Be creative and see how many ideas you can come up with. What struck you as the most interesting "take away" from this video? Discuss any additional reactions, thoughts, comments about the video. WEEK 4 and 5 https://online.mun.ca/content/enforced/226811-41418.201601/I%20tried%20a%20brain.docx?_&d2lSessionVal=NjmhN8kVP0gkExuwEs59YnE58&ou=226811 QUESTIONS; What is your initial reaction to this article? How concerned are you about the possible ethics issues? Do you think the “moods on demand” concept is a good idea? Why or why not? What are some additional ways in which this technology can be used? WEEK 6 Imagine that you have been given an unusual job opportunity. For the next five years you will be in charge of running an existing business. This can be any business of your choice currently in existence -- one that actually exists (not an imaginary business). Business choice is not limited to a Canadian business -- it can be any business in the world. Your annual salary will be $150,000. You will not receive any additional income from the business other than your base salary -- no stock options and no share of profits. Which company/ business will you choose? Why? During your time there, you are tasked with making at least one major change to improve the business. What will it be? WEEK 8 https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-entrepreneurship-can-save-arts-education-michael-luchies QUESTIONS; How do you feel about the shift in arts education due to students "giving up their interest and ability in the arts for more stable and higher paying careers"? What do you think is the root of the problem? As the author asks at the end of the article, is he "on the right track"? Do you agree with his recommendations? Do his recommendations actually address the problem of the decline in arts education? If not, can you come up with any other ideas? WEEK 9 Baron, Franklin, & Hmieleski found the following: (from the Abstract): While creating and running new ventures, entrepreneurs are exposed to conditions known to generate high levels of stress (e.g., rapid change, unpredictable environments, work overload, personal responsibility for others). Thus, it has been assumed that they often experience intense stress. A markedly different possibility, however, is suggested by Attraction-Selection-Attrition (ASA) theory. This perspective suggests that persons who are attracted by, selected into, and persist in entrepreneurship may be relatively high in the capacity to tolerate or effectively manage stress. In contrast, persons who are relatively low in this capacity tend to exit from entrepreneurship either voluntarily or involuntarily. As a result, founding entrepreneurs as a group are predicted to experience low rather than high levels of stress while running new ventures. Results supported this reasoning: Founding entrepreneurs reported lower levels of stress when compared to participants in a large national survey of perceived stress. Additional findings indicate that entrepreneurs’ relatively low levels of stress derive, at least in part, from high levels of psychological capital (a combination of self-efficacy, optimism, hope, and resilience). Psychological capital was negatively related to stress, and stress, in turn, was negatively related to entrepreneurs’ subjective well-being. Furthermore, and also consistent with ASA theory, the stress-reducing effects of psychological capital were stronger for older than younger entrepreneurs.

Watch the following video: Ted Talk: Stresshttp://www.ted.com/talks/kelly_mcgonigal_how_to_make_stress_your_friend?language=en (Students have mentioned finding this video particularly helpful around exam time!) Discuss any possible links you see between the findings reported in the above abstract and the video content. How is this video applicable for your own life? What do you think are the most important take-aways from the video? WEEK 10 ratitude Letter. Sit down and write a letter to someone who has exerted a positive influence in your life but whom you have not properly thanked.
