Ep. 131: The Future Self: Preparing Kids For An Unknown Future with Shannon Cox

Happy Day, Friend! 

On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about how to prepare our kids for an unknown future by helping them focus on and develop skills for their “future self”. 

My special guest today is Shannon Cox. 

Shannon currently serves as the 12th Montgomery County Educational Service Center Superintendent, in the organization’s history and is their first female superintendent. Her role includes working directly with and advocating for all 16 public school districts in Montgomery County. As the educational leader for the county, she works with various leaders across city/county government, and other public sectors. 

Shannon was featured as a TEDxDayton speaker, where she gave her TED Talk on “Future Self”. Shannon has served as an adjunct professor at the University of Dayton, where she taught various workshop classes and Educational Leadership courses. 

Shannon and I talk about: 

~ her journey into education; 

~ what keeps her inspired to stay in education despite the massive exodus of teachers; 

~ the concept of the “future self” - what it is and why it’s important in the classroom today; 

~ suggested tools and strategies to help kids cultivate a strong, positive, resilient, and marketable future self; 

~ how she uses the concept of the “future self” in her own life; 

~ and so much more!
