that advertising used to make me say, “Ah poop, I can’t pooping use this.”
I use Brave whenever I require children, who I am teaching, to obtain information from a pre-approved page. I highly recommend that you do too.It’s free to download, so try it and let me know if it helps!(Cover image by Brianna Reak on Unsplash)
A while back I came upon this very simple yet elegant process for helping to clarify the thinking in terms of a strategic plan for businesses, large or small. It could work for one’s personal life as well. After all, a family is just like a business!
Many companies have a strategic plan, often a document about 75mm thick and it is stuck away in a filing cabinet and the only one who knows its contents is the MD and the business consultant who wrote it for them.
Ideally, a Strategic Plan needs to be no longer than 1 page and everyone on the staff needs to know what’s it in. And the staff need to live by this plan, they are the one’s who will implement it.
Here are the elements that need to be addressed:
VISION – This is a clear picture of your destination. Where you are going and what you want to become.
2. MISSION – The driving purpose of your business, who you are and what you do.
3. VALUES – The guide you use for decision making and how you treat each other and your clients.
4. OBJECTIVES – The numbers you track. What do you measure?
5. STRATEGIES – The paths you have decided to take. Or the “how” of accomplishing your objectives.
6. PRIORITIES – The work that needs to get done and who needs to do it.
There needs to be an overall Strategic Plan for the business and each Department needs to have its own Strategic Plan.
Everyone in the business needs to know what the Plan is and all of them need to live it every day. This becomes the driving force of the business with everyone on board. No grey areas!
If you would like some help drawing up your Strategic Plan, I am available to spend a few hours with your team one morning to walk you through the process.
Remember the old saying: “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail”!
I have read many books and attended several conferences where the author or speaker always say something very unique. It is striking and I don’t even think they realise it sometimes.“You need to live in a certain way…” From Wallace to Robbins this is a quote frequently referred to in some way. You hear teachers say this and holy scripture mentions it several times. So what does “living in a certain way” refer to? Initially I thought it meant to live like the thing you want to become. Trust me, don’t try living a millionaires lifestyle if you earn a middle class salary. That is not the way this works. Rather follow the path you have chosen from start to finish. Do so with a wholehearted belief that you are on your way to achieving the life you envision for yourself.Note, I said “start at the beginning.” Living in a certain way means that there is no jumping to the fun part without doing the groundwork first. There are quite a few different ways to start. Certain ways might even speed up progress, keeping in mind that it is directly related to the method being used. So, you still need to start at the beginning. “Living in a certain way”, in order to become successful sounds a bit mystical and no one can really tell you exactly what you should be doing. This can sometimes lead to great frustration and even resentment of self and the goal. A good advisor will generally tell you more or less where to start and how to keep going. You need to realise that “living in a certain way” will need to happen in your unique manner. There is in fact a set method to success in whatever endeavour you wish to embark on. (Want proof? Just look at the people who have achieved it before you.) Again it’s not as easy as the books make it sound. Nothing can prepare you for the obstacles you will face along the way. The mental and emotional battles that you will face have crippled many brave starters. Here, “living in a certain way” becomes crucial. I will share my method with you. (This is unique to me) It has worked for me and will serve as a guide to enable you to establish your own method and understanding of “living in a certain way.” My purpose is to work with people around the way they understand their environment and adjust to new input. I do so in order to help them best express their understanding and find the way that best works for them. But where does this leave you and “living in a certain way?” I have a rule that I try to keep myself by, while making sure others understand this as my way. “I give the best I can, to the best of my current capability in all actions I take.” “In return I expect the people in my immediate environment to deliver the same but at their current capability.” In addition I have recently added the following. “If it does not give me my desired results I simply stop the action and refocus on the ones that give results.” That’s it and remember that everyone will have a unique method. Spend some time thinking about my words, maybe read this article again, and then again a week later. Look at how you can “live in a certain way” to help you get closer to your goals.Every goal you would like to reach requires a certain way of conducting your life. Find your right way and it’s as good as done. As always, myself and many others are here to help you on your way. Feel free to ask at any time.Good luck and remember to have fun.
You may have seen people typing furiously with furrowed brows staring at their laptop screen and thought, “What a waste of life.” And sometimes, you’re right. Using a computer is the same as using a hammer. Well, not really, but in one way it certainly is:
Both computers and hammers can be of amazing help… or for utter destruction (which can be fun too)
So, then, what is coding and why should we use it in education? Well, coding is simply telling a computer to do something. The most exciting part is that, often, it does what we want it to. Coding can help us to leverage the power of computers to not only access information, but to create and wield it to do amazing things.
