In this episode, Gail, Catherine, and Kathleen discuss the reality that life often does not follow a straight line and derailments can lead to new paths. Kathleen shares her passion for helping adults to continue developing and learning in ways that can be transformative. Kathleen still has a tremendous urge to do things that make a difference—from teaching working professionals in a doctoral program to facilitating workshops for peer tutors at San Quentin prison.
Key Take-Aways :
Kathleen believes that—
- We have choices about who we are and who we can be.
- When we recognize the power of our own minds and exercise our voices, we can bring about profound changes in our own lives and the world around us.
- One has no choice but to think about aging—Your mind may say you are a spring chicken, but your body is likely to say otherwise.
- Keeping doing keeps you going.
“Recognizing how each of us learns best is as important as what we learn.” – Kathleen Taylor
