Close your eyes and imagine a boater. Who do you picture. Chances are you're probably thinking of a middle-aged white man.You can go ahead and open your eyes if you haven't done so already. People are typically quite shocked when they hear that I, an 18-year-old girl, am a boater. They are even more surprised when they learn that I've had a boater's license since I was 14 years old.In my hometown of Suski, Ohio, I work in a marine fuel station. I enjoy chatting with the customers as they pump anywhere betwe ...

Today we are here to talk about a normal, healthy, everyday facet of life. We're here to talk about conflict. How many people here typically have their stomachs drop when at the mention of the word conflict? I know I do. This is a valid reaction to conflict as it often stirs up uncomfortability in us. It is hard to be uncomfortable. It is hard to sit in emotions and situations that cause us discomfort. However, if a conflict is a normal part of everyday life, why does it make us so uncomfortable? And why do ...

Well, hello everyone. I'm Kissa Samson, a current undergraduate student here at BGSU. At the start of my freshman year of college here at BG, I was fully prepared to have the most normal college experience.I was going to be the most average student, you know, get a degree, eat some dining hall food, and okay, maybe just have a little bit of fun in between. Just a little bit. I was perfectly content with staying in my shell and what I felt was comfortable for me.I was planning on just simply dragging my feet ...

Most men can't remember the first time that they were told to be a man. It usually isn't some big, overly dramatic moment, more something small, being scared, crying, needing help. It's a phrase we've all likely heard, thought, or said, and it's usually used in the name of promoting resilience or motivating someone to push through adversity.Those are good intentions and isn't necessarily wrong to desire strength or maturity. So what's my issue. Why go through the whole application process and talk on the st ...

看護師さん向けに、え、こういった ショート動画で、えっと、教育するような 、えっと、歴の動画を流しております。 知識をこういきなりこう伝え るっていうのをすると、やっぱりちょっと 難しいなとか、ちょっと見るの嫌だなって いうところで、あんまりこう見ていただけ ない瞬間って結構あるんですね。なので 私たちは特にやっているのが看護師さん、 特に若手の看護師さんって結構上の先輩 から注意されたりするんですね。そうする とちょっと怖いなっていうような後輩の 様子をこう演じながら、あ、私もね、 ちょっとこんなちょっと聞かれるんじゃ ないか。聞かれたらやだなっていうところ でまず共感を得ながら、え、皆さんに レクチャーをしております。怒られる要素 こう演じしているなんて言ったんですけど ね。ま、ほとんど私の若い頃そのまんま やってるような感じです。で、あの、当時 の先輩にこういうの見られたら嫌だなと 思ったんですけれども、この間、えっと、 たまたま会いまして、星野君、私そんなに 厳しかったかな. っていう風に言われた時 はちょっとお腹が痛くなりました。え、私 元々IUの看護師をしてみました。たいっ ていうことだったり、専 ...

Hi everyone. I'm Jake Stucker from Bowling Green, Ohio and a proud alumnus of BGSU. I'm a technology risk consultant, entrepreneur, and product designer.I'm here today to talk to you about the importance of embracing your personal creativity.

How much of it was meaningful.We've never spent more time entertained, but we are not necessarily ...

We live in a time of increasing urbanization. Environmental science writer Emil Lo says over half of the global population lives in cities. By the year 2050, that number will rise to 70% of the estimated 10 billion people on Earth.Many of us from youth to senior citizens are beset by anxiety, depression, loneliness. As we interact more and more with our cell phones, and AI replaces reading books, our attention spans are shrinking. We're often scattered both emotionally and cognitively.Researcher Jonathan Ha ...

I stand in front of you today as a high achieving student, as a leader, as an entrepreneur, and as a public speaker even. These labels seem to have justified my spot in being in front of you to speak today. Now, why am I saying all of this.It's not just to pat myself on the back, but I wanted to help draw our attention uh to our topic today. Labels. But before we go any further, I want you to think about something for a moment.Think about a label that has been placed on you at some point in your life. Maybe ...

At what point does staying stop being about strength and start being self-abandonment? And I'm not asking about impulsively giving up. I'm curious about the moments we choose to stay no matter the cost. Most of us were taught the same lessons in our lives. Push through. Stick it out. Don't quit. We praise endurance. We celebrate grit. We reward people who stay the longest, who give more. But no one ever taught us the power in walking away. So we stay in jobs that drain us, in relationships that shrink us, r ...
