The Power of a Personal Philosophy

I've blogged before on personal branding - if you haven't read it please do. As I was creating this website I had to think about my personal philosophy. Most educators at some point reflect on their educational philosophy. It's important because it helps guide how you approach teaching and learning, but I think it's worthwhile to think more broadly. Here's a neat article that goes over some of the points below [ehow link]:
  1. Reflect - what are you about? Ask your trusted colleagues. Look at your work.
  2. Write down the words that represent these ideas
  3. Arrange them into a paragraph with a sentence for each word
  4. See if you can reduce this into a few short, powerful  and engaging phrases
  5. Lastly try and think of one word that captures the entire philosophy - a word to live by

What might this look like?
Words that embody what I am about: hard work, achievement, mentoring, sharing, giving, life-long learning, being involved, paying it foreward. 

Check out my Landing page to see how I did. For those who are embarking on creating their own websites here's some tips on what your landing page should look like [article link] 


Having a powerful personal philosophy will help align your actions with your values. Everything you do should come back to "what am I about?". If you can distill this into one word - even better! I am still reflecting on my one word - as a Meducator I think it will also have to work as an acronym :)

"More than just titles, being a clinical educator and life coach is Dr. Lalani’s passion. I know for certain that his unique qualifications; experience and communication skills will change the lives of many" Dr KP
"There is a huge amount of anxiety around our licensing exams. The coaching I received helped me to get into the correct mindset in the days before the exam. It really helped me to shift my focus  to ensuring that I was eating, sleeping, and thinking in a way that would allow me to perform my best." Dr BT
"I owe one of my jobs to Nadim. Just prior to the job interview I was feeling overwhelmed and lacking confidence. I called Nadim and he coached me for the interview. As we talked, his coaching really helped me put into perspective my skills, experience and vision. Having Nadim help me with the big picture put me at ease and I felt calm and confident going into that interview" Dr MW