Code has connected people from all over the world.
(https://unsplash.com/@meghanschiereck)
Code has helped millions of people make their thinking visible.
And that’s what we’re after. We don’t want our children to be computers who can just output information. We want our children to be smart. We want them to be able to solve problems that haven’t even been created, yet.
Solving problems that aren’t even around yet is the kind of skill that coding fosters.
Do you need coding to do get these 21st Century Skills?No! Of course not, but it does make it a lot easier. In the same way that you can build a house without a hammer, it’s possible.It’s just not the smartest option.So, then, the conclusion is:
Be smart and use coding to make thinking visible
Whether you’re a home school parent or a class teacher, there are online courses and robotics starter kits (with a full online course) to get you up and running in this essential movement in education.Otherwise, be sure to check out the homeCode website, the homeCode educational technology shop for more, or just email me directly at chris@homecode.co.za if you want some advice or just to say hi.Until next time, keep exploring!Christopher(Qualified teacher with 10 years+ experience and founder of homeCode)
Our Careers are probably one of the biggest decisions we will need to make in our lifetime. This year 2020 has been quite a unique and extraordinary one. And for all of us! Students needed to start doing school from home or didn’t have school at all. Parents needed to figure out how to work and have the kids at home. And students’ exams and test times have also been quite of a challenge! As a Tutor, giving extra classes, I barely kept track of all the schedules for schools and class times myself. I can only imagine how challenging it must have been for teachers, parents and other educational practitioners. But regardless of all of these challenges, students still need to make choices regarding next year:
What subjects will they choose?
Where will they go and study?
What is the direction of their lives on a long-term basis?
Speaking from the perspective of a Career Coach, there is a lot of tough decisions to be made. While working with students these past few months, it has been obvious there is a lot of confusion. Students find it difficult to make a decision as to what to do with their lives. I’ve been specifically working with a Grade 11 student these last few weeks and just the idea of making a Career decision of what to go and study is enough to make her anxious. One doesn’t realise the weight of the decision that these young people need to make! The scope of Career options is so BIG! And unknown.For example, what comes to mind when you think about Career opportunities in Management?
Maybe jot down a few ideas and options you can think of.
Perhaps you have someone within your family that is in Management.
Or maybe a friend or someone you are familiar with.
Or maybe you find yourself within a Management position.
But I can probably bet on it that you haven’t thought of it all. Perhaps your list is longer if you Googled the answer!So then – is Hospitality management on your list? Manager of a Store? Restaurant? Project Manager? Field Manager?
And the list goes on.So imagine how this must be for a young adult, not knowing the world of work and now needing to decide what Career pursuits he or she wants to make.
What I am quite serious about when advising my clients as to how to go about to make a decision about their career, I always advise them to do Job Shadowing. Because by being within the work environment gives you the greatest scope as to what to expect from that industry. An alternative, of course, is to start conversations within people in different job setups. Especially in job setups that you are interested in to pursue. The more you speak, the more you’ll learn and the easier it will be to make a decision!It is not easy but having someone coming alongside you can make it so much better.Should you need additional advice or coaching in order to make a career decision, feel free to make contact with Mastering It:Maryke Jooste @ 072 372 4353 / maryke@masteringit.co.za / www.masteringit.co.za

Mastering It en Mariska Knoetze het dit goed gevind om tydens die lock down, wat reeds Maart die jaar begin het, ‘n Video reeks aan ouers beskikbaar te maak wat verskeie relevante kwessies rondom Lock down aanspreek.
In hierdie onderstaande artikel deel Mariska meer oor:
A. Rekenaar toegang, data toegang, printers en ink, papier om skoolwerk te doen, en
B. Hoe berei ek my kind voor vir die nuwe fase in sy lewe en skoolloopbaan na COVID19?
Ek is Mariska Knoetze. Ek is ‘n voltydse onderwyseres, ‘n beroepskonsultant en ‘n narratiewe berader. Maar ek is ook “n Enkelmamma van 6 jarige tweeling seuns. Ek bly by my ouers en ons maak gelukkig ‘n “mean team” om die dinge aan die gang te hou.Ek dink dit is ‘n voorreg om uit ‘n juffrou en mamma se perspektief te deel wat ons alles saam in hierdie huidige situasie beleef, vrae en kommernisse wat ons het. Daar is baie waarde daarin om te gesels oor die vrae wat ons saam het.Ek wil wel net noem dat ek ‘n meningspyling uitgestuur het om die inhoud van hierdie werkswinkel te kon kry. Ek is nie ‘n Genie in a Bottle nie. Ek het nie antwoorde en oplossings vir alles nie. Maar graag wil ek jou bemoedig en minder hulpeloos te laat voel.
