Karen is a key reason I am still here. Genius U’s wonderful complexity can challenge some of us. Karen’s clarity and continued mapping of key places, documents and how to navigate has found me jumping in and “inspired to find”. Lesli Grant

Helga Jensdottir

Consider the skills students can learn through debating. It can enrich their communication, critical thinking and collaboration skills. It can heighten their research and presentation skills. It provides them with an opportunity to use their voice and to think objectively about a topic or issue.

Teaching Debate Across the Curriculum

Debating helps students strengthen their communication and objective thinking skills, and practice patience and tolerance.

I'm just about finished with my masters degree in leadership and management and reading Daniel Pink's book at the minute! What are you suggestions on getting really clear on ones purpose?

  Hey there. Revisit your Ikigai (what you are good at, what you are passionate about, what the world needs, what you can be paid for). Also consider completing the Find Your Flow microdegree https://app.geniusu.com/missions/13 Keep tweaking things until you what you have really inspires you.
