  • #204 - Ken Starks saved my TEDX speech! True Story.

    When I interviewed my TEDX speaking coach, Ken Starks I asked him this simple question, “What is the one tip you give to all your speakers? What does every speaker need to have?” 

    “Authenticity.” He paused and in that pause I thought, “Well, duh.”

    But then the words that fell out of his mouth floored me, “Because they don’t know where authenticity lives within them.” Mic drop. 

    YESSS! OMG YESS! So true. 

    When I set out to interview Ken I could not have imagined the numerous parallels there are in speaking and essay writing. It’s all about storytelling, finding your voice, and excavating your authenticity. 

    Whether your child is writing an election speech, preparing for a class presentation, or preparing to write the most important piece of writing to date, the college essay, this episode is for you.

    And, as a bonus, Ken reveals all my flaws and shortcomings as I was preparing for my TEDX talk last summer. He didn’t hold back, and I’m glad he didn’t! 

    Cheers!

  • #203 - I hate inefficiency. A week in the life of Dr. C.


    I may not have ever shared this, but I’m a huge fan of Amy Porterfield. She is thorough, efficient, and my kind of a minute-to-minute girl. 

    The term “Time Batching” came from her (I think), however, as an educator, who was part of the team when we moved the academic schedule from 6 periods a day to block schedules, I get it. It makes sense. 

    People ask me how I get so much done in one week. Well, here is a week in my life.

    Enjoy!

  • #198 - How This Mom Supplemented Public School Counseling With Private School Advice.

    Have you ever “accidentally” been on the other side of the tracks? All of a sudden you realize how the “other” side lives? I was in Kansas City recruiting for Vassar and I was at the right address, but on the wrong side (I was east instead of west or vice versa). As I finally drove up to the correct address, the guard greeted me, and as I drove past the brick buildings and manicured lawn, I found my “reserved” visitor spot. How was it that just half a mile the other way was so different?

    If your child attends a public or religious school, perhaps you have wondered what goes on behind that guard shack? WELL, this parent I’m interviewing today knows a thing or two about that. Her son was enrolled in one of those elite private schools, but decided he’d rather spend high school at the local public school. 

    As parents, you give your children what they want and need to be happy. I get it. But this mom KNEW what she would have to do to just keep up with her son’s private school peers. With that, she enrolled Matteo in public school, but had a plan of attack to still arrive at the same happy college ending her son had always dreamed of. 

    This is her story.

    Every parent wants the best college options for their child. The problem is school counselors are not easily accessible until late junior year. 

    At Destination YOUniversity, we know families need key information and actionable to-dos in order to access top 100 colleges. That is why I started the podcast, Destination YOUniversity.

    Every Wednesday, I interview former parents, school leaders and college admission folks that offer key tips and strategies on how to become a better parent, educator, mentor or student.

  • #197 - What Lynwood Unified did that most public schools would not do

    If you’ve ever watched The Breakfast Club, Bad Teacher, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, or Election and thought, “Yep, that was my high school,” sit tight, this episode is for you!!

    I was the quintessential rah rah gal: cheerleader, student body president, dating the triple athlete who was the ASB vice president. Yep, I was THAT girl. I loved high school. HOWEVER, when I think back to all the teachers and administrators who knew me, nobody, I mean nobody, talked to me about college.

    Public schools get a bad rap. I know.

    And honestly, it is for good reason. Yes, they are under-resourced and under staffed. I get it. And yet, I don’t. Because if the goal is to help students get more students to apply to college, become eligible, apply to college and be admitted, this can be done. It is not an insurmountable task. Where there is a will, there is a way. And in my opinion, helping students achieve their dreams is the reward.

    Today I share the lessons from my elite private school days and how Lynwood Unified implemented one strategy to yield 70 college acceptances for their seniors in just 6 days.
