New World Normal

by Debbie Harrell

We are questioning, disrupting and transforming "Normal" to something more sustainable and enriching for us all. Debbie Harrell and her guests are challenging listeners to rethink their current routines & habits, their "shoulds & have-tos" and live more aligned with their passions and purpose. We are sharing stories of individuals who are making impactful changes in the world around them, working to create a more healthy, holistic, and inclusive future. We believe that the power to create social, environmental, and racial change lies with the collective, and we hope to inspire our listeners to make positive shifts in their own lives that will then ripple out and create positive change in the world.

Critical Thinkers: Raise One, Be One - with Julie Bogart

52m · Published 17 Mar 08:00

Albert Einstein is often credited as saying, “Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” The quote’s true origins are unknown, but the sentiment has a Facebook-shareable quality to it and has gained traction as modern attitudes toward education grow and shift.

In this episode we chat with the author of The Brave Learner and Raising Critical Thinkers, Julie Bogart. Julie draws on years of research and experience to discuss the flaws in our educational system exposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. School closures and distance learning have also offered families an opportunity to evaluate the direction of today’s schooling practices, and many agree: It’s time for change.

Topics Covered:

The longstanding vulnerabilities in our educational system and the harm ultimately caused by standardized testing and teaching practices
The uptick in homeschooling that has resulted from the pandemic and continues even as restrictions lift
How can parents help cultivate a dynamic and diverse learning experience for children?
Training our own critical thinking skills by interrogating our gut reactions
Why it’s good to disagree
Technology’s role in learning and the importance of unplugging regularly

Escaping Social Awkwardness, Craig Gustafson

41m · Published 24 Nov 00:34

Welcome back to the NWN Podcast today I am talking with Craig Gustafson. Craig is a Certified Body Language Trainer, on a mission to help everyone he can in Escaping their Social Awkwardness. As a 26-year submarine veteran, and self-described recovering social misfit, he understands what it takes to learn the science of social interaction. He has appeared on numerous podcasts and regularly gives training to small businesses with public-facing staff, to help them interact better with their customers. His true passion is helping young adults, especially those who may identify as neurodiverse, learn how to create better connections with the people in their lives. He uses science-based strategies to teach the invisible but very real science of body language. I hope you enjoy listening as we chat about making connections with people you might not agree with, entrepreneurship during a pandemic and making the world a better place. We have a great conversation, and since this is being released the week of Thanksgiving (USA) I am going to leave you with a NWN holiday challenge…ask better questions make an effort to build better connections with the people in your life…even the family members you don’t agree with – see if you can have a conversation where you both feel seen and heard… Because The truth really is we all win when we have good social interactions, and real improvement is possible if you’re willing to try.

Craig also does one-on-one and small group coaching with young adults and entrepreneurs who feel socially awkward or socially disenfranchised. Be sure to connect with him on his website (EscapingSocialAwkwardness.com) or his new Facebook Community.
