56. The Stories We Tell Ourselves with Alexis Shepard, The Afroeducator
Listen to the Podcast:
Hey Designers,
Today we are talking to Alexis Shepard, also known as the AfroEducator. Alexis shares with us her story of leaving the classroom and her vision for how educators can change the stories they tell themselves to create a more fulfilling teaching experience.
Even if you are not an educator, you can learn much about reenvisioning your life from this conversation with Alexis.
In this episode, you will learn how to flip the narrative you’ve been telling yourself so that your story, your job, and your life feel fulfilling and uplifting.
If you love the investigation that we have been doing around the LEADER mindset, I’m offering an intro course to the LEADER mindset called Project You: Design Thinking for a Better Life. It’s similar to what we have been doing here on the podcast, but it includes a community and feedback and help from me to you personally. I’ve collaborated with Poppd.co to bring you this course. It’s a new platform to explore professional learning for educators by educators.
