How would you describe people who typically thrive in the education industry?
I think there are two things that come to mind. The first is you have to be willing to try new things; try the changes, give them a shot. You never know until you try. Maybe you'll love it, maybe you'll hate it, but until you've given it a shot, you don't really know.
You have to be willing to step up to the plate and take responsibility for what that outcome looks like, one way or another, and be ready to pivot at any given moment.
The other thing is here at Galileo, we celebrate marvelous mistakes. So what that is, it's a celebration. You take a mistake that you may have made and you really turn it into a celebration of the moment and the learning opportunity.
I think anyone who can celebrate their mistakes and learn from them and continue to grow, rather than being set back by them, would really thrive in this industry.
