ما علّمني إياه الهوكي عن القيادة والمرح والحياة | جيري بيتس | TEDxRiverfield Country Day School

يتحدث جيري بيتس، مدير مدرسة Riverfield Country Day School في تولسا بولاية أوكلاهوما، عن الدروس التي تعلمها من لعبة الهوكي وكيف شكّلت نهجه في القيادة والحياة. ويرى أن السعي نحو التميز لا يجب أن يكون على حساب الفرح، وأن الدروس المهمة تأتي أحيانًا أثناء الاستمتاع. يملك بيتس أكثر من 35 عامًا من الخبرة في المدارس المستقلة والتعليم العالي والاستشارات. أُلقيت المحاضرة في فعالية TEDx منظمة بشكل مستقل.

• دروس من الهوكي مطبقة على القيادة والحياة اليومية
• يمكن أن يتعايش التميز مع الفرح
• يحدث التعلم غالبًا خلال لحظات المرح
