7 Lessons You Might have Missed in

School……That

could really help you out as an

adult

@dfishrockstar©2015 RockStar Consulting

learn from your

teacher (and the crossing

guard, and the janitor,

etc.)

Those who have a few grey hairs probably have

some experience to go with it. Don’t get blinded by the flashy stories of

20-year-old internet

millionaires. Learn from the people who have put in

the time and effort and are willing to share with you.

enjoy recess

@dfishrockstar©2015 RockStar Consulting

Life isn’t always easy, so when you

have the opportunity for

some fun – take it. You don’t have to

go skydiving every weekend, just find

the simple pleasures that you enjoy, and enjoy

them more.

@dfishrockstar©2015 RockStar Consulting

keep your

hands to yourself

@dfishrockstar©2015 RockStar Consulting

The first step towards getting

respect is giving it. That means

respecting the people around you,

physically and metaphorically. If

you want to connect with others, make them feel safe and comfortable first.

sit with different kids at

lunch

@dfishrockstar©2015 RockStar Consulting

These days, it’s easy to surround ourselves with

people who think, act, and behave

just like us. That’s a mistake because the world is vast,

and diverse perspectives can

lead to new solutions and a lot

more fun.

do your homew

ork

@dfishrockstar©2015 RockStar Consulting

There’s no way to get around the fact that learning takes time and

effort. But when you learn

something new, new

opportunities open up before

you.

@dfishrockstar©2015 RockStar Consulting

there is a time to

color inside the lines,

and a time to ignore

them

@dfishrockstar©2015 RockStar Consulting

You’ll spend your whole life figuring out which is which,

but just being aware that both have value

is a pretty good place to start.

There’s not one way to color the world.

make naptime

your friend

@dfishrockstar©2015 RockStar Consulting

Sometimes we think that we have to work

harder and push more to find

success. Often, we just need to

take a nap, maybe have

some milk and cookies, and then

start again.

I’m still trying to learn and apply the lessons of school in

life and in business. When I’m not making

pithy powerpoints, I help professionals

harness the power of relationships so that they can work more

easily and efficiently.
