Learning Nugget - Action-Orientation, Education, and Work-Life Integration with Stephanie Dua
This week's Learning Nugget comes from an episode with Stephanie Dua.
It's all about developing a bias toward action, nurturing latent passions for learning, and creating professional environments for humans to thrive.
Stephanie is the Co-Founder and President of Begin, an early-learning company with products like HOMER, the only learning program proven to increase reading scores with just 15 minutes a day.
Beyond her expertise in learning, education, and entrepreneurship, she has an extensive background in public service:
- Former CEO of NYC Dept. of Education's fund for public schools
- Worked in various non-profit roles with the Carnegie Corporation, Robin Hood Foundation
- Senior advisor to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
She’s also a wife and a mother. So much of our conversation (and her inspiration for HOMER) draws on Stephanie’s career experiences, her upbringing, and her everyday life.
Tune in to learn about:
- Stephanie's decision-making confidence and how to hone your own.
- How to use headwinds and obstacles as inspiration.
- Effective time management and the unsustainability of sprinting.
- The qualities of a successful public servant
- Integrating "work" and "life," not "balancing."
Sit back, relax, and enjoy this Learning Nugget episode with Stephanie Dua!