Kommernisse en uitdagings (realiteite en feite).
A. Rekenaar toegang, data toegang, printers en ink, papier om skoolwerk te doenDaar is onsettend baie huishoudings wat nie rekenaars, printers, ink en data het om skoolwerk wat deur die skool gegee word, af te laai of te doen nie.Kom in kontak met ander ouers van jou kind se skool. As dit moontlik is, betaal die ouer vir die werk wat hy/sy vir jou kind print om te doen. Laat die klasmaats met mekaar kommunikeer op verskillende maniere (bv. Whatsapp ens). Gaan gerus ook na goeie ou Google en search dan. Kids can keep learning even during a lockdown. Here’s howwww.bizcommunity.comHierdie website gee reeds ‘n klom apps en websites wat verniet is. Mense vra jou gemeenskap, bure, vriende, om jou te help met basiese data om hierdie elektroniese inligting te bekom. Nou is nie ‘n tyd vir trots nie, steek jou trots in jou sak en vra.B. Hoe berei ek my kind voor vir die nuwe fase in sy lewe en skoolloopbaan na COVID19Ek dink hier moet ons blatant eerlik wees met mekaar dat ons totaal en al onseker is oor hoe die res van hierdie akademiese jaar gaan uitspeel. As onderwyseres het ons steeds nie vaste datums van terug keer vir onderrig nie. Om nie eers te praat van die veiligheid en risikos nie.Ek kan jou wel waarborg dat jou kind sy pêlle mis. Onthou ons kinders beleef dieselfde frustrasies as ons in lockdown. Hulle kan ook nie elke dag net smile en opgeruimd wees nie. So neem in gedagte dat jou kind ook ‘n afdag of 4 sal hê. Hy/sy stres ook oor allerhande dinge wat ouderdoms gepas is.Tog moet ek uit ervaring vir jou weereens noem dat ons onderskat hoe aanpasbaar kinders is. Hulle vind baie vinniger ‘n nuwe normaal as ons.Moenie die kar voor die perde opsaal nie. Wanneer ons nuwe uitdagings beleef gaan ons dit kan noem by ‘n naam. Met die identifisering van die uitdaging sal ons oplossings vind. Ons gaan hierdie Olifant saam eet happie-vir-happie.Ons as onderwysers is gemaak om jou kind te help en te leer. Elke skool sal ‘n goedgekeurde werkbare opvang plan hê om leerders reg te kry. So haal asem en doen wat jy vandag kan doen.________________________________________________________________________Ons video reeks is ook op Youtube beskikbaar.Sou julle 1-tot-1 sessies wou boek met myself, Maryke Jooste, of Mariska Knoetze, vir enige tipe coaching of ander dienste wat Mastering It bied, is julle welkom om kontak te maak – maryke@masteringit.co.za.

Here is something from Jack Canfield of “Chicken Soup for the Soul” and “The Success Principles” fame, on Daily Disciplines for Effortless Success.“Jack, what daily practices have played the biggest role in helping you achieve your level of success?”This is one of the most frequently asked questions I get from almost everyone I meet – from my students, to top CEOs, to the great Oprah Winfrey, who asked me this very question before I appeared on her show.I find that the most powerful actions I take every day are those that help me shift my attitude, cultivate a success mindset, and keep my most ambitious goals and dreams top of mind so I stay on target and achieve them faster.Here are the six daily practices I use to stay inspired, keep my energy and confidence high, and accomplish more with greater joy and ease. Add them to your daily routine and I guarantee you will experience similarly great results.
1. Visualize your goals and intentions
As soon as you wake up in the morning, take five or so minutes to focus your mind on your desires, goals, and intentions. Sit in a comfortable position, close your eyes and visualize what your life will look like once you accomplished your biggest goals and dreams.
How will you spend your days?
Who will you spend them with, and where?
