360 What Skydiving Teaches Us About Letting Go, Learning, and Leading in Education
In this episode of Disrupt Education, we dive deep into embracing simplicity, letting go, and the surprising impact of skydiving on educational perspectives. Jen Sharp, a seasoned skydiving instructor and former drop zone owner, shares how “being lazy” isn’t about disengagement, but about efficient action and focusing on what truly matters. She challenges the fixation on solving every problem immediately, advocating instead for focusing on what’s working—whether in the sky or the classroom. We discuss how purpose in education is always evolving, the power of making mistakes, and the energy renewal that comes from genuine curiosity and learning. Join us as we explore the parallels between skydiving and education, encouraging educators to breathe, let go of outdated ideas, and stay open to constant growth—just like taking that exhilarating jump from a plane.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that will leave you ready to soar!
