AHHHHH. Happy Friday!
A new Friday Thoughts to share some inspiration as we enter the weekend.
Friday Thoughts aims to:
-
AMPLIFY: Take aways from posts and podcasts… what inspires?
-
BUILD connections: Tools, resources and community…what can you use?
-
CONNECT & COMMIT: People, places, ideas…what resonates?
In this issue:

Stop sign: Where did you go on vacation?
-
Doorknob: How did you decide where to go on vacation?
The first question will more likely than not lead to a conversation stop when the person responds with a location. Follow up like, “How was it?” requires heavy lifting to answer. A doorknob will more likely than not lead to a story. Every story offers new opportunities for us, as listeners, to attach to a point and further the connection and discourse.

🧠Inspirational People from the Profile by Polina
Instead of a featured person, this post offers a resource where people are featured.
The creator of a fabulous blog and podcast, both called the Profile, Polina Pompliano, tells stories of inspiring, interesting, and story filled people.
Some favorites— one with James Clear and one with Brandon Stanton are models of what People Based Learning is all about > personal stories that inspire durable learning.
If you have not already found and Profile, is a blog and podcast you can get lost in easily. LOVE.
