Great content on elevated soft skills that are so important in all facets of life. 

When you can, allowing students and workers autonomy is such a crucial method. Letting them take ownership is beyond valuable to them building skills and confidence. 

Great reminders on how to handle things, give people grace, and not take things personally. 

It is important to really focus your day on fun items as well. Remember to take care of your mind and body and so much will fall into place. 

Really reviewing and updating assignments to ensure that they offer empowerment is an excellent idea. While it is good to have tried and true content, revamps need to happen as well. 

I have routinely promoted student assistance in my class and reading through that section makes me want to find even more ways to fold that in. Students have some amazing backgrounds and experiences and having them share that helps everyone in the course. 

A lot of the content of this lesson really focus's on how to help the adult learner find success and motivation to keep pursuing education. It is so vital to ensure that they have greater control of their learning and that instructors need to be flexible as they go through the course and not be afraid to pivot if they need to for better results. 

I am a big proponent of students taking ownership of their learning. This lesson brought in some get ideas to mindfully add in things to ensure that is done. 

This section is a great step by step guide into the cycle of problem solving steps.  I really enjoyed the last part about the continuum of the two different types of problem solvers and the need to be in the middle. 

The reflective thinking story about Dave Thomas was a great example. Sitting back and just reflecting is to crucial in critical thinking.
