    How to Get Kids to Take Responsibility

    How to Get Kids to Take Responsibility

    This week, I interviewed Bernie Godwin and Anna Hopper from Loving Our Students on Purpose to discuss building a culture of connection, joy, and responsibility in schools and personal life. We covered key concepts from our masterclass, like being a powerful person through self-management, using empowering language, and focusing on behaviour education over management. We also explored creating a culture of empowerment, where students solve problems independently. These strategies can transform our schools and communities.For more information on how to bring this to your school, email me at Connie@conniejakab.com

    How We Can Overcome Loneliness - even when we're surrounded

    Feeling alone in a room full of people is a strange and
    unsettling reality many of us face. In this episode, I delve into the loneliness
    that can strike in our homes, marriages, and  classrooms.

     

    Drawing from personal experiences, especially the early
    years of my marriage, I share how my husband and I overcame the feeling of
    being disconnected despite being physically present with each other.
    Celebrating 25 years together, we’ve come a long way from those lonely days.

     

    Inside, I offer practical steps to combat loneliness, from
    identifying desired environments to establishing supportive systems and
    creating a common language around our values. Together, we can make sure no one
    feels alone.
