What is to come for a child who is told he is garbage? Worthless? Beaten to the ground? I have often said that children who have the love, kindness and acceptance of an adult—or several adults—can be the difference. As you might remember me saying, Search Institute found that many young people don't feel that they have at least 3 key adults to turn to in a time of need and challenge. Our next guest had a very hard start to his life—abused by his father and watching his mother and siblings meet that same fate. He survived the streets of Kampala Uganda and, due to the potential that someone saw in him- wound up going to school and altering his life for the better in every possible way. My next guest will help us to understand how to talk to kids about acceptance and true self-worth. He has a remarkable story.

“When we pursue excellence it doesn't have to come at the cost of our emotional and relational health.” (Ben Houltberg) How do we form an identity and sense of self? Do we define ourselves based on the fragile glass shelter of what we achieve or how well we perform? If so, how does that affect our sense of meaning and purpose in life? With the 2024 Paris Olympics underway, it's easy to imagine how an elite athlete at the top of her game might form an identity based on her athletic or competitive performance. In this episode, Mark Labberton welcomes developmental scientist Ben Houltberg to reflect on the pursuit of achievement and excellence, exploring what's at stake for our psychological and spiritual health when we find our identity and life's meaning in our performance. Together they discuss: the glass shelter of athletic achievement and the opportunity that emerges when it inevitably shatters; the various performance contexts of family, relationships, education, sports, career, and religion; the dangers of conditional acceptance based on performance; the performance-enhancing impact of healthy coaching and mentoring relationships; the transformative effects of unconditional love; and ultimately, how to be free from a performance-based identity. About Ben Houltberg Benjamin Houltberg is a developmental scientist, experienced marriage and family therapist, and president and CEO of Search Institute. He is associate research professor at the University of Southern California, and was previously associate professor of human development at Fuller Theological Seminary's School of Psychology. Follow him @benhoultberg, and learn more about Search Institute online. Show Notes About Ben Houltberg: developmental scientist, licensed marriage and family therapist, and CEO of Search Institute About “performance-based identity” Olympics and athletic performance-based identity “When we pursue excellence it doesn't have to come at the cost of our emotional and relational health.” “What is my purpose?” Olympic athlete Simone Biles' public breakdown and dominant return to gymnastics “If you think about the natural trajectory of an elite athlete, it is towards a performance-based identity.” How elite athletes form their identity in their athletic performance. “A Glass Shelter” of athletic achievement: what happens when that glass shelter breaks? When the glass shelter breaks, it becomes a transformative opportunity. “Whether it was youth sports and training for a marathon, or whether it was in elite athletes or whether it was in different large organizations and their staff employees … the profile emerges that it is in some ways a human condition: that performance-based identity can really trap us into an approach to life and an approach to relationships and approach to competition that is undermining us and will eventually lead to a shattered sense of self.” Actor vs performer in the world (Action vs. Performance) Influenced by what other people think we are How to understand “performance context” across domains of sports, education, career, relationships, family, morality, and society at large The dangers of limiting our identities to performance Conditional acceptance based on performance Human relationships, connectivity, and collectivism as performance enhancing Coaching and mentoring to deal with the stress of performing NCAA sports Helping young people find “the spark”—their passion and potential and purpose How the Search Institute studies performance-based identity Christian faith and unconditional love How to be free from a performance-based identity Finding our identity in beauty, connection, and commonality Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.

In This Episode:Mike introduces Tyler to one of his favorite people as Nick Webb joins the Richest Men In Town family. Nick is a guy that has dedicated his life to building community one relationship at a time. He believes that finding and building relationships always lead to positive things. By following the examples of strong models like his grandmother, he has dedicated himself to giving back to make things better for other people, especially teenagers and young adults. Six years ago, Nick learned the truth that having kids changes everything, and he lets the guys in on what his twin "million dollar" boys mean to him and his wife Abby.  His dad adventure started with a couple of months in the NICU and, looking back, he wouldn't have it any other way. Being a husband and a father has helped Nick redefine what life is really all about and this perspective gives him the power to be a man of influence to everyone around him. Nick Webb, thank you for the way you are living every day and for the way that you showed up to tell your story. Keep going, brother. Listeners, grab a pen and a pad and tune in to Nick's story. Let's all do something with this one!Show NotesWho Said It..."One day you will wake up and there won't be any more time to do the thing that you have always wanted.

Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it.”  -Viktor Frankl"Nobody is born with a style or a voice.

In the Lessons in Adolescence podcast we feature conversations with researchers, practitioners, program developers and advocates. Drawing content from our past two seasons of episodes, we are offering a series of Mini Lessons on important topics relating to positive early adolescent development and effective middle level education. This mini lesson is about Relationships.Relationships are undoubtedly a vital part of any student's growth. But how do we begin building these relationships, or rather, what should they look like? We spoke to researchers in the academic field along with students involved in mentoring programs to determine how to best combine knowledge and practice — aiming to produce the best results for middle school students.Featuring excerpts with Dr. Kent Pekel, former CEO of Search Institute from episode 6, Dr. Elizabeth Santiago, the former Chief Program Officer of MENTOR from episode 7, and Kiana Dixon and Janikaa Jackson, students at Brooklyn College and consultants with the Center for Supportive Schools from episode 15.

In the first episode of season two of Rooted in Relationships, Search Institute CEO Ben Houltberg introduces Kent Pekel, education leader and former CEO of Search Institute. Season two of the Rooted in Relationships podcast will feature interviews conducted by Kent with a focus on how social capital – family, class, culture and other factors – influence relationship-building. In this episode, Kent talks with Richard Reeves, a senior fellow in economic studies with the Brookings Institute and director of the Future of the Middle Class Initiative. His research is focused on social mobility, inequality and the middle class.

The CDC reports that drug overdose deaths in the United States were four times more common in 2018 than they were just twenty years earlier. The CDC also reports that drug overdose deaths increased by thirty percent during the pandemic. While there are many reasons a person turns to drugs and alcohol, one strategy we can employ to counter substance abuse and addiction is to encourage our kids involvement with a peer group that doesn't support drug and alcohol use. Substance abuse is strongly related to what a person's friends do. When it's always in your face, the temptation is huge. The Search Institute has concluded that parents can undermine the negative influence of friends both by steering kids away from certain associations, and toward other relationships where the influence is known to be positive. Parents, this is simple common sense. Positive relationships include a church youth group, and connections with older mentors in your church.

Today is a special episode for Search Institute as we talk with Dr. Peter Samuelson and Karen Kingsley about their amazing work with opportunity youth right here in Minnesota, where Search Institute is based. In this episode, we talk about the importance of shifting the narrative from a deficit-based approach to a strength-based approach that sees the potential in young people that are disconnected from the system, such as those who have dropped out of college, are unemployed, in foster care or are disconnected from societal support in some way. . We hear incredible stories of resilience and transformation from a program that focuses on gratitude, generosity and hope.

Purpose is multifaceted. We experience it in different areas of our lives. Many different factors come together to move us into it. How do they come together?Ben Houltberg has done a lot of things that gives him insight into life purpose. He has been an elite track athlete, a marriage and family therapist, a developmental psychologist, and now the CEO of the Search Institute ("Helping Young People Thrive.") His professional life has been devoted to helping people live their best lives. In this episode, he shares lessons that he's learned along the way for living more purposefully.In this episode, you'll learn about:How fear robs us of purposePurpose being what holds our life narratives togetherA simple definition of purposeHow relationships foster purposeHow painful events can lead us to greater purposeBen's linksLinkedInSearch Institute***Want to connect?

