How People Grow: Finding Wisdom in Every Season
We don’t tend to see things as they really are; instead, we see things as we are. Many have said it, but few get it. It’s hard to get outside of our own worldview. On How People Grow, we share stories, struggles, and successes that remind us we’re not alone. Knowing we’re not alone can be a powerful antidote to the difficulties we face. Join hosts David Achata, PCC, and Dr. Tyler Rodgers for Season 1, as they explore the importance of open-mindedness, respectful dialogue, and understanding in personal growth. Discover how to: Overcome biases and see the world through others’ eyes. Engage in respectful conversations that foster understanding and growth. Build bridges across diverse perspectives and find common ground. Create a safe space for open communication and collaboration. Featuring a special guest episode with Dr. Randy Woodley, a Cherokee teacher, author, activist, and farmer, we explore growth through diverse perspectives, particularly the experiences of people of color. Tune in to How People Grow for practical tools and inspiring insights that will help you expand your worldview and connect more deeply with others.
