Current & Critical - Steve Mesler, Building a World Class Non-for-Profit that Changes Lives (right here in YYC)

In this episode, you’ll learn that education and hurling yourself down a mountainside are much more common than you might think. Steve Mesler, CEO of Classroom Champions and three-time American Olympian, joins us to share his experience with both fields and how they intersect. You’ll learn about goal-setting, social and emotional intelligence, and resilience from an athlete's perspective - as well as some valuable lessons that can be applied to the classroom.

Show Notes

For businesses to succeed and thrive, they need top talent. Our education system is supposed to provide the skills needed for the next generation to be successful, but according to Steve, that system isn’t working quite as it should. He explains how Classroom Champions was born and how it helps improve social and emotional learning — giving educators, principals, school boards, and parents the tools they need to solve complex classroom problems and develop better people for the future.
