In this episode, Gail, Catherine and Kathleen discuss the reality that life often does not follow a straight line and derailments can lead to new paths. Kathleen shares her passion for helping adults to continue developing and learning in ways that can be transformative. Kathleen still has a tremendous urge to do things that make a difference—from teaching working professionals in a doctoral program to facilitating workshops for peer tutors at San Quentin prison.

Key Take-Aways :

Kathleen believes that—

We have choices about who we are and who we can be.
When we recognize the power of our own minds, and exercise our voices, we can bring about profound changes in our own lives and the world around us.
One has no choice but to think about aging—Your mind may say you are a spring chicken, but your body is likely to say otherwise.
Keeping doing keeps you going.

"Recognizing how each of us learns best is as important as what we learn." - Kathleen Taylor
