  • Ep. 5 - Fostering Leadership Skills in the Home + Compassion in the Workplace with Carol Ann D'Accurzio

    Meet Carol Ann. 


    Carol Ann D'Accurzio has been a high school English teacher for over twenty years. She also is the mother of three, two teenagers and one tween. So, suffice to say, Carol Ann KNOWS teenagers. Our conversation originally centered around tips on how you could harmoniously co-exist with teens in the house during COVID and beyond. Fast forward two years later, and I hope you'll see, as I did, that what Carol Ann shares are life lessons and strategies no matter what adversity we inevitably face in life. A few of the gems are ways to step back and allow leadership skills to rise up within our kids in the home and the importance of how small acts of support for colleagues go a long way. 


    "We all hear how students need us, but we need them too."


    We hope you enjoy our conversation.

    Meet Ryan.


    Ryan Miller is the director of MVCC's thINCubator, the central NY incubator, and accelerator on a mission to help start-ups grow and thrive. Ryan is also the founder and host of the Rust Belt Startup podcast.

    Ryan and I originally spoke in April 2020 to talk about all things distraction, disruption, and derailment. No matter where you fall on this spectrum today, for very different reasons, we hope that you gain some insight into how to stay afloat amongst any chaos and uncertainty.

    Highlights:

    * The power of sceniuses.

    * The ultimate questions all businesses can consistently ask themselves to create a sustainable, thriving, and fulfilling experience.

    * Practical and doable mindset shifts during inevitable times of adversity and challenges in business (which completely transfer to life in general)

    * How to prioritize and focus on what matters and allow that to inform making adjustments to your daily schedule to keep those values and activities on the front burner.
