Ep. #162 - Author and Educational Consultant Dr. Vermelle D. Greene is Passionate about Helping Boys and Young Men Succeed in the Educational System
Dr. Vermelle Greene is an author, educational consultant, teacher-trainer, mentor, and a homeschool grandparent. She has experience of over 50 years as an educator and school administrator. Dr. Greene firmly believes that the way a child learns is affected by the child’s gender. And, since boys learn differently than girls, they should be taught differently, but unfortunately, they often are not. The result is that many boys are not succeeding in school as they should be and that affects their entire education and ultimately, their success in life.

My guest Tim Vandehey co-wrote with Tracy Maylett the book titled Swipe: The Science Behind Why We Don’t Finish What We Start. Tim is a New York Times best-selling ghostwriter and co-author. Tracy Maylett is an organizational psychologist and expert in employee engagement. They started writing their book as a book to help businesses keep their employees engaged and retain them rather than lose them. They soon realized, however, that it had a greater application to us regular folks, who tend to not finish what we start and then be filled with regret. Tim discusses why we swipe – meaning moving our fingers over technology to move on to something else - and how it has become an unconscious conditioning. As he explains, we swipe when we feel discouraged, uncomfortable, or disillusioned. Tim shares some helpful insights as to what we can do and gives us hope that we can indeed finish what we start and fulfill our goals.
