The concert and book
I went to the concert in Boston Philharmonic on Thursday, October 18. It was great performance!!! Especially because I was seating next to composer Shirish Korde and I was listening concert mistress Joanna Kurkowicz, who is polish. The Korde's music was fabulous, that combines elements of Western and India instrumental techniques and rhythms. Kurkowicz demonstrated strong personality and assured technique. It was pleasure for me to meet and talk to her after the concert. Before and after the program people could buy the Zander's book - The Art of Possibility. I already read the book which combines Bengamin Zander's experiences as conductor of the Boston Philharmonic and his talent as a teacher and communicator with psychotherapist Rosamund Stone Zander's genius for designing innovative examples for personal and professional changes. The book teach us how to become passionate communicators, leaders and performers in our life, also it offers a lot of practices, which gives an opportunity for personal and organizational transformation.
A University in the Midst of Storms
In October 23 I went to the lecture by Eliezer Rafaeli, who has faced unique management challenges in his career. Eliezer Rafaeli was the first President and now Chancellor of the Hifa University in Israel.
This school is unique as a Jewish-Arab project, which demonstrates peace and collaboration in mixed population. He was talking about how education is important in our life. Process of learning and teaching is by getting information from Internet, media... Then we should convert this information to knowledge and wisdom. He was also talking about politics and history of Israel, which is very sad and tragic. The University is facing challenges, it try to educate people to reach democracy, live without discrimination and differences, fight for dialog between cultures and religions. Israel is a develop country, becouse of that the Hife University's goal is to create leadership, trust, stability, peace and respect. Acording to Eliezer Rafaeli, a true leader must respect people or subject, sacrefised, and has a vision based on knowlegde. This was very interesting and touching lucture for me.

Presentation
Today I have a presentation in Professor Seo class. This is my second public speech in this school and almost in my life! Stress....... and I have some problems with sending comments to my classmates. Sometimes technology makes me crazy. I feel that I still don't know enough.
Development plan
My strengths: teamwork and collaboration
My weaknesses: emotional self-control and adaptability
To achieve my goals I have to:
1. learn how to manage my impulsive feelings and distress emotions well
2. stay composed, positive and unflappable even in trying moments
3. think clearly and stay focused under pressure
To practice and develop my E.I. I will be talking about my problems and experiences with my classmates, listing and using their ideas or advices and recruiting them to role-play troubling situations with me so I can try out new self-control strategies. I will read more books and articles about E.I. and attend to seminars and trainings. If I will get the support from my friends, colleagues and partners and I will communicate with them openly with respect, I will be able to:
- manage my impulsive feelings and distressing my emotions in difficult situations
- think clearly and stay focused under pressure,
- handle changes and challenges very flexible

Do I have intuition?
I think I do. Many people say that every woman has intuition. Sometimes I have a "gut feeling", which tell me what I should do or what decision I should make.
For me intuition is our inner knowing, the part of us that serves as an inner compass. It is our one trustworthy source of knowledge,which allows us to gain perception, insight, understanding and compassion about our past and to make decisions about the future. Intuition help us decide if a person, job, move or treatment is right for us, despite what anyone else is saying. Responsible for this is amygdala - the site of the brain where the emotions an experience evokes are stored. According to Goleman, young people have stronger intuition than old, because life experiences add up and they are afraid to take a risk.
