When I first embarked on reinventing myself, I didn’t have many stories, insights, and lessons from the journey to reinvention. I often felt alone or like the crazy one that lost his way. However, that doesn’t have to be the case for you. Reinvention is challenging enough on its own, we don’t need to feel alone or like we have lost our way. This blog will help you learn from my experiences and those I have had the opportunity to learn from. This is the blog I wish I would have been able to follow and read when I first embarked on the journey to reinvention.
Journey versus Destination

For instance, students have to take a certain number of sciences to graduate college – but which ones do they choose? Students have spots for electives – but again, which do they choose? During […]
Adding Value to the Learning Experience
Over the last few days, I have had several discussions about the use of technology in education. Every time I discuss it, I form my argument around one central question, how can technology enhance the learning experience? I think it is important to look at it this way versus how technology might make the delivery […]
Multi-Tasking and Distractions
Read a great article about multi-tasking…which follows up an interesting neuroscience book I recently read that covered the topic as well. Studies and research show that the human brain is simply not wired for effective and efficient multi-tasking. The recent article I read in Psychology Today suggests it’s really better labeled task-switching. However, there are things […]
Math – The Key to Unlocking Limitless Potential
In this blog post I briefly discuss why math is so important to me and how it makes a difference in my life. Thanks to a couple of influential teachers and a lot of hard work, today I am able to enjoy the benefits of better logic and reasoning skills.
