Join Dr. Josh Call on May 26 for The Jacobson Institute at Grand View University - Day of Development, leading “Playful Thinking for Human Success”

We’re taught to take thinking seriously, but it’s not about getting the “right” answer; it’s sometimes about noticing what changes when you think differently.

High school juniors and seniors, if you’re curious about how creativity shows up beyond the classroom, you'll want to be here! Register today: www.grandview.edu/ji-prepare

“Taking the First Step” with Nana Coleman... on May 26 at The Jacobson Institute at Grand View University Day of Development.

Most people notice problems. Fewer people do something about them.

This session is about what happens between the idea and the action; how observations, frustrations, and “what ifs” can actually turn into something real.

Students will be challenged to think differently about how ideas become momentum. It's likely, you may leave seeing opportunity where you didn't see it before.

High school juniors and seniors, if you’ve ever thought “someone should fix this,” this is where you'll want to be. Register today: www.grandview.edu/ji-prepare

At the upcoming JI Day of Development on May 26, students will have the opportunity to join a powerful session led by Whitney Warne

“Brag Better: Own What’s True About You”

We all know talking about yourself can be harder than it sounds. This session challenges students to rethink how they tell their story and what it means to truly “own” it.

You can expect a mix of reflection, practical tools, and a few shifts in perspective that tend to stick long after the session ends. If you’ve ever second-guessed how to talk about your strengths or experiences, this is a session you don't want to miss. Register today: www.grandview.edu/ji-prepare
