Preschool Teacher and Camp Entrepreneur Angela Roman shares her three-word approach for organization, and how she used a lesson plan failure to master “pivoting without remorse.”

Welcome back to No Doubt, Let’s Go, the show for doers, dreamers, and everyone in between, where we find the agile mindset in every person’s process.

In this fun, fast, and actionable conversation, Coach Reggie talks with Angela Roman, a preschool teacher who recently earned her bachelor’s degree and is the entrepreneur behind the planned nature-focused camp, Nature Rocks.

In this episode, Angela details her methodology for finding clarity and achieving goals:

1. The Three-Word Philosophy (Stop, Think, Plan): Angela explains that “Stop” is essential to avoid burnout and “just be”. “Plan” is crucial for organization, saving time, and reducing stress and anxiety, following her mother’s quote: “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail”.

2. Manifestation and Clarity: When tackling large goals, Angela shares the powerful technique of writing a letter to herself detailing her five-year vision. This act serves as an affirmation/manifestation that leads to a solid timeline. To escape feeling stuck, her advice is to take a pause in nature (a “Gemba Walk”) to find clarity.

3. The Multitasking Myth: Angela firmly states that multitasking means “getting nothing done”. Coach Reggie demonstrates this inefficiency using the ABC 123 game, proving that doing two tasks concurrently takes significantly longer and is more difficult than working in sequence (small batches).

4. Agile Pivots and Resilience: As a teacher, Angela understands the need to be resilient. She shares a retrospective where a lesson on circles failed using rollers, leading her to pivot to using cars and tires; this proved that the objective (learning circles) is more important than the how (the method). Coach Reggie notes that this ability to adapt quickly is the agile concept of “pivoting without remorse”.

Angela’s final philosophy for doers is simple: “Be like Nike and just do it”.
