About this listen
Slowing down and being present in the moment can significantly enhance our creativity, and that's the core message we explore with Dr. Jill Walsh in this mini episode. Recorded right after her keynote at Detroit Country Day School, Dr. Walsh—a sociologist from Boston University—shares her insights on how over-scheduled students often turn to technology to fill their downtime, missing out on the benefits of personal connection and finding creativity in pause. This episode features a thought-provoking discussion with Celeste Mahabir, Detroit Country Day School's Upper School Academic Dean, where we emphasize the importance of creating classroom environments that allow students to reflect, engage, and just be present. We dive into how taking the time to pause and disconnect from technology can lead to deeper thoughts and greater self-discovery. Join us as we reflect on the crucial role of presence in meaningful learning experiences and the impact it has on student creativity.