This episode features a conversation with Dr. Kent Pekel, CEO of Search Institute, a Minneapolis-based nonprofit research organization focused on studying the factors that drive youth success. Under Kent’s leadership, Search Institute has engaged in a singular focus on relationships, which he and the organization see as the foundational ingredient in the learning and development of young people.Kent and Jason talk about how Search Institute conducts its research, working in partnership with youth organizations in schools and communities to learn while also making an impact, the five core elements of relationship-building derived from this research that structures Search Institute’s Developmental Relationships framework, and the types of approaches and practical activities that educators, youth workers and parents and families can use to intentionally develop and foster positive relationships.Additional Readings and Resources· Search Institute· Search Institute’s Developmental Relationships Framework· “Relationships First: Creating Connections that Help Young People Thrive,” Search Institute, 2017.· The 4 S’s Interview· “The Intersection of Developmental Relationships, Equitable Environments, and SEL” [Insights & Evidence Series], Search Institute, 2020.· Developmental Assets Framework· “Developmental Assets among U.S. Youth: 2018 Update,” Search Institute, 2018.· Keep Connected, a Family Engagement Program by Search Institute

Dr. Benjamin Houltberg, VP of Research and Practice at Search Institute, is Laura’s very special guest on today’s episode. Ben is a developmental scientist, and an experienced licensed marriage and family therapist, as well as a former elite athlete. He is widely published in topics such as the socialization of adolescent emotion regulation, promoting resilience through adversity, character, and identity development in sports. As you will discover, he is also well versed in the practice of Mindfulness, and he is here to share his vast amount of experience, knowledge, and advice with you today.   Ben begins by sharing his journey from his first interest in sports and his running career, through to his current position, and then offers a thorough analysis of both performance based and purpose based identity, as well as the continuum between them. From this analysis, he expands upon performing out of fear and coping with it, mental health, his perspective on overcoming the challenges that this past year has provided, and the importance of gratitude and positive emotions. While examining the foundation for dealing with adversity, Ben explains the concept of Mindfulness, and actually leads Laura and our listeners through an exercise. He finishes the conversation discussing virtue development and high performance and sharing his advice for young athletes. Ben’s overriding belief that we are all of value, not because of our performance, but because of who we are, is evident throughout this inspiring episode. His is an impactful and important message for absolutely everyone to hear and to heed. Episode Highlights:   Ben’s journey from his start in sports to his current position Performance based identity, purpose based identity and the continuum between the two The impact of ‘performing out of fear’ and recognizing when you are struggling with it Steps to follow for coping with the fear Emotional regulation and co-regulation Mental health in the world of sport and society in general Michael Phelps’ ‘Weight of Gold’ documentary Ben’s observations and guidance regarding 2020 and moving forward from it The importance of feeling gratitude and expressing it to others The impact of positive and negative emotions 3 foundational aspects to preparing for adversity Mindfulness and its importance A mindfulness activity Virtue development and high performance A study regarding the impact of negative emotions and connection Ben’s advice to young athletes Quotes:   “My same exhilaration for sports began to transfer over to my desire to want to understand how the mind works and how relationships work.”   “In the process of trying to study this, I experienced my own kind of healing in some of the wounds that I experienced as an athlete.”   “When results start to get wrapped up as the main definer of your self-worth, then it has devastating consequences.”   “I really firmly believe that there’s a lot of athletes who ‘choke’ or ‘bonk’, or whatever you want to call it, that really comes from an overstimulated sympathetic nervous system.”   “Often, our body responds even before we are able to process it cognitively.”   “Our external lives and relationships and stressors all can have positive or negative consequences physiologically on us.”   “We deal with stress and pain better when we have a purpose that’s bigger than ourselves.”   “These athletes that have this more purpose based identity, they achieve at really high levels as well, but they don’t have the consequences of high levels of depression or anxiety or shame.”   “Throughout history and throughout research, we just do better when we’re connected to others and we have this connection to some type of transcendent purpose.”   “What do I value? What is most important to me?”   “Relationships are so powerful for our emotional health.”   “How can I serve the people around me right now?”   “The foundation of the self becomes really important…the mindset skills are also really important.”   “Invest in your relationships – in healthy ones.”   “Being mindful in your day-to-day is really just…a non-judgmental awareness of being in the present moment.”   “For me, breath also represents a connection to God or even for some people to everybody around them, the source of life.”   “You are valued. You are loved. You are known. You are free. And your worth does not depend on your performance. And you have something to offer this world that nobody else can take away…there’s a purpose in what you can contribute to those around you.”   “When we do have that solid foundation, we are able to also give our best, and I think that’s where virtue development and high performance come together.” Links: The Pursuit of Gold homepage:   http://thepursuitofgold.com/  Mental Training:   https://www.laurawilkinson.com/learn  Laura’s Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lala_the_diver   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheLauraWilkinson     Connect with Ben:   Search Institute:   https://www.search-institute.org/  Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/drbenhoultberg/ Twitter:   https://twitter.com/benhoultberg

