MONDAY MATTERS with Jen Schwanke and Will Parker – Avoiding the Binary
Manage episode 479592437 series 1111974
Welcome back to Monday Matters! This week, Will Parker and Jen Schwanke are discussing a chapter from Will’s new book, Whose Permission Are You Waiting For? An Educator’s Guide to Doing What You Love. The chapter is on avoiding the binary, and discusses innovative ways for readers to approach decision making in their work through the use of the Odyssey Process (Burnett and Evans, 2016). When using the Odyssey Process, it is important to consider more than two possible options while pondering a decision. Will shares how he used this process as a school leader by physically mapping out all of the options available to him on the walls of his office. He then invites leaders to think about the path they are on at the moment. Jen chimes in to remind listeners to stay out of their own way when they are making career defining decisions. She also encourages listeners to explore all possible options for their decisions, stating that you never know how many open doors are out there. Listen in to hear the whole conversation! Thank you for doing what matters!
