I always enjoy revisiting the Spotlights throughout the year—it’s a great way to refresh my memory on the short yet powerful stories you’ve all shared. While going through them, I pulled out a handful of quotes to highlight.

Question for Lisa:

Does one person first come to mind: In your very very first “adult” job -- when you were perhaps first out of college or over the age of 21 let’s say – is there someone that pops to mind who brings a smile to your face not because of anything in your specific relationship but just because of who they were or how they moved through the world?

#420: SPOTLIGHT: Steph Jacobs

Question for Steph:

There is an idea that we can learn from every single person on the planet. But there are also deeply ingrained habits we have been trained in that “teachers” have a formal designation which might limit our scope for learning. With that thought, does someone come to mind in the past five weeks that you wouldn’t consider a “formal” teacher at all but who you learned something special from… (perhaps even someone you aren’t even fond of) ?
