In addition to his own books, he co-authored a college textbook and a high school textbook on American History. Summary In this episode, Jeff speaks with historian and author Alan Winkler about the importance of critical thinking in history education. They discuss how history textbooks have evolved to include social history, the challenges of teaching an “unsanitized” version of history, and the role of thematic learning in understanding patterns over time. The conversation also explores the Home Front during World War II, highlighting the propaganda efforts, labor movements, and the contributions of women and minorities to the war effort. Three Takeaways Thematic Learning Enhances Historical Understanding – Teaching history through themes like civil rights, immigration, and labor movements helps students recognize patterns and connections over time. The Home Front Was Complex and Contradictory – WWII propaganda united Americans, but racial discrimination, labor strikes, and shifting gender roles revealed deeper societal tensions. Critical Thinking is Essential in History Education – Encouraging students to analyze historical events beyond basic facts fosters deeper understanding and prevents the oversimplification of complex issues.

Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneGuest After completing an undergraduate degree in history and political science at Simon Fraser University, Paul McNicholls spent a career in insurance claims investigation. When nearing retirement, he was approached by the UK publisher Helion and Company, and the result was his first book Journey Through the Wilderness. He is now writing the story of Donald Montgomery who served with the Canadian Corps in the First World War. He moved to Vancouver in 1908 and was the older brother by one year of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery. In 2021, Paul received the Howard Browne Medal from the Victorian Military Society. Summary In this episode, Jeff and Paul explore the historical significance of World War II's Battle of the Bulge, coinciding with its 80th anniversary. Paul explains Hitler’s campaign goals, including his desire to split the American and British alliances and capture the port of Antwerp. Jeff provides the context for some of the events leading to the battle: the Allied breakout from the Normandy beaches, the Ally’s ill-fated Market Garden campaign, and the disastrous Battle of the Hurtgen Forest. Their conversation also focuses on the challenges of the harsh winter conditions, the U.S.’s initial troop limitations, and the German force’s need for fuel. The conversation also highlights lesser-known stories, such as the Malmedy Massacre and the brutal realities faced by soldiers in the Ardennes. Paul and Jeff share their experiences walking historic battlefields and how physically visiting these sites provides a deeper understanding of history's emotional and human elements. The discussion concludes with reflections on the importance of preserving these stories and their enduring lessons about leadership, resilience, and the cost of conflict. Three Takeaways Battlefield Lessons: The Battle of the Bulge illustrates the significance of tactical decisions, resource limitations, and the human cost of war in shaping history. Emotional Connection to History: Walking historic battlefields fosters a deeper understanding of the physical and emotional challenges the soldiers faced. Preserving Stories for the Future: Sharing lesser-known events, like the Battle of the Hurtgen Forest and the Malmedy Massacre, deepens the public’s understanding of the critical lessons of history.

Having been raised on a farm, the core values of work and community have been her guiding life principles. Yet, when facing life and career transitions, a pivotal point was learning how to achieve ambitions, not by working harder but by adopting a different mindset. Luann’s dive into the science of transformation led to her customized coaching of breakthroughs that achieve ambitions, make better decisions, and put zest into life without stress. Summary In this episode, Jeff speaks with Luann Horobin, a coach specializing in mindset, neuro coaching, and vertical development (see below). Luanne explains how understanding brain chemistry and mindset shifts can help individuals overcome inner resistance and unlock their potential. She introduces the concepts of the "red brain" (triggered by stress and fear) and the "green brain" (fostering creativity and decision-making) to illustrate how words and feedback impact brain function. Luann emphasizes the importance of reframing resistance as feedback and highlights the power of vertical development, which shifts underlying thought patterns to achieve lasting growth. They also explore combating ageism and rediscovering personal values, encouraging listeners to focus on their unique strengths and contributions. Three Takeaways Reframing Resistance: Recognizing resistance as feedback can help individuals shift their mindset and embrace growth opportunities. Vertical Development: vertical development refers to the process of fundamentally transforming the way we think, perceive, and approach challenges rather than just adding new tools, skills, information, or knowledge, which defines horizontal development. Combating Ageism: Focusing on personal strengths and unique contributions helps combat limiting beliefs and rediscover value at any stage of life.

