Acerca de esta escucha
Think about the last "place" you left. This could be a job, a relationship, a place of worship, or another situation. Did you leave it better than you found it? Did things end the way you wanted?
From award-winning engineering educator and host of the podcast, Engineering Change, this compelling audiobook by Dr. Yvette E. Pearson will empower you to be your best self so you can make a a positive difference in the ways only you can.
Making A Difference: How Being Your Best Self Can Influence, Inspire, and Impel Change compiles lessons Dr. Pearson has learned as a Black, disabled, woman engineer, and strategies she has employed to live an authentic life. From embracing who she is to using her background, identities, skills, and abilities to make a difference within her spheres of influence, Dr. Pearson takes listeners on a reflective journey, using the stories from her personal and professional life that will help you to:
- Avoid boxes created by others.
- Learn to be comfortably discontent.
- Find and use your voice.
- Not only get angry, but M.A.D.
- Be mindful of how you treat others, even when it's difficult.
- Leave things better than you found them in all areas of life.
Making A Difference is both a call to action and a meditative guide to a more authentic life, generously explored in the lived experiences of a 25 year educator, JEDI expert, and servant leader. Whether you personally relate to Dr. Pearson's stories or find yourself challenged to change, this audiobook will motivate you to get involved and see yourself in the solution rather than on the sidelines.

Teachers show up in different forms and in many chapters of a child’s life. Teaching is literacy and numeracy, but most importantly, it’s showing up with your whole heart. It’s walking kids - and yourself - through the hardest conversations about trauma, loss, grief, racism, or violence. As we work to piece together our education system in the fallout from the global pandemic, the focus must be on the teachers. If the people in charge - those teachers - aren’t OK, the students don’t stand a chance.

It is a challenge, not only to those in named positions of power but to anyone who aspires to make a difference in their environment. A challenge to act decisively to influence the world in a positive way. From socio-political chaos and workplace disruption to the climate change crisis, we have never needed people with the skill and will to collaborate to create a better world more than now.

Women of color comprise one of the fastest-growing segments in the corporate workforce, yet often we are underrepresented—among the first, few, or only ones in a department or company. For too long, corporate structures, social zeitgeist, and cultural conditioning have left us feeling exhausted and downtrodden, believing that in order to “fit in” and be successful, we must hide or change who we are.

In Culturize, author and education leader Jimmy Casas shares insights into what it takes to cultivate a community of learners who embody the innately human traits our world desperately needs, such as kindness, honesty, and compassion. His stories reveal how these "soft skills" can be honed while meeting and exceeding academic standards of 21st-century learning.

Women of color today are contributing to an unprecedented wave of "firsts"-whether they are the first in a family to attend college, the first to serve as CEO of a Fortune 500 company, or the first in public office, women of color are reaching new heights of influence. Cecilia Muñoz was a first, too, and she knows what it means to make her way without exemplars to follow. The first Latinx to lead the White House Domestic Policy Council, Muñoz draws lessons from the challenges she faced as the senior Hispanic person in the Obama White House.

Everybody's biased. We all harbor unconscious assumptions that get in the way of our good intentions and keep us from working harmoniously and effectively with other people. In our increasingly diverse society this can be a real stumbling block. Tiffany Jana and Matthew Freeman - consultants who also happen to be a biracial couple - argue that ultimately the only way to really overcome bias is to focus our energy on building relationships.

We need a fundamental shift in our values—a pivot in how we think, act, work, and connect. Despite what we’ve been told, the most critical mainspring of social change isn’t coalition building or problem analysis. It’s healing: deep, whole, and systemic, inside and out. Here, Shawn Ginwright, PhD, breaks down the common myths of social movements—a set of deeply ingrained beliefs that actually hold us back from healing and achieving sustainable systemic change.

Powerful Messages everyone needs to hear
Engaging and informative, thought provoking and challenging. needed to hear every word to help me grow. JEDI is complex and worth every bit of effort. I learned a lot! Loved the author's narration.
The personal stories are full of courage - and encouragement. The challenges are so real and I came away with ideas of how be a better me in the JEDI space. I'm recommending it as an excellent read for everyone in my world. Thanks for shining the light and being the light.
