Lessons I Learned from Jobs Before My Education Career - What's My Point? - 815

Lessons Learned from Jobs Before My Education Career - What's My Point? This is episode 815 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.

Over the last three episodes I shared with you stories from my earliest jobs and the lessons learned. I discovered that as I reflected on these lessons that there was some common ground. There were lessons that overlapped. 

From the grocery store, McDonald's, and the plumbing supply warehouse the following lessons that were part of the job then still impact me in my career in education:

1. Own Your Job.

2. Be a Teammate.

3. Be Positive.

4. You Always Have Something to Do.

In this episode I reflect on those 4 lessons and how they still are part of my work world today.

At the conclusion I ask you if you have any lessons that you learned from previous jobs that still influence you today. It would be awesome if you shared with me those lessons you had and how they still are there in your current world. You can shoot me an email by going to the front page of my web page https://stevenmiletto.com or look at the bottom of that same page and you will see a link to leave me a voice mail. Can't wait to hear from you.

Thanks for listening.

Please share. 

It would be awesome to hear from you.

All the best!
