A new approach to education
At this height of the school year, and captivated by the resonance of the inertia that surrounds us, it is hardly easy to stop and take a breath. To pause to allow the moment in which we live to resonate in our hearts and invite us to embark on the path with more serenity and fullness. This is the habit that each of us should internalize. Firstly, because of the benefits it brings us, according to studies validated by neuroscience, and secondly, because schools and all educational centers need to be educated from this perspective.
Conscious leaders for education
But for this to be possible, we need conscious leaders. Leaders with a watchful eye, with active listening, empathetic and compassionate, humble and approachable, without judgment or criticism. Leaders who are kindly demanding and who know how to accompany teachers in times of difficulty. Leaders with good emotional management and who, with their vital purpose, can accompany the cloister to be the best version of each of them. Leaders with full presence and vision for the future.
The path of the conscious leader
Perhaps the reader thinks that finding people with these qualities is difficult, since we are vulnerable and imperfect. And it is true, but precisely because we are human, we can come to understand what we need to live a full life and educate from this perspective. As the inscription in the temple of Apollo at Delphi says: “Know thyself!” This is the path of the conscious leader, the path of wisdom and understanding of who we are.
Conscious leadership for a better future
We need to continue working for better self-knowledge if we want to move forward as a society and educate in the importance of the common good over the individual good. Schools need conscious leadership. People who know how to value and recognize the other, and who can accompany them in their vital growth. Conscious leadership involves knowing who you are and feeling that being in front of the other is a sacred act.
conclusion
Conscious education is a new approach that invites us to be more attentive, more empathetic and more aware in our task of educating. It is a path that leads us to a better future, where the common good and personal growth are fundamental values. Let’s be conscious leaders and accompany teachers in this wonderful adventure of education.
