S1:E12 EPIC Tales of School Success: Cathedral Building
In this episode, Andrew and Gina dive into the Habitude value of Cathedral Building, a mindset that goes beyond the daily grind to focus on the bigger picture. Building something meaningful takes time, energy, and resources, and it can often feel like you’re just “laying bricks.” But great leaders and dedicated builders keep the vision of their “cathedral” in mind—the end goals that make the effort worthwhile. Through stories of teachers who’ve embodied this perspective, Andrew and Gina illustrate how seeing beyond the immediate can bring purpose and direction to any role, inspiring listeners to lead with vision and impact.
The value in this podcast comes from our Habitudes Curriculum: a unique, image-based learning system that helps young adults develop leadership habits. Each image sparks conversations and real-life insights, creating memorable experiences and lasting leadership skills. Find out more here.
