SEL Convergence

Thom and Mike take the show on the road in this episode! Recorded at the LifeSkills Conference in Elizabethtown, they sit down with two very invested staff members to talk about the impact of their work.

Thom and Mike welcome Jessie McFarland into the studio to talk about the aspects of wellness that so many of us sacrifice while serving others. Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup.

This time we are digging deeper into the science of please and thank you. Gratitude is often given away to others, but we receive a lot in return.

Kindness is survival. We are hardwired for it despite the social norms that we so often find ourselves trapped in.

What is empathy? Is it just a buzzword or is it a reasarched and proven component of human success?

In this two-part podcast, Thom and Mike take a detailed approach in explaining how a strong classroom community is founded and nurtured.
