Comment on Roger Schank’s Top 10 Mistakes in Education by Tom

Tom — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:00:11 +0000

Schank’s work speaks to me to the point I’d like to work for him. I worry quite a bit about just how entrenched these ideas are in education now. It’s getting more and more depressing to be part of a system that is focusing entirely on things like testing and assessment. Between his comments and other people like Alfie Kohn, I find things that echo what I feel in my heart about education- really that things don’t have to be like this. What I don’t know is how to change it. I don’t know if that change happens from within or without. I don’t know where I should be to create that kind of foundational change.

Comment on The “Facts” about Internet Sexual Abuse and Schools by Pete Reilly

Cheyanne,
I’m sorry to hear about your sister. Your point about ‘fear’ holding back victims from coming forward to prosecute their abusers is well taken. There is also an element of ’shame’. It’s best to have a lot of compassion for the victims.

these graphs are horrible! obviously with need-to-know information, but i cannot stand to look at them any longer. is all of this true? my older sister was sexually abused 3 times and she has not said anything to anyone. i only recently found out, but now looking at these charts, i am afraid that there are other girls and boys like her. i could be wrong, but just imagine if so many kids are afraid of their perpatrators and nobody wants to come out and prosecute them-due to their fear!

Comment on Leadership and the Two Handed Set Shot by Pete Reilly

Dan,
I like your question. The best answer I can give is that you have to keep on learning. While there are certain basics that are universal, in order to be of greatest service, you must be in training as a leader all the time.

Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, were two of the best players of all time; but they kept coming to the basketball court early to keep sharp and keep improving. They never stopped honing their skills.

So how does one exit the game gracefully and become a “leadership coach” if the competencies constantly change?

Comment on How Do We Change? by Pete Reilly

Isobel,
My biggest influences are Richard Strozzi Heckler, founder of the Strozzi Institute, and a pioneer of the role of ’somatics’ in leadership….Thomas White, founder of Profoundly Simple, who takes much of Richard’s work and adds the dimension of the ‘heart’ to the leadership conversation…Peter Luzmore, principal of Synthesis, who ’synthesizes’ the work of both.

I’ve had the honor of working with all three to improve my own leadership effectiveness. I am, and always will be, on the leadership journey.