This episode features a lively discussion with Drs. Amy Syversten and Cecilia Saddler, who share findings from key new research into developmental relationships and discuss their work to apply those insights into the work of teachers and others who can take relationship-centered approaches to supporting youth of all ages.

In this episode of the Big Picture Social Emotional Learning Podcast we’re going to learn about the life-altering impact we can enjoy by developing Developmental Relationships. This conversation was with Kent Pekel, the President and CEO of Search Institute, an internationally recognized, not-for-profit organization that, for over 70 years, has been successfully accomplishing something that, unfortunately, is quite uncommon: bringing together research and practice, which Kent refers to as APPLIED RESEARCH. Research that is proven to support young people to BE their best selves and to continuing growing as their best selves. Of course, that’s what we’re all committed to achieving with the kids and students in our lives, which is why I was certain you’d appreciate learning about a resource that can support you in your efforts. You can download a PDF copy of the Developmental Relationships Framework (In either English or Spanish), and you can learn more about how to support the relationship-building efforts of your school, your after school, and even your own home life at the website: www.search-institute.org You’ll find a wealth of tools and resources there… many of them FREE. As always, I love and appreciate your comments, and I greatly appreciate it when you take the time to rate this podcast and give a quick review.

Gwyn Wansbrough is the Executive Director of Partners for Youth Empowerment who work to bring more arts and creativity into all kinds of educational settings. Here, we talk about her work, her personal journey, and a range of inspiring organisations and approaches.If the conversation inspires you to bring some more creativity into your own education work, PYE runs excellent facilitator trainings, partners with schools to make classrooms more creative and shares a range of free training resources online. As it is a specific favourite of both Gwyn and me, we discuss Theatre of the Oppressed in the conversation - if you are keen to learn more and use that in your work, Augusto Boal's book Games for Actors and Non-Actors is a fantastic resource. Other organisations that Gwyn recommended people interested in this space should check out include UWC, the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, the Greater Good Center at Berkely, the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), and the Search Institute. Gwyn also referred to Youtube videos documenting PYE's Creative Classrooms work - here they are: Video 1 and Video 2.As always, if you have any comments or questions, I'd be happy to hear from you.

For decades, Search Institute has studied assets that are most important for helping children and teens grow up well. In their study of the parent and child relationship, they examine the importance of five key strategies in developmental relationships in the family: 1) express care; 2) challenge to grow; 3) provide support; 4) share power; and 5) expand possibilities.   Tune into this week’s Mom Enough show to hear Gene Roehlkepartain discuss how these strategies benefit children, which are most often missing in the families Search studied, and what you can do to apply these important findings for your child’s lifelong success.   What was surprising to you about the findings from this Search Institute study? Why do you think so many families have trouble sharing power? What practical ideas did you take away from this Mom Enough discussion of the parent and child relationship?   To read the report and other material from the study, click here.
