Hey

We are onto WEEK-5 of the OPC Curious Minds Quest which means you've got this week and a short week next week to get your entries in to win the $250 prize draw!!

Let's go!

And just in case you're not motivated by a continued education cash prize, here's a snippet or two from week-4 to inspire you to explore the OPC resources and take a little time to integrate them into your practice skill set...

"Reflecting on #7, I really heard this time that often the most important question parents have comes at the end of the session! And yes this happened, with no time left! So I am going to try and be more mindful of leaving 15 min for the bomb to drop!!

Vicky Mead

"The laser coaching was really useful (thank you Steph for sharing). My nugget from this was that during a coaching session you can actually have a go at what it is you're discussing if you get a bit stuck.

Stacie Ahern

Wow, so this has been amazing! I have always felt so much (self-induced) pressure to pack so much into each PT session for a child and family, thinking I have to give them all I have each time. I am trying now to slow everything down, not do less, just not feel I have to do it all in a day! It feels odd, but good, to be taking longer pauses after a question or a statement and to clarify, clarify, clarify. I am asking now after a teaching moment -"does this feel doable for you this week at home?" or "can you see yourself finding a way to make this work at home this week?" It will be a work in progress taming the advice (or I like to include the 'information') monster, but finding it quite worth it.

Beautiful insights, reflections and nuggets for us all to digest - Thank You!

Our top 3 are continuing to hold their lead!

Stacie Ahern, followed closely by Vickie Meade with Mandy Siao coming in third place.

And a wee reminder to our competitive members that you get the most points for curious questions!

And for the non-competitive types, a reminder that each point is an entry into the draw, so you can still participate even though these 3 ladies are crushing it 😉

You're not behind!

You don't need to catch up!

Just jump right in this week and grab yourself some nuggets and an entry or two into the cash prize draw!

The BIG prize of course is your confidence and growth, and the value that brings to the kids and families you work with,

but who doesn't love a little cash to throw around at some continued education courses too? So to sweeten the deal and get your competitive engine revving, each action you take gets you an entry into the big draw for a

$250.00 cash prize

and a few spot prizes thrown in just for fun.

Instructions

• Spotlight 8: Engagement, Visualization, and Practice in Coaching
• Scholar Sips Café: CMAP and Meaningful Goals

Share Your Favorite Nugget Here

You don't' have to do it all, but do one thing.

Squiz through the spotlight resources, watch the video, listen to the podcast, read the transcript.

2 - Take the Challenge and Reflect: This weeks challenge is to try either the Life Wheel or a version of CMAP (digital or on paper) and post an image in our Dashboard.

Post Your Image HERE

Share your reflections on the process. The good, the bad and the learnings.

3 - Ask a Curious Question: Curious questions are our highest value here in The Wired Collective. So for an impressive triple entry into the draw, add a curious question this week. It can be about the two spotlights we are covering, or any other question that's come up for you about coaching, goal setting and OPC that you would like us to dig into in our wrap-up Q&A with Dr. Fi Graham in February.

Ask Your Curious Question Here!

This is your chance to spark a thought-provoking discussion.

The OPC Quest for Curious Minds is not just an opportunity to win a valuable continued education voucher, but it's also a chance to deepen your understanding, connect with amazing members, and improve your clinical practice.

What's not to get excited about?

Logistics

1. Notifications: You'll want to make sure your notification settings are correct so that you don't miss out on the nuggets, insights and questions, and you also don't get too many notifications that clog your inbox. Head over to your profile and check you are happy with your notification settings HERE. You can choose from hourly, daily, weekly notifications - or none - but that would be pretty sad🙃
2. Prize Draw: We will do the Prize Draw at our Big Wrap-Up Q&A with Dr Fi Graham in February. You can check times and grab a seat HERE. Any comment you add as part of the challenge over this week gets you entries into the draw. You don't need to have completed all of them, but the more you complete, the more your chances (and your awesomeness) grow.
3. Navigating the challenge: The challenge is being hosted in the community forum on The Wired Collective Dashboard. There are 3 posts where you can add your comments. Add your nuggets in the nugget post, your reflection in the reflection post, and your question in the question post - you get the idea right 😊

The Community forum can be accessed from your side menu in the dashboard, or click any of the buttons in the instructions above to jump directly to the post.

That's it - let's play!

Have a wonderful week!
