SYLLABUS
-
Overview of curriculum, classmate intro, explore the IA ecosystem, syllabus and our cohort project.
-
We’ll explore concepts like abstraction, synchronicity, and sense-making to elevate our understanding of the importance of broadening our horizon for learning. It’s often the things we see as non-related that have the most in common.
How do sports, anime, and art intersect? Education and comedy? Fashion and science? Let’s connect the dots.
-
Our leadership framework consists of the 4 P’s: Purpose, Potential, Process, and Perspective . As we improve and excel at any craft, passion, occupation, or hobby our responsibility to lead will increase.
Regardless of position having these skills are necessary for improved performance.
-
Examine play as an often overlooked but key ingredient to unlocking our abilities. Through research and discovery we’ll see how you practice play with intention by addressing themes of perfectionism, external expectations, and redefining what the cycle of success means for each of us individually.
-
In sports the phrase “Know Your Game” speaks to having a clear understanding of your role within the broader team and how you are most impactful. Life is a team sport, who you surround yourself is just as important to your success. It takes practice to become an x-factor in any setting.
Practice strategic planning methods and other visualization techniques to create ideal roles and pieces.
-
Failure is the precursor to learning, and most often the last phase of making our biggest leaps. Our mindset, perspective, and emphasis on this topic will be our secret weapon to hacking the learning curve.
As the great Sun Ra said, “sometimes when you lose, you win.”
-
Greats learn through studying, analyzing, and observing. Nothing is really original but an adaption or iteration on the past. Innovation starts with understanding, creativity with curiously and discovery through exploration. The answer to problems we want to solve start with a question. To improve we must dissect where we can learn, grow, maintain, and maintain.
-
We’ll use this closing session to reflect on our journey by presenting the final project. We’ll invite a selected group of peers to celebrate with and share our overall progress. Time to show the world your magic!