Spend 30 seconds to a minute on each of your core goals and desires. Focus on imagining how you will FEEL when you have manifested your ideal life. The intensity of this feeling will fuel the intensity of the results you will get.Once you have that energized feeling of achievement running through you, visualize your day ahead going exactly as planned and moving you closer to your goals. This will motivate you to stay on target and accomplish so much more during your day.
2. Use external images to keep you focused
Another powerful way to keep your biggest, most ambitious goals top of mind is by surrounding yourself with visual images of the experiences you want to create in your life. There are many tools you can use for this, but my favourite is creating a vision board.Cut out pictures of the things you wish to own (such as your ideal car or home) and pictures that represent the experiences you want to have (the perfect relationship, your ideal job, optimal health, being at your ideal weight, more joy, inner peace or balance in your life) to remind yourself of the life you’re striving to create. Put these images somewhere where you will see them every day—on the mirror, the refrigerator, or in a vision book.For even greater impact, combine your pictures with words that reflect your desired outcome, such as abundance, romance, fun, or vitality.
3. Release negative thoughts
As you go through your day, you might notice yourself thinking negative thoughts such as: “I could never afford that,” “there’s no way I’ll ever get that,” or “who am I kidding?” These limiting beliefs are the result of negative programming from your childhood and no longer serve you. If such thoughts arise in your mind, as you become aware of them, simply let them go. Don’t fight or argue with the thought; just release it.“From me: The Sedona Release Method is a great tool for letting go of unwanted thoughts and feelings right now, on the spot, gone! Let me know if you would like a 1-pager on this process.”
4. Think a better-feeling thought
When you notice yourself reacting to a person or situation with disappointment, resentment, frustration, or anger, consciously shift your focus to thoughts that make you feel a more positive emotion. Your thoughts create your feelings and your feelings create your circumstances – so the best way to change your experience is by focusing on thoughts that raise your vibration and allow you to become a vibrational match for the experiences you want to attract into your life.For example, if you want to be happier, focus your thoughts on things that bring you joy – such as your lover, your best friend, your grandchildren, or your favourite vacation spot – and your actions on the things you love to do, such as petting your cat, working in your garden, or listening to your favourite music. Where attention goes, energy flows.
5. Cultivate an “attitude of gratitude”
This is a big one – it’s absolutely critical to take some time every day to focus on what you are grateful for! The more you feel gratitude, the more you will have in your life to feel grateful for. It’s that simple.All you have to do is spend a few minutes every day focusing on all of the things in your life that you are grateful for—your health, your children, your job, the nice weather, electricity, running water, a nice stereo system, your flower garden, your pets, your friends.Some people do their daily gratitude practice in the morning, either before or after they visualize their desires. Others prefer to do it in the evening. You may wish to carry a “gratitude rock” in your pocket – and each time you feel it, remember to feel gratitude for all the good things you are experiencing at that moment. Or you could take a few minutes to record all the positive things in your life in a gratitude journal. No matter what your situation, there are always things to be grateful for – and the more mindful you become of them, the richer your life will be.
6. Acknowledge what’s working
If you start to see something changed for the better, acknowledge that it’s happening and appreciate it. When you find the perfect parking space, acknowledge it. When you get the table you want in the restaurant, acknowledge it. When you receive unexpected income, acknowledge it. When you meet someone who can help you reach your goal, acknowledge that the universe has your back and is sending you who and what you need to achieve your dreams. The more you acknowledge that it’s working, the more it will work. It’s that simple.When you make a commitment to taking these simple actions each day, you will move forward with confidence, in the direction of your dreams. Believe that they are not only possible but that they are already in progress – and they will be.
Mastering It en Mariska Knoetze het dit goed gevind om tydens die lock down, wat reeds Maart die jaar begin het, ‘n Video reeks aan ouers beskikbaar te maak wat verskeie relevante kwessies rondom Lock down aanspreek.
