Belonging is vital if our kids are to learn. They need to feel understood and safe, and that often starts with teachers. But teachers have a lot on their plates already, and new legislation has them fearful that they'll do or say something that might jeopardize their jobs.   While this podcast episode doesn't solve this challenge, it spotlights the need for more conversations around creating spaces for youth who don't want to fit in a box that society created for them.   Patti Hearn is a school and educational leader in the Pacific Northwest who started a school for girls and gender non-conforming kids so they would have the opportunity to “become competent risk takers and courageous mistake makers.” In this episode, we talk about why parents and leaders might want to build their own school, why it's so important that we listen to our youth, how to honor student rights, how the legal landscape is impacting our ability to serve all learners, and so much more.   Patti has been there and done that and she's now using her knowledge to support other parents and educators in ensuring that more kids have access to the space and education they deserve. About Patti Hearn: Patti Hearn is passionate about education and believes in working to help individuals, families, and schools forge authentic paths. Patti was the Founding Head of Lake Washington Girls Middle School in Seattle, where, for over two decades, she offered girls and gender non-conforming kids the opportunity to become competent risk takers and courageous mistake makers.  She then brought her knowledge and passion for innovative middle school programs to lead Seattle School for Boys, and she launched Verge Consulting to provide consultation and coaching to educators, school leaders, and founders of new schools, as well as school placement support for families.   Patti shares her thinking and work in feminist, anti-racist, and LGBTQ+ inclusive education, social-emotional learning, startup culture in education, creative confidence, STEAM, executive functioning, and inclusive leadership. Her conference presentations include the National Association of Independent Schools, the International Coalition of Girls' Schools, the Seattle Interactive Conference, the Teaching and Education Summit, and the Northwest Association of Independent Schools.   https://www.linkedin.com/in/patriciahearn/ https://twitter.com/patti_hearn Jump in the Conversation: [1:33] - Where Patti's school transformation began [2:55] - Helping students to become competent risk takers and courageous mistake makers [5:25] - Why you might want to build a startup school [7:17] - How to make a change [8:19] - Youth speaking up about gender noncoforming; we need to address that [9:40] - All kids have value; it's about loving the individual not about the labels [10:26] - how the legal landscape is impacting our ability to serve all learners fully [11:56] - All kids benefit from inclusion [12:45] - Teachers aren't clear enough about they can and can't say and they fear for their livelihoods [14:32] - It's life-saving to have a caring adult at school  [18:27] - How to honor student rights and be an advocate [20:30] - Turbo Time [22:39] - What people need to know about serving LGTBQ+ kids  [25:48] - Patti's Magic Wand [20:02] - Maureen's takeaways   Links & Resources Verge Consulting Connect with Patti on LinkedIn Episode 120: How Legal Decisions Impact Our Schools with Karen Kalzer Unprotected: A Menoir by Billy Porter Every Kid Needs a Champion - TED Talk by Rita Pierson We Need to Talk About an Injustice - TED Talk by Bryan Stevenson Email Maureen Maureen's TEDx: Changing My Mind to Change Our Schools The Education Evolution Facebook: Follow Education Evolution Twitter: Follow Education Evolution LinkedIn: Follow Education Evolution EdActive Collective Maureen's book: Creating Micro-Schools for Colorful Mismatched Kids Micro-school feature on Good Morning America The Micro-School Coalition Facebook: The Micro-School Coalition LEADPrep

90% of women have an idea but only 10% do something about it, and only 4% of patent applications are filed by women. As the adage goes, necessity is the mother of all invention. But, how does a great idea go from that to market, to a success. Hilary Meyerson and Mina Yoo teamed up together to build the roadmap to demystify the process of taking inventions to market and beyond. Their book “Be an InventHer: An Everywoman's Guide to Creating the Next Big Thing” combines straightforward advice, encouragement and success stories of other female inventors with the underlying message to give it a shot. Joleen had the opportunity to interview them live at the Seattle Interactive Conference to learn how this dynamic duo plans to help new inventors get to market.

Somebody messed up and let us tape our podcast live. So we on-ramp an audience to CP starting with impeachment (while cursing a lot), touching on our upcoming trips to Kentucky and Virginia (this month!), and highlighting Republican Senators who are at risk in 2020 (yes!). After that light stuff, we give them the a heavy dose of reality as we address the recent police shootings, and how we all can do our part. Also, there may have been some peach mints passed around...

Enjoy this presentation from the Seattle Interactive Conference in 2016 where Kevin Getch dives deep into creating a customer-centric digital strategy.

A short while ago I had the great pleasure of taking the stage at the Seattle Interactive Conference with my dear friend and creative superstar Cal McAllister (Founder, Wexley School for Girls + Paper Crane Factory) for a very pointed conversation on inspiration, unlocking your best creative work, and how the eff to stand out in today’s noisy, crowded market. Hint: it’s not what you think.   IMHO this conversation oozes with value specifically because both Cal and I are: a) lifelong professional creators who care deeply about making this easier for people who want to be more creative; b) we both took very non-traditional paths to find our respective successes - so that path YOU’RE on won’t seem all that strange; and c) are both are transparent AF about exactly how we’d approach it today if we were doing it all over again… Oh, and the audience / Q&A is always a favorite of mine at any public appearance because so often we’re all struggling with the same things.   A sample of other topics we cover….  Why “the middle” (aka where everybody ends up gravitating because they listen to “advice” and “best practices”) is the WORST place you can be to make your way in any creative industry. Why the best stuff happens on the fringe- and how you can tap into that fringe. Why "creative cockroach” is a term of endearment. Like the cockroach, simply outlasting the quitters — stamina and persistence -- is key to success. I don’t know anyone who has been successful over a sustained amount of time that didn’t have stamina. How to charge and get paid what you're worth.  Free or full price, not some arbitrary amount that the client offers you and finally… audience Q & A that we alllll can relate to ;) Enjoy!

Overcoming adversity is nothing new to Steven Matly. A high school dropout turned entrepreneur, he has twice created six figure revenue generating companies with less than $5,000 startup capital. Raised by a single mother in the South Seattle housing projects, Steven entered the workforce at age fifteen and quickly recognized the limited resources, mentors, and role models available to families like his in the area. In the years that followed Steven worked for both small companies and large corporations in a number of different roles. In 2014, Steven launched SM Diversity, a boutique hiring agency committed to helping businesses create a more diverse and inclusive workforce. By connecting them with community based organizations, subject matter experts, and experienced recruiters, his clients are able to leverage a broader network of diverse talent, ultimately resulting in an expanded marketplace. Steven has become one of the up and coming thought leaders in the area of diversity and inclusion employment practices. He was recently featured in the Seattle Times October 2016 issue around “Untapped Talent” and was selected to be a speaker for TED TALKS at University of Washington in May 2017 as it relates to organizational behavior and Inclusive Leadership. He has conducted ground breaking workshops such as their HACK Diversity & Inclusion Program to serving on panels alongside organizations such as SHRM, Tech Inclusion, Seattle Interactive Conference, Chase Startup Week, WTIA, Uber, F5, Boeing, Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Bank Of America, Amazon, Zillow, Expedia, Wells Fargo, Slalom, Progressive, Seattle Police Department, Starbucks, BECU, Comcast, IBM, and other Fortune companies. In his quest for continued education, Steven successfully completed his Cornell University's online Strategic Human Resource Leadership program focusing on diversity & inclusion in the workplace.
