Lifetime educator, Dr. Mindy Shaw, maintained a philosophy in her classroom of 4 to 8 year olds to "teach humanity daily" in addition to the more traditional skill sets of reading, writing and math. Now, in an era of remote and hybrid learning, the notion of teaching humanity is somewhat threatened. She has created a series of e-books and paperbacks so that parents can have the tools they need for also teaching social and emotional skills, and in this series, Dr. Shaw discusses what it means to teach humanity both in general and in an era of learning via computer.

    BREAK FROM OLD HABITS - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 275

    In this very personal episode, Dr. Shaw shares one of the topics that is very important to her in manifesting her own personal growth, and that topic is the process involved in breaking away from old habits and developing a new "muscle" in order to evolve.  She describes the process as it works for her, and that process begins with self-observation.  In observing ourselves, we see how we are and we can in turn compare that to how we want to be.  That re-set in our mind is so valuable in creating the path to betterment.  Then, in the course of this podcast, Dr. Shaw outlines the road map for personal transformation.... it begins with intention, focuses on attention, and then we can recalibrate if our old patterns that we observe and that we hold onto don't serve us any longer.

    LIVE LIFE WITH CONFIDENCE - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 274

    In this brief but very powerful episode, Dr. Shaw coaches us on how to have confidence and also that by being confident, we can manifest our best life.   She begins by acknowledging that confidence is not about having swagger, nor is it about one-upmanship... it's about having a strong belief in oneself.  By valuing yourself, the world will meet you as someone of value.  She shares some of her own goals, and by doing so Dr. Shaw illustrates how meeting your goals gives you self-worth which in turn improves your station in life.  We all have an old belief system in which we don't believe in ourselves, but when we see that, we simply need to recalibrate and move ahead.  And again, having confidence does not mean that you need to outshine others.... in fact by shining light on others even more light reflects back on us.

    BE SINCERE FOR GREATER FULFILLMENT - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 273

    In this fascinating episode, Dr. Shaw put forth the notion that SINCERITY leads to greater fulfillment.  On the surface that may seem like a leap, but as she discusses and illustrates how it works, and it comes together as a smart, interesting and very true theory.  She begins by talking about the power of the word, and specifically, she talks about words of affirmation.  For example, if words of affirmation are offered without sincerity, they won't have the power.  The same thing goes for actions in addition to words... actions that should be sincere but are not will not be as fulfilling as actions offered and received with sincerity.  As with all of Dr. Shaw's teaching and podcasts, listen and ponder, and watch the puzzle pieces of life fit together.

    HAVING PROFESSIONAL SELF WORTH - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 272

    This episode in this series presents a highly personal point of view while at the same time is completely a "must-listen" for teachers and educators.  Here, Dr. Shaw discusses her recent return to classroom teaching, and in doing so she dissects her motivations, her own insecurities and her strategies for success.  She talks about her self-examination and her implementation of intention.  She points out that we need to recalibrate when we see ourselves going in the wrong direction and that we should demonstrate to our children what those actions look like.  She discusses her own challenges, perspectives and resiliency in a way that can provide a roadmap for all of us on how to live a better professional life.

    WE ARE OUR FOCUS - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 271

    Once again, Dr. Shaw takes us on a journey through the power of positive thinking.  Early in the this episode she states that "We are what we think about," and she follows that up with the philosophy that she is trying to treat people as they ought to be and not as they are.  That attitude allows us to see everyone we encounter in the most positive light, and by doing that, we also create self-respect.  It's a philosophy that can extend easily to our children but it is also applicable in any adult's life.  One key habit to break is focusing on the negative... by marking and noting and celebration the good things that come along, no matter how small they may seem, that attention paid to the good stuff will only bring more good stuff.

    LIVE THE LIFE YOU LOVE - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 270

    In this brief episode, Dr. Shaw explores her philosophy that we should all live the life that we love, and that we should teach our children to do the same.  It starts by identifying what you love.  Dr. Shaw is a contributor right now at a Montessori School and she shares some of the wonderful experiences she is having there.  She also mentions her children's book called "Time Out is Time In" which postulates that when a child is getting a time out they are really give the opportunity to reflect and to check in on themselves.  Learning how to navigate the world is an important ingredient to learning what you love.  Dr. Shaw talks about having quality relationships, and the bottom line for this topic is that the first quality relationship we need to have is with ourselves.

    In this ultra helpful episode, Dr. Shaw shares the eight (8) key principles that guide her life, and she shares these in order to provide help and guidance to anyone who hears these.  So many of us are looking for answers and trying to figure out what we are doing incorrectly in our lives.  As Dr. Shaw says, in some ways her list of principles are obvious and common sense, but by listing them out and offering a bit of explanation for each, she really does provide a remarkable roadmap for a fulfilling life.

    YEAR-END REFLECTION - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 268

    In this brief but timely episode, Dr. Shaw takes advantage of the turning of the page of the calendar year in order to put forth a key tenet of her philosophy.... and that is that we should treat others as they ought to be, not as they are.   That practice of treating others as they ought to be puts the focus on helping and improving, and there is no better quality to a relationship than to be capable of lifting each other up.  Also, the gift is remembering in the moment what that intention looks like.  Wishing a Happy and Healthy and Fulfilled New Year (2026) to you and yours!
