What does the bass guitarist for Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band and a passionate executive leader have in common?
Shifting the winds from bullying to caring, empathy, sharing, and kindness in children (and adults) is sadly not an easy task. That's where IM4U Learning transforms how we talk about and teach tough stuff!
Children's advocate, songwriter, and author, @JimMayer, long-time member of the Coral Reefer band is known as an award-winning writer and producer of songs for children. He has performed at national education conferences and in regional assemblies for many years. He founded IM4U Learning, a startup to bring the joy of music and play-based learning to children and teachers in the classroom.
So how does @Maura Connor fit into this story?
Jim seeks a CEO to lead IM4U; there's an introduction and then a mash-up! Maura Connor and Jim Mayer have a shared purpose and passion for transforming education and making an impact in the lives of children and teachers. The common thread? Both had seen how bullying young children in schools had devastating impact and saw a critical need in our educational system to help children develop resilience, self-awareness, empathy, respect, and more.
An ed-tech startup union is formed, and Maura takes the helm of IM4U Learning. #futureforward with me and Maura Connor
Maura and I are also grateful for the passionate work of Luann Abrams whose mission is to drive more #women into #CEO roles! Thank you, Luann for all that you do! (links in the article and mentions in the video for more info)
