We take care of our physical body by going to see doctors, working out, and eating healthy, all without questioning why. However, we don’t pay half the attention when it comes to our mental health. Taking care of our minds should be the same. After all, it’s just as important for us to focus on our mental health as it is our physical health. This wasn’t always clear to me, especially when I was growing up. .

I didn’t know it when we purchased the house but apparently Arizona remains fertile ground for people still interested in getting in on the gold rush. So he spent a small fortune on gold prospecting gear and cajoled me into heading deep into the desert in search of his sure to be fortune.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Authentically leading can be very challenging. That’s because leadership is about people. People will frequently surprise you. If you asked 10 people what they liked best about working for a particular company you could well receive 10 different answers. At least a few of those answers would be surprising. It’s hard to find a room full of people who will agree on anything, especially these days.

Early decision (ED) is when a college accepts a student months before the regular acceptance date. Although ED can help secure a place at your top school, it comes with a catch: If accepted, you must attend that school. This binding agreement could be a problem for students needing financial aid. For starters, ED prevents you from comparing financial aid packages from multiple schools.
