Learning Videos: Turning Adversity into Teachable Moments
The following learning videos are more than just educational content—they are a testament to resilience, transformation, and the power of perspective. These learning videos, born from firsthand experiences with retaliation, showcase how even the most challenging situations can become powerful lessons.
I took the best—and the worst—of those experiences and turned them into valuable learning tools, not just to document what happened but to inspire and educate. Through academic research, real-world examples, and engaging storytelling, these videos help learners navigate complex issues, from workplace dynamics to crisis communication and beyond.
At the heart of my vision is the belief that every challenge presents an opportunity for growth. No matter how difficult the circumstances, there is always something to learn. Our videos empower individuals to recognize, analyze, and respond to adversity in ways that foster personal and professional development.
My learning videos are organized into distinct categories, offering unique insights and perspectives. Appreciative Inquiry videos focus on the power of positive questioning to drive change and uncover strengths within challenging situations. The Occupational Ambiguity series documents a real-world case of institutional misconduct, providing a firsthand look at the complexities of accountability and retaliation. The Resonant Transformation series builds on the Occupational Ambiguity videos, which expands the conversation with Above the Law: An Appreciative Examination into Mayoral Control of NYC Public Schools, critically exploring power dynamics, governance, and the broader implications of leadership in education. Learners can also find videos on the Appreciative Learning Lab Youtube page.
