Lizness School Season 2 Premiere: New Life Choices

This is a special new Lizness School for all Satellite Sisters listeners.

To continue to get this show, follow Lizness School on any podcast app.

It's all about choices now. Liz Dolan completed her year as a Fellow at Stanford's Distinguished Careers Institute and now she's back in the wild figuring out what's next. There are always lots of choices to make and she's got goals about work, community and wellness. Her millennial mentor Leah Sutherland is in the middle of her own transitions, so they've got lots to share. New this year is that Liz and Leah will be inviting guests to talk about their own big life decisions. They'll also be conducting Office Hours for listeners.

Do you have a question or a thought to share? Record a voice memo on your photo then email it to [email protected] or DM it to Liz on the @liznessschool Instagram.

If you are new to Lizness School, we suggest you listen to Season 1 to hear all about Liz's year as a Stanford Fellow. Everything from Neuroscience and Chinese History to Pickleball! Plus a great community experience with her fellow DCI Fellows. Season 2 is about how she puts her lessons to work in the wild.

Other Learning Suggestions:

If you are interested in learning about artificial intelligence, Liz recommends the newsletter from Stanford HAI. That's Stanford University's Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. It's newsy and not too crazy techy. Just enough to keep you in the loop. Here's a link. Subscribe.

Listener Nicole also recommends all the free courses now offered by MIT. Here's a link to their site.

Since 2001, MIT OpenCourseWare has been creating new opportunities for millions of learners and educators, sharing Open Educational Resources (OER) from MIT and helping to lead a global revolution in free access to knowledge.

MIT OpenCourseWare continues to build on this foundation. With a new web platform, ever-growing content, and collaborations across the vibrant open education ecosystem, we're creating a world of more equitable and inclusive education for all.

MIT OpenCourseWare is a free and open collection of material from thousands of MIT courses, covering the entire MIT curriculum.

Knowledge is your reward. Use OCW to guide your own life-long learning, or to teach others. MIT does not offer credit or certification to users of OCW – and asks for nothing in return.
