LEAD WITH HUMANITY
As human beings, we all have the same essential needs: to experience connection, to know that we have value and purpose, and to feel accepted by others. When these needs are met, the greatness that is in each one of us begins to shine through, and we experience the transformative power of our humanity! From the Drake Academy of Excellence, the Lead with Humanity podcast acknowledges the problems that persist in society and how they impact leadership and education. In each episode, we identify the societal and mental shifts we need to make in order to create sustainable change and highlight how transformative education and leadership can be when we are dedicated to prioritizing humanity. Join Drake Academy of Excellence founder and educator, Esther Concepción and Community Liaison, Michael Little, as they share their stories and discuss how the Drake Academy of Excellence is creating change by leading with humanity.
