    3 Ways School Failed Us - Ep 43

    3 Ways School Failed Us - Ep 43

    Ever been shackled by the fear of failure, or felt pigeonholed by traditional education's narrow path to success? I sure have, and in today's eye-opening discussion, we're shaking off those chains. Journey with me through the dark alleys of schooling where failure is a foe, not a friend, and discover how embracing our stumbles can actually pave the way to true learning. We're not just reframing failure; we're revolutionizing it, turning 'FAIL' into a First Attempt In Learning. And as for the misfits and the mavericks, it's time they're seen not as outcasts, but as untapped potential waiting to challenge the status quo.

    Now let's talk autonomy – the kind that educational systems seldom prepare us for, but that's essential for thriving in today's fast-paced world. I'm peeling back the layers on self-directed learning and how it empowers us to carve our own path, rather than being swept along by societal currents. As we gear up to celebrate our 50th episode, it's a call to action for all listeners to redefine success on their own terms and to boldly step into a future where adaptability is king. Your input is invaluable, and as we continue this journey together, let's keep pushing boundaries and elevating our collective approach to work, education, and personal growth. Here's to learning, unlearning, and relearning – because that's where our true power lies. Peace out.

    University Time Management Workshop -Ep 41

    University Time Management Workshop -Ep 41

    Ever feel like you're juggling work, school, and personal life but keep dropping the ball? That's exactly what we tackled at my recent workshop at the University of West Indies, Keefe Hill campus, and I'm excited to share the wisdom gleaned from that day. This week's session is all about mastering time management and shrugging off the heavy cloak of procrastination that too many of us wear. We dove into the crux of why we push tasks to the last minute, and I got personal, revealing how basketball became my way of escaping responsibilities, providing a fleeting victory but leaving me with work I wasn't proud of.

    As we wove through the intricacies of postponing the inevitable, we opened up about the overwhelm that often triggers this cycle. I introduced a game-changing approach dubbed 'Start Procrastinating' (SOP), which, contrary to its name, is all about conquering those big, crucial tasks head-on. By prioritizing the 'big rocks' in our daily lives, we allow room for the smaller ones, creating a balance that's often lost in the chaos of our schedules. And remember, while it's tempting to tackle everything at once, our session highlighted the triumph of breaking down tasks and appreciating incremental victories over the stress of last-ditch efforts.

    Wrapping up, we focused on the joy of being part of a fruitful discussion, underscoring the importance of self-reflection and the support of those around us. Whether it's understanding the 'home advantage' concept to plan out your week or seeking help when your routine is lacking, this episode is a treasure trove of strategies to keep you moving forward effectively. So, if you're ready to say goodbye to cramming and hello to a more organized, productive you, then this is one conversation you won't want to miss.
