On Educating Girls Podcast: Girls Who Find Their Way to “Yes”
“At the root of everything we do is collaboration and communication.”
– Ainsley, age 17
We want the girls in our lives to have big ideas and the passion to bring them to life. Yet, how do we, as their adult role models, set the tone, become their partners, teach them the transferable skill sets they need when the big idea might need some help being brought to life? You do it with curiosity and positivity. You do it by asking the right questions. You do it with a learner’s mindset. Together—with her—you create the satisfying “journey to yes.”
On Educating Girls host Trudy Hall learns just how that is done well at Academy of Our Lady of Peace in San Diego, California. Dr. Lauren Lek, Head of School, Rivka Bent, Interim Director of Marketing and Communications, and Ainsley Savant, OLP class of 2023—who created the school’s first Hackathon and is a student lead for the Architects of Change initiative—share how they intentionally built a culture of collaboration, honed a mindset of curiosity, and became partners in a process that enables girls to challenge the status quo, envision a different reality, and develop the skills needed to make their big plans actionable.
