Kids Deserve It by Todd Nesloney and Adam Welcome Chapter 18: Never Stop narrated by Adam Welcome Things to Consider and Tweet: What’s a strategy you use to keep going when you want to quit? Joelle: Try reframing the hard year(s) as years of learning. Not every year is this difficult. Ashley: Remember that tomorrow always comes. Sometimes we just need it to be bedtime. Erin: Go ahead and look for other jobs. Looking doesn’t mean you have to apply.

Students need real leadership opportunities - not just running a note to the office or other tasks that may be called "leadership" but really aren't. Adam Welcome, co-author of Empower our Girls: Opening the Door for Girls to Achieve More www.coolcatteacher.com/e544 After listening to today’s show, I think you will take one of two challenges: 1 - Give students a genuine way to lead in your classroom.  2 - Have a conversation with a colleague about student leadership and how your school is nurturing it and what you can do to improve student leadership opportunities.

For complete show notes, please visit https://thegogirlblog.com/ Adam Welcome is an author and accomplished runner from California who I first met via Instagram. I began following him after reading his first book, Kids Deserve It, and saw that he was a runner.  In 2017, he decided to do one marathon per month and that led him on an incredible journey.  Not only did he accomplish his goal of doing 12 marathons in a year, he also wrote a book about it called Run Like a Pirate.  Adam's journey to his goal included a 24 hour race where he knocked out over 100 miles. In this episode, we talk about his experience of doing one marathon per month for a whole year, what it is like to write a book and have it published, the excuses we make and how we can change our mindset to overcome them, how to mentally recover if a race doesn't go as planned, and what advice he has for those who may not have the best support system when it comes to running.  Adam has so much wisdom to share and even though this is a shorter episode than usual, it is jam packed with some serious truth bombs.  Enjoy this conversation with Adam Welcome!  Mentioned in this episode:  Kids Deserve It Run Like a Pirate Marathonguide.com New York City Marathon Boston Marathon Sally McRae Strava   Follow Adam: Blog Instagram Twitter Strava   Follow Kelsey: Blog Instagram Twitter Facebook Facebook Group   If you are loving the show, please leave a 5 star review on iTunes/Apple Podcasts.
