EP:002 Author, Internet Crusader, & Huffington Post Blogger, Galit Breen: Raising Digital Kids


Listen Later

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Yet when it comes

to search engines, social sharing, and interactive forums, words –
however harsh or humble – carry their weight in spades. In fact,
you’ve probably heard stories or perhaps you’ve been a direct
victim of overt or explicit judgments materialized as a result of
cyber bullying.   

Galit Breen is no stranger to receiving a wave of online

criticism. She had a particularly hurtful experience with social
media, but transformed it into a movement favoring a kinder
approach to online encounters. Now a pioneer for a safer Internet,
not only teaching her own children how to reap the positives of
digital sharing, but Galit has branched out to others on the topic
through her breakout book, Kindness Wins. Her unique
experience and outspoken courage has garnered mainstream acclaim
catching the attention of media networks such as The
Today Show and xoJane.   

Key takeaways: 

  • Learn what it means to zoom out and “shhhh
  • during your social media interactions and why provoking others to
    think leads to more meaningful connectivity.   
  • Discover the sage piece of advice that helps most everyone
  • bounce back from the anguish associated with adversity. 
  • Adopt some good rules of thumb: remember behind every curated
  • highlights reel is the inevitable bloopers reel.  
  • Cultivate a support system and don’t go it alone. Take stock of
  • the five people you spend the most time with and assure that they
    all have this one thing in common.    
  • Embrace the role of the “somebody” by becoming a game-changer
  • and creating a culture of kindness benefitting future generations
    to come.    

    Tune in and turn the volume up for a dose of

    inspiration and life lessons. That’s how we Live Lead
