Entrepreneurial Mindset for Transformative Education with Stephen Carter
They Don’t Need a Map. They Need a Compass. (Full Length Keynote)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The traditional promise of education was simple: learn the material, follow the prescribed path, earn the degree, and arrive at a predictable destination. But that map no longer matches the world students are entering.
In this episode, Stephen Carter explores the growing crisis of student disengagement and the volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity shaping the future of work and education. He challenges educators to move beyond preparing students to follow instructions and instead help them develop the courage, creativity, and adaptability to navigate an unpredictable world.
At the center of that work is a different understanding of entrepreneurship: not simply starting a business or making money, but taking a risk to create something new for the good of others. Through this lens, the entrepreneurial mindset becomes a framework for Christian formation—helping students discover their callings, create meaningful impact, and use their gifts in service to others.
