In yesterday’s post I wrote about my love of teaching. In the work I do, there are two areas of learning I love facilitating most. One is helping students learn ways to build effective teams and foster an environment where everyone understands how each member can best contribute to the team. The second is in the area of helping students learn about their strengths.
In last week’s post I wrote about our tendency to focus on deficit-fixing, and to challenge that narrative I asked you to consider: “What is something that’s always come naturally to you, where time flowed because you felt so engaged?”
Continuing from last week’s post it’s true for so many of us that the idea something about ourselves is broken often comes from the negative stories we tell ourselves and the many messages that society, our institutions and/or people in our lives, well intentioned or not, tell us.