In hierdie onderstaande artikel deel Mariska meer oor:
A. Doen ek regte dinge as ouer?, en
B. Wat as ek terug gaan werk toe en niemand kan na my kinders kyk nie?
Ek is Mariska Knoetze. Ek is ‘n voltydse onderwyseres, ‘n beroepskonsultant en ‘n narratiewe berader. Maar ek is ook “n Enkelmamma van 6 jarige tweeling seuns. Ek bly by my ouers en ons maak gelukkig ‘n “mean team” om die dinge aan die gang te hou.Ek dink dit is ‘n voorreg om uit ‘n juffrou en mamma se perspektief te deel wat ons alles saam in hierdie huidige situasie beleef, vrae en kommernisse wat ons het. Daar is baie waarde daarin om te gesels oor die vrae wat ons saam het.Ek wil wel net noem dat ek ‘n meningspyling uitgestuur het om die inhoud van hierdie werkswinkel te kon kry. Ek is nie ‘n Genie in a Bottle nie. Ek het nie antwoorde en oplossings vir alles nie. Maar graag wil ek jou bemoedig en minder hulpeloos te laat voel.
Kommernisse en uitdagings (realiteite en feite).
A. Doen ek die regte ding as ouer. Ek is nie ‘n onderwyser nie. Wat as ek my kind verkeerd leer. Berei ek my kind reg voor vir die volgende graad of fase?As onderwyseres kan ek jou verseker dat jou “input” as ouer baie keer onderskat word.Of jy dit reg of verkeerd doen is nie soseer die vraag nie. Die blote feit dat jy wel bereid is om jou kind te help en die leerwerk van die skool te doen is van onskatbare waarde.Jy hoef nie ‘n onderwyser te wees om jou kind te help met skoolwerk nie. Ek weet ons as onderwysers is onder andere goeie kommunikeerders. So die instruksies wat saam met die werk kom behoort duidelik genoeg te wees om die taak uit te voer.Jy kan nie jou kind verkeerd leer nie. Ons almal het op verskillende manière skoolwerk geleer. Die fondasie wat in elkgeval geskep word is wat nodig is vir verdere vordering.Wanneer jy aan jou kind se selfbeeld, selfvertroue en menswees werk en daarin belê, dan berei jy reeds jou kind voor vir volgende jaar. Wanneer ‘n kind ‘n goeie selfbeeld het en positief voel oor hom/haar self, kan hulle makliker die lewe se uitdagings aanpak. Ons moet ook onthou kinders is BAIE MEER aanpasbaar as ons. Hulle verras jou gewoonlik.B. Wat as ek terug gaan werk toe en niemand kan na my kinders kyk nie?Baie oumas en oupas bly in ander provinsies en/of in ‘n aftree oord of ouetehuis. Daarom kan hulle nie na ons kinders kyk nie. Ons moet terug gaan werk toe want ons moet ons gesin aan die lewe hou. Dit is ongelukkig die harde feite en realiteite van die omstandighede waarin ons, onsself bevind.Ek weet self nie wat ouers doen wat klein babatjies het nie, en hulle nie aan die buitekant wil blootstele nie.“Worrying is a form of thinking about the future, defined as thinking about future events in a way that leaves you feeling anxious or apprehensive.” Ek kan wel voorstel dat die wat dit kan bekostig, om ‘n onderwys student of ‘n kleuterskool juffrou (wat ook nog nie mag werk nie) in te huur om na jou kinders en hulle skoolwerk om te sien. Daar is baie onderwys student wat ook nou werk soek en niks het om te doen nie.Indien jy nie hierdie luuksheid het om iemand te betaal om na jou kinders te kyk nie is my eie mening dat werkgewers ‘n plan moet maak om julle as werknemers te help om jou kind in ‘n veilige omgewing (dalk by die werk) te akkommodeer. Ons is almal in ‘n abnormale tyd wat vra vir abnormale oplossings. Dink uit die boks en maak voorstelle. Iemand wag dalk net vir jou oplossing. So PRAAT. Niks is nou normaal nie en gaan vir ‘n hele ruk nie normaal wees nie. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Dis net my eie opinie dat werkgewers hierdie uitdaging moet verstaan en help waar hulle kan.Ek is ook seker dat die verskeie departemente hierdie saak sal aanspreek. Jy kan ook by jou Unie hierdie kommernis aanmeld. Ons as Onderwysers kon by die SAOU ook ons mening as ouer lig oor die kommernis wat ons het indien skole weer begin maar jou kind se graad nog nie begin nie. Dus is die SAOU bewus hiervan.________________________________________________________________________Ons video reeks is ook op Youtube beskikbaar.Sou julle 1-tot-1 sessies wou boek met myself, Maryke Jooste, of Mariska Knoetze, vir enige tipe coaching of ander dienste wat Mastering It bied, is julle welkom om kontak te maak – maryke@masteringit.co.za.
