S4 E15 - Eight Steps to Highly Successful Life
In one of the most pivotal moments of a person’s life, it’s important for students to prepare not just for careers, but for engaged, responsible citizenship. One of the most important steps someone will ever take is deciding among college, trade school, or directly into ‘life’. It marks the beginning of a career, of new opportunities, and most importantly, the first steps of freedom. What is often missed in this decision is the fact that people in their early 20s have brains that are still developing. This is the time to put in place key remaining habits important to life such as mindset, risk taking, and understanding responsibility. If your kid is deciding about this choice or is already exercising it, how can you help her make the most of the experience? Although this show will focus on college, the lessons spill over into any satisfying life. My guest this week is Dr. Philip Glotzbach, former President of Skidmore College, where he led the prestigious liberal arts college for 17 years. His experience, seeing the college journey of countless students, has made him realize some fundamental truths about how to make the most out of being in college. How can a student make their years in college the most transformative ones of their life? How can they embrace their newfound freedom to build a life of growth? #freedom #college #knowledge #learning #brain #development #resilience
