   Book Talk: Educating Hearts and Mind by Catherine C. Lewis

   I made this for an educator class I’m taking at UIS. I recommend Educating Hearts and Minds by Catherine C. Lewis to people interested in early education through elementary school in the US or for any grade level in Japan. It’s a great contrast to US education. This is a public episode.

    Introducing the Practical Leadership Cast

    Hello and welcome to the practical leadership cast. This is our very first episode in which Forest Handford uses the time to tell you what the podcast is about and what to expect from future episodes. Forest Handford Is the author of A Trans Feminist's Past (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58306106-a-trans-feminist-s-past) and she wrote some novels including Flipping (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54110390-flipping). Forest has over a decade of corporate and volunteer leadership (https://www.linkedin.com/in/foresthandford/) in which she's learned a lot and hopes to share those lessons with listeners. She's currently looking for a new leadership role. If you have one in mind, please message her on LinkedIn or Discord. Once she starts a new role the timing of episode releases may change. What is Practical Leadership Cast? For at least the first few episodes the format will use an interview style with Forest as your hostess. After that we might change up the format and potentially have multiple hosts. Practical Leadership Cast is about practical leadership topics like mentoring, coaching, recruiting, and DEIB. The initial episodes will interview friends and former colleagues. We have a Discord server, (https://discord.gg/ewhPY6akRF) please join to be part of the conversation. Want to get involved?
