ELAM News to Know
The 2016 ELUM Professional Development Program - a recap
January saw another successful ELUM Professional Development program in Durham, North Carolina. Over 90 ELUMs from ELAM and ELATE were in attendance as we explored the science and practice of positivity. Facilitators Barbara Fedrickson and Mary Brantley led us through a series of sessions exploring the use of mindfulness and meditation positivity through all aspects of life, from our careers to our eating habits. Sabina Nawaz, Page Morahan, and Monica Brockmeyer rounded out the program with lessons on coaching, being coached, and effective ways of influencing others. Yoga, meditation, and tai chi sessions enhanced the learning with physical and mental practice. And of course, some of the best parts of the program were having the opportunities to reconnect with our ELUM community - touching base with "old" classmates and meeting new members of the community as well.
Thank you to all of our attendees and facilitators for making this such an inspiring, educational, and exceptional event. We look forward to seeing you all again for the next professional development program, coming January 2017 in Denver, CO (watch your email inbox and the ELAM Edge for more information as the date approaches)!

Articles of Note
LinkedIn Pulse, February 15, 2016:
Articles abound about the nature of introversion and extraversion, and a resurgence of something in-between called "ambiversion" (coined by Kimball Young in "Source Book for Social Psychology", 1927), the most recent of which appeared last week in The Huffington Post. I am often asked about ambiversion by people who have read about it. They wonder if that term provides more room to be themselves than their MBTI® or personality type preference does.
Quartz, February 25, 2016:
It's hard to remember these days, but just a few years ago, everybody loved Hillary Rodham Clinton. When she stepped down as US secretary of state in January 2013 after four years in office, her approval rating stood at what the Wall Street Journal described as an "eye-popping" 69%. That made her not only the most popular politician in the country, but the second-most popular secretary of state since 1948.
. . .
How times have changed. "The FBI And 67 Percent of Americans Distrust Hillary Clinton," booms a recent headline in the Huffington Post. Clinton's favorability ratings currently hover around 40.8%. Bob Woodward complains that "there is something unrelaxed about the way she is communicating." "Hillary's personality repels me," Walker Bragman writes in Salon.
Inside Higher Ed, February 26, 2016:
A study of attitudes in the United States, Canada and India has linked ideologies with the way people assess the credibility of researchers. Research subjects were given research reports to read with photographs of the authors. The research subjects were also asked a series of questions. Those with elitist attitudes generally said that male researchers were more credible. Those with egalitarian attitudes were more likely to say that female or minority researchers were more credible.
Knowledge @ Wharton, Weekend Edition, February 26, 2016:
In The Happiness Track: How to Apply the Science of Happiness to Accelerate Your Success, Emma Seppälä, science director of Stanford's Center for Compassionate Altruism Research in Education, challenges the idea that success requires stress.
In a conversation with Knowledge@Wharton, Seppälä identifies some success myths and talks about ways that calmness can improve productivity and performance.
Forbes Leadership, February 29, 2016:
Not getting along with a colleague at work? You're not alone. From petty politics, to underhanded power moves, to shirking teammates, the office environment seems like a Petri dish designed to breed conflict. And conflict comes at a high cost: for employees, that cost is wasted time and unhappiness; for organizations, workplace conflicts cost hundreds of billions of dollars.
. . .
So what can you do to reclaim your sanity, lower stress and help foster an environment where conflict is less likely to happen in the first place? The answer is to "tell stories" about your colleagues. I don't mean engage in gossip, make false accusations or otherwise tell negative stories about your co-workers. Actions like these will only increase conflict.
Instead, tell productive stories.

Dear Extroverts,
We love your energy and your excitement. But as introverts, we sometimes feel misunderstood. We wish you could visualize what's going on inside our brains-you might be surprised! Here are six illustrations of what it's like to be in our heads.
Sincerely,
