Dr. Madeline Levine has spent almost four decades working as a clinician, consultant, educator and author. But, for all that experience, she knows there’s one unassailable, universal truth – change is always on the horizon. That’s especially true in today’s world, where, like as not, you may wake up each day facing a totally new set of circumstances. That can be exciting, but it can also be overwhelming for kids working to get prepared for a rapidly evolving world. That’s why Levine authored “Ready or Not,” a book tailored at “how best to prepare our children and ourselves for an uncertain” world. On this episode of FranklinCovey Education’s Change Starts Here, host Dustin Odham and Levine dove into some of the lessons from “Ready or Not,” as well as Levine’s history in educating the world and thinking critically about how we can best meet life head on. Levine, herself, knows about working through challenges and finding ways to grow. At one point, after losing her father as a teenager, she experienced tremendous upheaval and chaos. “I think my work really comes out of, ‘Life is tough.’ I get it – life is tough,” she said. “It was really tough back then, and what I feel in my heart is that we shouldn’t make it any harder than it is. … I love what I do, because it gives me a purpose, and I feel like I’m being helpful. I’m a big believer in purpose. “You’ve got to have a why.”
