What is your favourite SHIFT Attitude?
By believing that there is always a solution, and always a better one, better in the sense of being beneficial to our planet and all on it, nurturing for heart, mind and soul, and future-enhancing. All of us are creative, we just need to get behind the walls that education has built in our minds, the belief that there is ‘one right answer’, and all the voices in our head that, while often well-meaning, are limiting our potential.
What does “Learning as a Lifestyle” mean to you?
Curiosity, always asking questions and wanting to understand; courage to challenge what is, and imagine what might be; keeping an open heart and mind always; and using diversity to gain different perspectives, and open heart and mind even further.
