Today’s podcast features Dr. Vicki Phillips, who will talk with us about the High Leverage Practice of “Possibility”. When was the last time you pulled yourself out of your comfort zone with your goal of achieving something bigger than yourself or your circumstances? Vicki Phillips discusses how her ability to abandon familiarity in her early life has helped to set her on a trajectory for success throughout her career. Vicki is an example of what it means to be a “possibilist” by not only believing in something bigger than herself in each career move but has also used this energy to influence others.
Dr. Vicki Phillips currently serves as the Executive Vice President and Chief Education Officer at the National Geographic Society. She has tirelessly championed students’ rights to a high-quality education through her many leadership roles, including as a teacher, state-level policymaker, nonprofit leader, superintendent of schools, chief state school officer and K-12 education director. Prior to joining the National Geographic Society, Philips served as an education strategist in the United States and internationally; as CEO in Residence for Educurious; and, for nearly a decade, as the Director of Education, College Ready, at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Join us in an inspiring conversation with the extraordinaire “Possibilist”, Dr. Vicki Phillips.
