Attunement & Embracing Criticism | Episode #34 - Connie Jakab

Connie Jakab is a speaker, author, and the CEO of Jakab Co. Connie has written multiple books, including Culture Rebel and Bring Them Closer both in a parent and teachers edition. Her work mainly revolves around coaching others to engage with their true path, as well as managing trauma within ourselves and in the classroom. On part two of our conversation, Connie and I discuss the teacher saviour complex and how not every teacher is meant to impact each student in the same way, looking for the unexpected signs of being in flight mode, separating yourself from negative student interactions, learning to attune and that thoughts are just thoughts, dealing with unwarranted criticism, her experience getting roasted by an eight grader, what it means to be regulated and how being regulated does not mean being perfect, big T versus little t trauma, the unintended consequences of the wellness movement, the main problems she often hears from educators, the connection between place and experience and the function of redesigning your living spaces, and, much more.
