Jason Shaffer: Helping Students Create an Online Presence Set Up for Success
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxByW3dNH-I 



George Couros begins this episode with a reflection on why it is important to focus on what our students should do instead of what not to do. During this introduction, did you think of an elephant? If so, you just showed the power of this point! Very often, when we focus on what we - and our students - shouldn’t do, we are placing those negative ideas and actions in our heads. We get the best results when we phrase things at a higher bar and explain what we actually hope happens. This episode with Jason Shaffer focuses on leaving an empowering online presence. How do we help our students be in a place where their online presence creates opportunities for them? You are going to love this episode of The Innovator’s Mindset Podcast with Jason Shaffer especially if you want to help your learners build a positive online presence.

How will you finish the year? - May 2023 Highlights from the #InnovatorsMindset #Podcast

We often talk about "risk taking" in education, but what does it mean? In this episode, George will try to remove the "fear" out of taking risks and shift the thinking on how we look at taking risks as an opportunity to move to something better than what we have.  There is also a reminder that there are risks associated with the things we "don't" do.

George Couros's Album

The Innovator's Mindset - Season 1 - Episode 1 - How do you see risk taking?

In this episode, George Couros will discuss the hardest keynote he has ever had to do and what he did in that moment.

There will always be issues and things that will be tough to overcome. Sometimes, it is out of our hands, and SOMETIMES, it can be directly related to what we do.  In this episode, George Couros will share how he recalibrated his thinking and how it started opening doors for him and how we have to take ownership of our pathway because ultimately, we are the ones steering the direction.

The Innovator's Mindset -  Season 1 - Episode 6 - You Are Always the Solution

In September of 2018, I wrote the post "10 Core Values for Education" based on the "Core Values" of the online shoe company, Zappos.  

In this podcast, George Couros will share something he did that was more focused on following the rules rather than doing what was right for my students, and how creating and discussing our "core values" as a school or district can put us in the position to do what is right by the standards of our "policies," but more importantly, what is right by the students and staff we serve. 

I would love to hear your thoughts so please share with me to Instagram or Twitter at @gcouros or to the #InnovatorsMindset podcast.

The Innovator's Mindset - Season 1 - Episode 13 - 10 Core Values for Education

As a parent, I think a lot about what I hope for my own kids in their school experience, and I wish this for not only other students but staff as well.  What are some of the things that parents need to know for their kids? What are some of the hopes we have for our own children?  What does school look like in any setting? 

George Couros shares these thoughts in this podcast.  In the comments below, what are some of your hopes for kids and school?
