Remember to have fun!
This week in 420 we presented learning initiative prototypes, and I was reminded of a small, but key, part of learning: the importance of having fun! Our team theme is creating a unified process “train track”, so we wore conductor hats & whistles and bandanas. It instantly brought smiles to ours and the class’s faces,…

Reflected Best Self Exercise
I’ve been working on gathering success stories from friends, family, co-workers, and bosses for my Reflected Best Self Exercise.

Seeing what we’ll work towards and accomplish over the next 12 months initially felt like a lot; however, each class’s objectives and how we’ll successfully reach our end goal reassured me. I also appreciated hearing how others are…
