Couros reflects on the challenges faced by educators today, including overwhelming demands and the need for authentic leadership, highlighting the significance of student input in shaping educational practices and the necessity for principals to maintain integrity and transparency. Quotes: “Being an authentic leader means leading with honest and sincere intentions while maintaining a high level of integrity.” - Dr. Marcus J. Belin “To truly transform the educational experience, school leaders must actively involve students in the decision-making process. By creating platforms for student voice, such as student councils, advisory boards, or regular feedback sessions, leaders empower students to contribute their perspectives, ideas, and aspirations. This not only fosters a sense of ownership and engagement but also ensures that decisions are made with a deep understanding of student needs and aspirations.” - Dr. Mary Hemphill “The point is, it's not what you have when you lead at school. It's what you do with what you have. It's not the plane. It's the pilot.” -Mike Kleba “If you are considering trying something new in your school, ask the people you serve what they believe is no longer needed. And if the answer is, ‘Well, there is nothing that we are doing currently that we can feasibly get rid of,’ then maybe the answer becomes not to take on that new initiative or idea.” -George Couros Links: Books by Allyson Apsey - https://allysonapsey.com/books/ What Makes a Great Principal - https://www.amazon.com/What-Makes-Great-Principal-Leadership/dp/1948334739 __________________________________________ Please share your thoughts with us on Twitter or Instagram at #InnovatorsMindset.

The Personal Battles We Win Along the Way - The #InnovatorsMindset #Podcast S5 EP47 12:36

George Couros reflects on a book he read while he was training for the Disney Marathon! In this episode, you will hear Couros share three thoughts from the book, Run the Mile You’re In by Ryan Hall. Be sure to check out this episode for a heartwarming story about how the ideas shared by Hall connected to Couros’ beloved dog, Odom. Quotes: “I believe that we each have a mission to accomplish and that we have been designed in such a way that we are not lacking anything to accomplish it. Everything we need is already inside of us. We just have to find it and figure out how to cultivate it.” - Ryan Hall “I had to remind myself to celebrate others’ achievements because what makes me special, important, or of worth has nothing to do with my or anyone else’s performance. I shouldn’t look down on myself for not doing as well as someone else because the goal isn’t to be better than everyone else. My goal, when I was at my best, was always to be the best version of me that I could be.

3 Reasons to Connect with People Who Challenge Your Thinking - The #InnovatorsMindset #Podcast 17:56

for 15 weeks siden17:56

17:56

This is based on the weekly email from George Couros that you can find here: https://mailchi.mp/7a6862cb6558/something-personal-professional-and-profound-email-15554026 A Snippet from the email: If you find yourself looking to be reaffirmed in your thinking, it might feel good, but eventually, it can lead you to making decisions that don't benefit you or your community. It is essential to recognize that being challenged doesn't always mean changing your position or, more importantly, your principles and values. Sometimes, understanding the viewpoints and perspectives of others can actually help reaffirm your thoughts and solidify your position, offering a differing perspective that may teach you how to present your ideas better. But I have learned that if you are focused on always being right, you will surround yourself with those who agree with you. If you want to do what is right, you will look to find those who challenge you. That is the best way to keep your ego in check. __________________________________________ Please share your thoughts with us on Twitter or Instagram at #InnovatorsMindset.

When we ask for ideas and thoughts, do we act on the thoughts being shared, how do we communicate when we cannot always take action in an timely manner? In this solo episode, Couros openly reflects and considers three ways that open reflection helps him inlcuding opportunities to consider thoughts shared by others, brainwriting, and having the opportunity to be inspired by others’ thoughts! Couros encourages you take your own spin on the thoughts shared in this episode -add something in the comments below are create your own post online. Quotes: "While you read this book, I encourage you to reflect both openly and privately, to dig deeper into the information. I have seen many posts on social media encouraging people to read '100 Books in a Year!' Reading is an essential part of being a learner, but from my perspective, it is better to read fewer books, reflect deeply, and create something with the knowledge that you have accumulated than to speed read and change nothing." - George Couros “When I write blog posts, you'll notice often I'll say, ‘here's A, B and C. What I'm not saying is D, E, and F...’” - George Couros Links: Blog Post, 3 Reasons Open Reflection Improves Learning https://us12.campaign-archive.com/?u=9381017234135a9c6d5f7419a&id=b918c9fb93 Dr. Alec Couros X - https://x.com/courosa __________________________________________ Please share your thoughts with us on Twitter or Instagram at #InnovatorsMindset.

Welcome back to a new episode of EPIC Book Review! In this episode, George Couros shares his reflection of the book, Hidden Potential, by Adam Grant. Couros dives into a series of quotes after sharing a summary of the book that he pulled from ChatGPT. Be sure to watch or listen to this episode to hear some Couros’ insights and thoughts after reading this book by Adam Grant! Quotes: "When you procrastinate, you’re not avoiding effort. You’re avoiding the unpleasant feelings that the activity stirs up. Sooner or later, though, you realize that you’re also avoiding getting where you want to go.” -Adam Grant "... the best way to learn something is to teach it. You remember it better after you recall it—and you understand it better after you explain it. All it takes is embracing the discomfort of putting yourself in the instructor’s seat before you’ve reached mastery. Even just being told you’re going to teach something is enough to boost your learning.” -Adam Grant "...kids tend to absorb foreign languages faster than adults. Yes, they benefit from greater brain plasticity (the developing mind rewires more quickly than the developed one) and less interference from prior knowledge (they’re not entrenched in the grammatical rules of one language). But they’re also largely immune to the fear of embarrassment and the discomfort of making mistakes. Children don’t hold back on communicating—they start babbling as soon as they know some new words. They’re not scared of feeling stupid or being judged.” - Adam Grant "Basic literacy makes it possible to leverage character skills more effectively—to be proactive in learning more and learning faster. Prosperity rises as people become more capable of absorbing new ideas and filtering out old ones.” - Adam Grant "Instead of only looking for geniuses where we expect to find them, we can reach humanity's greatest potential by cultivating the genius in everyone." - Adam Grant Links: Hidden Potential by Adam Grant on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Potential-Science-Achieving-Greater/dp/0593653149/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= The Innovator’s Mindset by George Couros on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Innovators-Mindset-Empower-Learning-Creativity/dp/0986155497 __________________________________________ Please share your thoughts with us on Twitter or Instagram at #InnovatorsMindset.

Using NotebookLM to generate a Convo on Adam Grant's Hidden Potential - #InnovatorsMindset S5EP38 11:11

for 23 weeks siden11:11

11:11

After the introduction, the conversation you are about to hear is between two people that do not exist. It is an AI generated podcast using the NotebookLM software from Google. It is based on a recent email I sent to my community on Adam Grant's "Hidden Potential" at this link: https://us12.campaign-archive.com/?u=9381017234135a9c6d5f7419a&id=ab84690870 I then uploaded the link to https://noteebooklm.google.com/ and gave a few prompts. The discussion in this podcast was what was generated with a few prompts. You can download study guides, summaries, FAQs etc. I then created visuals for youtube using pictory.ai After that, I added captions using CapCut and did final editing. In total, the process took me about 30 minutes, including recording the video. As I get better with it, I will probably be able to get faster in creating this space. Some questions to consider: 1. What are the negatives of this use of AI and what are the potential benefits? 2. How could we use this in our personal lives? 3. How could we use this to improve our professional lives? 4. How would students utilize this? I would love your thoughts on the process. Thanks for learning alongside me during this process!…
