Silencing the Inner Critic
Download MP3Sam Tarell is a serial entrepreneur and TEDx speaker. He's the founder of Divergent U, a one year alternative to college in Orlando, Florida to help students discover their professional purpose and achieve their dream lifestyle.
Key Takeaways:
- Setting a quick timer to design or reach a goal turns off the critic in our head and silences the negativity so that we can enter a state of divergent thinking quicker.
- The less we talk when leading workshops or lessons, the better the learning is for students.
- It's important to trust that you don't have to provide all the value to groups because often its more valuable from those who are experiencing the issues.
- Lessons structure:
- Divergent question
- One or two frameworks
- Framework activity after explanation
- Goal setting
- One major takeaway.
- The best teaching comes from finding nuggets of value in wisdom for every student and repeating them back to them.
- Discovering where freedom exists on the freedom spectrum.
- Finding the balance between highly structured so that results are repeatable but free enough so that the process can be individualized.
- If youth are to develop to the best level, then failure has to be acceptable, expected, and understood. It needs to be safe, okay, and even promoted a little bit as an opportunity to learn.
