This week on the show Patti Sampson and I discuss resiliency, upper limits, and tools that will help you be a fully embodied educator and awesome Camp Pro! Patti is the owner of Coastal Roots Camp as well as the co-host of the Rec Heads and Camp Nerd Podcast, co-founder of Summer Camp Con and Patchwork Marketplace. Patti shares some wonderful stories about resiliency and leads us to a beautiful discussion about upper limits. Check out The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks for more juicy information on this topic. We talk about how resiliency comes into play through both failure and success. From here Patti and I get into a discussion about showing up vulnerably with staff in order to role model resiliency through admitting failure, and knowing your limits and boundaries while doing this is vital. This moves us into a conversation around our self-care needs in order to be resilient including deep and Divine connection. Patti describes an awesome tool of ‘evidence building’ to help remind you what’s going well and what your wins are and I share how this is wonderful for our ego minds. To wrap up, Patti shares that she hopes for all kids to learn to be gritty and refers to Angela Duckworth’s book GRIT. Check out the resources below for more information!
