BE THE CHANGE

BE THE CHANGE

What's generating one of the most important conversations and calls to action of our time?

Jonathan Haidt's new book, The Anxious Generation.

While we've seen shocking research on the impact of technology on our youth, Haidt compellingly integrates research notes, insights, and recommendations.

What are the ways you will take action? Each of us has a crucial role to play in this.

To start, I'll share this book and related podcasts and have conversations with my kids, my Vistage members and coaching clients, my YMCA board, school district leaders, and friends.

I'll also reinforce systemic changes that are in play. e.g., Our school district enacted a policy of no phones at school this past Fall. Our community is working on multiple paths to build more indoor and outdoor recreation space.

I'll also catch myself in "fragmented attention," turn off notifications, put the phone away during conversations, etc.

What will you do?