She earned a Ph.D. from Sofia University and a Bachelor of Science from Boston College. Laura was trained as a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) instructor at the University of Massachusetts, Center for Mindfulness, and is an Allstate/Northwestern University Nonprofit Fellow. Laura has practiced and studied mindfulness for over 30 years and began teaching it to children 15 years ago. She realized it was difficult for children to commit to daily practice at home, leading to the creation of Inner Explorer in 2011. Inner Explorer provides a year-long sequence of short, audio-guided mindfulness practices that are easy to implement in the classroom each day! Students and educators practice together and improve their social-emotional capacities, leading to 43% less stress, 60% better emotional regulation and behavior, and 15% higher grades and test scores. Laura coined the term “Mindfulness-Based Social Emotional Learning-(MBSEL)” in 2012 to show that mindfulness is foundational to social-emotional functioning because it buffers stress and activates learning readiness. Summary In this episode, Jeff and Jillane Flanders, the Executive Director of the Center for Educational Improvement, talk with Laura Bakosh, Ph.D.., founder of Inner Explorer, about the transformative power of daily mindfulness in schools. Laura shares her journey into mindfulness and the development of her program, which provides simple, guided audio sessions for students from preschool to high school. The program emphasizes the connection between mindfulness and academic, behavioral, and emotional benefits, supported by extensive neuroscience research. Laura explains how mindfulness reduces stress, improves focus, and fosters emotional resilience, particularly in high-stress school environments. She highlights the challenges of implementation, including educator buy-in, and shares success stories of schools that have adopted the program, noting improvements in student behavior, academic performance, and school culture. The conversation concludes with strategies to integrate mindfulness into education more broadly and the need for systemic changes in teacher preparation programs. Three Takeaways: Daily Mindfulness Improves Outcomes: Regular mindfulness practice enhances focus, reduces stress, and boosts academic and behavioral performance in students. Simple Implementation is Key: Inner Explorer’s guided audio sessions make it easy for educators to integrate mindfulness without adding to their workload. Cultural Shift Required: Systemic changes, including mindfulness training in teacher preparation programs, are needed for widespread implementation. Social Media Email LBakosh@InnerExplorer.org .

Shifting integrates leadership development and change mechanics in a three-part change framework to help guide school leaders and their teams toward productive change. Summary In this reflective episode, I draw parallels between today's democratic challenges and two pivotal historical examples. Through my experiences teaching about World War II, I explore how America fought against tyranny abroad while struggling with discrimination and division at home. Using the documentary "The Twisted Cross," I taught students how Hitler's legal rise to power was fueled by hate and blame. I then explore the 1960 presidential election through the book and documentary "The Making of the President 1960," highlighting how Kennedy and Nixon's contentious campaign ultimately ended in a peaceful transfer of power—symbolized by a handshake in the snow. As America faces another crucial election, these historical lessons remind us that while democracy has always faced internal and external threats, the peaceful transition of power remains fundamental to our system of government. Key Takeaways While America's founding documents champion lofty ideals of equality and freedom, our experience during World War II reveals an ongoing struggle to fully embrace these principles in practice. Hitler's legal rise to power through targeted messaging of hate and blame demonstrates how easily average citizens can be manipulated into supporting a 'big lie,' serving as a stark warning about democracy's vulnerability to internal erosion. The 1960 election's culminating 'handshake in the snow' between former President Eisenhower and incoming President Kennedy exemplifies how the peaceful transfer of power, even amid fierce political competition, stands as the cornerstone of democratic governance.…

Through social media, her blog and her book, The Zero-Waste Chef: Plant-Forward Recipes and Tips for a Sustainable Kitchen and Planet , Anne-Marie shows others how reducing their trash not only benefits the planet but also satisfies their taste buds, improves their well-being and boosts their bank accounts. Summary Anne-Marie Bonneau offers practical approaches to reducing waste, particularly focusing on food waste and plastic consumption. She emphasizes that while achieving absolute zero waste isn't realistic, making small, manageable changes can have a significant impact. The discussion covers various accessible strategies, from using cloth shopping bags and produce bags to cooking with dried beans instead of canned ones. Anne-Marie addresses common misconceptions about food expiration dates and reveals that only 5% of plastic gets recycled in the US. She challenges the myth that sustainable living is necessarily expensive or time-consuming, suggesting that it often saves money by reducing food waste and unnecessary purchases. The conversation touches on composting initiatives, the problems with plastic recycling, and creative ways to use food scraps. Throughout the episode, Anne-Marie maintains that living more sustainably should be enjoyable rather than burdensome, noting that it leads to a lighter, more satisfying lifestyle with better food choices and less clutter. Key Takeaways Food waste in landfills produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas; composting is a better alternative Only about 5% of plastic is recycled in the US; reducing plastic use is more effective than recycling Simple changes like using reusable bags, buying in bulk, and cooking from scratch can significantly reduce waste Adopting a low-waste lifestyle can improve health, save money, and be a more satisfying way to live Social Media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZeroWasteChef Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zerowastechef Threads: https://www.threads.net/@zerowastechef newsletter: https://zerowastechef.substack.com/ About Jeff Jeff Ikler is the Director of Quetico Leadership and Career Coaching . “Quetico” (KWEH-teh-co).

Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneGuest Canadian author Patti Shales Lefkos celebrated her creative nonfiction debut with Nepal One Day at a Time , an adventure travel memoir with a humanitarian twist. Her second book, Grounded by Granite, highlights her childhood on a remote island in a pristine lake in the Canadian Shield. In 2023, at the age of 77, Patti and her husband, Barry Hodgins, completed a 500-mile trek on Nepal’s Great Himalayan Trail. Summary This podcast episode features an interview with Patti Shales Lefkos, author of Nepal One Day at a Time. Patti discusses her solo trek through Nepal at age 67, which she undertook to prove her independence and capabilities. She shares insights about her experiences volunteering in remote Nepali villages, observing the impacts of Western influence, and navigating challenging situations like crawling through a dark cave monastery. Key takeaways: Stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to personal growth and increased self-confidence, regardless of age. Responsible tourism and cultural sensitivity are crucial when visiting remote areas, including asking permission before taking photos and being mindful of one's impact. Small acts of volunteerism and fundraising can make a significant difference in improving education and living conditions in underprivileged communities. The conversation also touches on the changes in Nepal due to tourism, the importance of respecting local cultures, and Patty's continued involvement in supporting education initiatives in the region. The episode concludes with a discussion of the value of pursuing new experiences and staying active as one ages.

Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneGuest Dr. Oleg Konovalov is named among the top eight global experts in leadership and shortlisted for the Distinguished Award in Leadership by Thinkers50. He is the #1 Global Leading Coach named one of the Global 100 Inspirational Leaders 2022, along with Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Oprah Winfrey. Having been named ‘the da Vinci of Visionary Leadership’ by many leading authorities of our time, Oleg is considered #1 in the world in the field of vision and visionary leadership. He is the author of The Fisherman’s Path to Leadership, The Vision Code, Leaderology, and other books. My co-host, Rich Gassen, works as a print shop supervisor at UW-Madison, where he focuses on empowerment, creativity, and process improvements with staff. He also chairs the Campus Supervisors Network (CSN), a community of practice at the UW supporting supervisors in their roles by offering training and networking events, a weekly newsletter, and a website. Rich is an avid reader, sharer, and practitioner of leadership. Summary Oleg Konovalov, an expert in vision leadership, shares his insights on cultivating curiosity and leadership. He distinguishes between two types of curiosity: "curiosity to know" and "curiosity to explore." The latter is more valuable, as it allows leaders to go beyond surface-level information and develop practical solutions to complex problems. Oleg emphasizes the importance of vision, which he sees as a space in the future defined by the value we create for people, rather than just lofty goals or wishes. He stresses that true leaders must be able to read "weak signals" and explore their own limits to better serve their people. Oleg also discusses the role of peace, connectedness, and love in effective leadership, arguing that leaders must be at peace with themselves and their people to unlock their full potential. Overall, Oleg's perspective highlights the need for leaders to move beyond ego-driven strategies and cultivate a heart-centered, exploratory approach to guiding their organizations into the future. Three Major Ideas: The need to distinguish between "curiosity to know" and "curiosity to explore" The importance of vision as a space in the future defined by value creation, not just goals The role of peace, connectedness, and love in effective leadership Oleg uses an extended analogy between fishing and leadership throughout the conversation. Here are the key elements of the fishing analogy that Oleg draws: Reading Weak Signals: Oleg compares effective leadership to fishing, where leaders need to be skilled at reading "weak signals" - the subtle cues and indicators that aren't immediately obvious, similar to how a skilled fisherman can detect the presence of fish in the water even when they can't be directly seen. Adaptability and Handling Changing Conditions: Just as a fisherman must constantly adapt their techniques and lures based on changing weather, water conditions, and fish behavior, Oleg says effective leaders must be able to nimbly adapt to fast-changing realities and challenges. The Journey, Not the Destination: Oleg likens leadership to a journey or "path" rather than reaching a final "finish line" or destination. Like fishing is an ongoing activity without a clear endpoint, Oleg emphasizes that leadership is a continuous process of growth, exploration and adapting to new circumstances. Revealing Greatness: Oleg states that the role of a leader is to "reveal the greatness" in their people, similar to how a skilled fisherman can bring out the full potential of the fish they are trying to catch.

Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneGuest Gail Harris is a Certified ghostwriter specializing in women’s memoirs. She is an IPNE (Independent Publishers of New England) Book Award Finalist for the memoir FINDING ZOE. She collaborates with authors who have risen above life’s challenges and have a journey to share. Gail values the cathartic nature of storytelling in that our reflections and takeaways are life-changing, both for the author and those who read her book. She experiences first-hand how an author’s personal story of healing is universal—that what sets us apart pales against what brings us together. Gail inspires women to write their memoirs to heal, leverage their businesses, and fulfill their unique calling of self-expression. She founded Golden Ghostwriting and is the author of the self-help book YOUR HEART KNOWS THE ANSWER: How to Trust Yourself and Make the Choices That are Right For You. Summary Gail Harris explains her role as helping women authors share their personal narratives, emphasizing their vulnerability and the healing aspects of the process. Gail believes that storytelling has the power to foster connection, shared humanity, and personal growth. Her ghostwriting approach involves in-depth interviews, identifying unique story elements, and collaborative manuscript development. Gail recounts a project where she interviewed multiple individuals to capture a comprehensive narrative, highlighting the importance of diverse perspectives. The conversation also touches on the impact of uncovering personal and family histories, as exemplified by Jeff's experience of learning new details about his mother's past. Throughout the discussion, Gail underscores the transformative potential of sharing personal stories for both authors and readers, promoting self-love and deeper understanding. Three critical lessons: Staying present in the moment can help reduce worry and maintain composure. Sharing personal stories can be a powerful tool for healing and fostering connections. Considering multiple perspectives enriches storytelling and provides valuable context.
