On Innovate Carolina’s podcast, On the Heels of Innovation, Indigo CEO Sheri Smith and Ted Zoller discuss how Indigo helps schools identify students who have what it takes to become powerful entrepreneurs. These individualistic, forward-thinking students will make up the backbone of successful businesses for generations to come, so Indigo helps schools by identifying these students early to allow for greater educational support and encouragement. In this episode, Sheri talks about how Indigo Project inspires entrepreneurial-oriented students to build their own ventures and tackle life’s challenges. Give it a listen!
Indigo is excited to share some of our data findings working with ALAS‘ (Association of Latino Administrators & Superintendents) Superintendent Leadership Academy.
Preview:
“This survey data shows that ALAS is training and attracting highly skilled leaders who care deeply about making sure people feel seen and valued (Empathy) and helping others (Social). They feel deeply connected to their work and create environments where others also feel they belong (Sense of Belonging),” said Sheri Smith, founder and CEO of Indigo. “This meaningful work contributes to high levels of self-confidence and the ability to bring together many pieces of information to solve complex social problems (Integrative Ability). Basically ALAS leaders are rock stars who we want leading our schools and districts!”
