#mypjpdgifts 2 The Innovator's Mindset

INNOVATION, now there’s an overused, misused and abused word.  I often wondered if people truly know what it means until I stumbled upon the Principal of Change, Mr. George Couros and his book the Innovator’s Mindset: Empower Learning, Unleash Talent, and Lead a Culture of Creativity. This book is an eye-opener, a make you squirm in your seat if you are someone who hasn’t embraced the true meaning of innovation or if you are ok with the complacency of sameness that does not produce results.
 
Why I recommend this book?
  1. Easy read -I don’t always have time to read but if I’m engaged in a book like this one, I can’t put it down. 
  2. Relevant – The writer uses his own life experiences and experiences of others, it’s like yeah I can relate or I get that, that is so true!  
  3. Makes you think - George Couros provides deep reflective moments, for educators regardless of position, in the ways we approach educating not just the next generation but also our communities and ourselves
  4. Ideas - this is the book that prompted me to start My Pajama PD Party, along with a nudge from my accountability friend, Njeri Carty, owner of Branches of Learning.  Not only, was I rethinking innovation, I was innovatively thinking (big words) how can I get others to embrace the idea of personal learning.  
  5. More Ideas! Thanks to George and his book I made the move to get my business rolling again and was able to spearhead an Innovations Day movement (an idea straight from the book) in our schools termed “Made in Anguilla”.  I’m happy to report that two of our schools have embraced the idea. Check out pics from the Morris Vanterpool School’s “Made in Anguilla Day”

Even though the book was written primarily for educators, the message of the book is really for anyone, especially persons stuck in the same rut and just need that push to think outside, around, under, through and above the box. 
​
So if you need some motivation to get the innovative juices flowing, get the Innovator’s Mindset, the perfect gift for any educator or innovator on the rise.
