Wired for Progress, with Ken Coleman | (Career, Education, Mindset, AI)

"America's Career Coach" and author Ken Coleman discusses parenting, curiosity, and the evolving workplace in the age of AI, emphasizing the value of human connection, soft skills, and relationships, and reflecting on challenges facing younger generations—especially diminished curiosity and difficulty asking good questions—while advocating for major reforms to the U.S. education system to focus more on critical thinking, creativity, experiential learning, and reduced standardized testing. Coleman also explores the importance of overcoming limiting personal narratives, building self‑awareness, and embracing mitigated risk in career development, and shares insights on coaching, the role of technology in gathering data, his own personal growth and reading habits, and the lifelong tension between progress, patience, and controlling what one can control.Mentioned in this episode:Learn more at SouthwesternConsulting.com/Coaching/StudentsSouthwestern Student CoachingEmpowering Parents; Transforming Families.
