Listen "Know Your Why - With Jolly Corley"
Episode Synopsis
Why? It's a question we get a lot from really young kids and more and more from our older ones. Young people want to know how things work and, just as important, they want to know the 'why' behind it all. As my guest, Jolly Corley, explains, it's up to us adults to know the 'why' before we get out there and start teaching, leading, and parenting. I recently met Jolly at the ACA Southeastern Camp Conference. By the end of the session, I had multiple pages of notes and knew I had to keep the conversation going. Along with being a very involved mom, Jolly is an assistant director at Camp Robindel, a wonderful girls camp in New Hampshire, who focuses on hiring and developing their staff members, a leadership educator for teams and organizations during her 'off season', and a member of the American Camping Association task force for 21st century skills. We talk about several points I found particularly interesting from her ACA Southeastern talk: common sense is not that common, learning not to make kids say 'I'm sorry', some camp-earned lessons as a parent, and great books to read. Thankfully, we didn't get to everything I wanted to discuss with her which means we get to have Jolly back in the future. I hope you'll enjoy this Campfire Conversation with my new friend, Jolly Corley.
