Education needs to lead us to ask the right questions and make effective decisions. Institutions of learning play a major role in building the necessary cognitive skills to prepare an individual for various stages of the business of life.
Reflective decision making should be taught and in built in our education so everyone can believe in themselves. It is about preparation for living the professional life gracefully in the current working world, whatever role we play. Authenticity and flexibility are to be part of the process to enable to take actions.

Practicing critical thinking, collaboration, communicating and acting on issues that matter, problem solving, clarity of thought, word and deed are necessary to bring out the leader in everyone. These skills are to be stressed repeatedly everywhere - whether it is societies, corporations or politics.
Thankfully, the twenty first century world wide education leaders recognize these skills as necessary for the rapid paced world. The social media is a vehicle to propagate these to enable exponential growth in the process and practice.
An agenda for the goals of education to enable transforming students and transitioning professionals to reach their true potential is a topic I look forward to work on.
