单集简介 ...

Teaching self-defense to young women in her late twenties, Rosalind Wiseman saw a world she never expected; one where girls and young women would destroy each other. Not physically, but emotionally and socially. And, it wasn't okay with her. So, she stepped in, started to listen - really listen - not to adults, but to the young women, then all kids, and began to build coalitions in an effort to create better ways to be with each other. That eventually led her to write Queen Bees and Wannabees, a book that stormed onto the scene, rattled people to their core and started not just a conversation, but a global movement. Wiseman has since devoted herself to helping communities shift the way we think about children and teens' emotional and physical wellbeing. Through her teaching, speaking, curricula which is now taught in schools around the world, and media appearances on relational aggression, ethical leadership, the use of social media, and media literacy, she works with educators, parents, children, and teens to help them navigate the power dynamics that influence their lives and relationships. Seeking to scale the impact of her work to more people, she recently launched Cultures of Dignity, an organization that helps adults in positions of power support the children around them. But the journey has not been easy. And, we cover the highs, lows and in-betweens in today's conversation. ------------- Have you discovered your Sparketype yet? Take the Sparketype Assessment™ now.

单集文稿 ...

  • So in the early two thousands, exposed to the often horrifying ways that kids were treating each other, Rosalind Wiseman decided to write a book that eventually was called Queen Bees and wannabes, helping her daughter survive cliques, gossip, boyfriends and the new realities of girl world.

  • She had no idea what would happen when this book moved out into the world.

  • But when it did, it exploded into the public's consciousness, revealing pervasive social cruelty, bullying and injustice among kids.

  • And young adults especially focused on girls.

  • It also became a bit of a manifesto for a movement of change, leading her to develop curriculum and travel the world on a mission to teach parents and educators and teachers and community leaders and anyone else in a position of trust and influence for kids how to create environments that foster more dignity and shared humanity.

  • And along the way, she also did something radical.

  • She invited those very kids and young adults to become advisors and contributors, giving them a genuine voice in developing the programs and the curriculum and the ideas that truly resonated with them.

  • So now, as the founder of an organization called Cultures of Dignity, she's on a mission to work with communities to really shift the way we think about young people's physical and emotional well being.

  • It has not been easy, but she is committed to this and making a profound global impact with her work.

  • It is truly making kids and young adults lives better and in turn, the lives of their families.

  • And the bigger ripple is the state of the world.

  • So excited to share this conversation with you.

  • I'm Jonathan Fields and this is good life project.

  • You have been on my radar for quite a number of years through my wife, actually.

  • A number of times.

  • She's like, she's doing such powerful work.

  • I can't understand why this is not in every school around the country and around the world.

  • So it's great to be able to actually sort of like coordinate times and be in the same time because I know you're on planes, trains and automobiles all the time also.

  • Yeah, I want to dive deep into a lot of the work you've been doing over the last few years and then some of the stuff you're doing right now.

  • Let's take a step back in time, though, and sort of like trace a bit of the origin story.
