Reflections
The New Nurturing Potential
Issue 3, the Autumn
issue, was duly published in September
2013.
The next issue - Winter 2013 - is
scheduled for publication towards the end of December 2013.
In the meantime, we hope you will avoid
withdrawal symptoms with the aid of this issue of Potential
Unleashed and the issue that will appear in late November.
Actions
We have created Nurturing Potential
groups on both the Facebook and the LinkedIn social
networking sites. So far we have a disappointing
number of members, that suggests (and we don't think this is
being naively modest) we may not have advertised it
appropriately on the sites, or have made it difficult for
applicants to sign-up for membership. If you have any
information or suggestions to support this, please let us
know, using our direct email link
team@nurturingpotential.net .
Prospects
The Winter 2013 issue of Nurturing Potential iIt
will feature the conclusion of the main theme of Teamwork.
Amongst
other articles that have been
commissioned or promised are
In the
Education Section
Reinforcement Theory -
using
"positive reinforcements,"
to maintain discipline in
schools and strategies to
deal with bad behaviour.
In the
Arts Section
Social
Networking
- what
are the pros and cons of
social networking? Facebook,
MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn .
. . there are a multitude of
options for people who want
to get together with other
people. But to what
purpose? What does it
provide - and to whom - that
is not available elsewhere?
What are the risks? What
are the potential rewards?

In the Book Review Section
The
right-hand column starts
with a list of books we have
received for review in the
next issue of New Nurturing
Potential. If you
would like to review any of
these, please let us know.
We are looking for
contributions in the form of
articles, or "Letters to the
Editor" on these or - indeed
- any other subjects for
inclusion in the next issue
of New Nurturing
Potential.
Last date for contributions
is December 15, 2013.
