If you don’t know Dr. Stacy Hawthorne, the director of Online Learning for the Davidson Academy, and the founder of Hawthorne Education, you are in for a treat! She brings her candid perspective on life and educating through crisis to the Build Momentum podcast in this episode. 

Stacy has a few principles which she follows in her life and shares with us on the show: 

·        Never let adult decisions get in the way of what is right for kids. 

·       The 4 C’s for clearly communicating with your community, which are even more important during a global health crisis. 

·        Yes, real and meaningful relationships can be built online, but take the time to listen as much as you talk. 

·        When done well, there is a human factor to communication that enables you to connect with your clients, students, parents, families and broader community in an authentic way. She shares several strategies for doing just that in the episode.  

And finally, Stacy reminds us that technology is an instrument to solve a problem, but it’s really the people that matter in the equation – no matter what industry or sector or group you’re looking to serve.
