Episode 5: Accountability: Where has it gone and how do we bring it back? Part 3

Everyday another story of disrespect and abuse hits the news.  Abuse within families, abuse at the office and abuse within sport…there is no area of life that is left untouched. We know this behavior is wrong so why does it happen? What makes people behave this way? In this episode, retired educator and leadership expert, George Zeigner and I continue where Part 1 left off. We further explore the thought that abusers are made, not born and delve into how one’s childhood shapes future behavior.What are young people being exposed to? What are they being taught about respect for others? What type of behavior are they normalizing and celebrating? George Zeigner is a retired educator and leadership expert who spent 43 years in the education business in a variety of teaching, coaching, administration and leadership roles. During his tenure, George had the privilege of working with approximately 15, 000 students, parents, teachersand administrators. George specializes in teaching others how to build relationships and develop leadership expertise, but not just in the work world…in your personal lives too. George is co-author of the book The Parent Mentor: Recipes for Learning and holds an MA in Curriculum and Leadership Highlights: If a child grows up in an abusive household, will they grow up to be abusive too? Is the love and care of one parent enough to counteract the abuse of the other parent? Practical actions parents can take in effort to instill value of treating others with respect. Why do some people naturally gravitate to doing the right thing while many don’t? How “What kind of man are you?” “Boys will be boys” mentalities develop and how they can change. What does accountability really mean? Real life examples from parenting, teaching, coaching and work The one thing George says we have poorly and what needs to change.  Please leave a rating and review if you enjoy my podcast!Follow me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Linkedin. Submit topic suggestions or listener stories on my website http://www.trishguise.com/ FOLLOW Twitter       https://twitter.com/TrishGuiseLinkedIn    https://www.linkedin.com/in/trish-guise-b01756204/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/trishguisedivorcecoachFacebook  https://www.facebook.com/TrishGuiseDivorceCoachWebsite    http://www.trishguise.com/Publications, books, videos, panel discussions  https://linktr.ee/trishguise
