Kemi Nekvapil – A Compass for When You’re Lost
Guest:
If you’re not navigating your life through your values, what are you using?
Our lord and saviour is back (in a secular, informal way).
Kemi Nekvapil is back in the Academy of Imperfection to talk all things values: what they are, how we choose them, and how you add croissant as one of yours.Extending the conversation of our previous episode on values with Dr Em, Kemi talks with the guys about how their current personal values are working in their life.
Introducing terms such as val-rules, aspirational values and umbrella values, Kemi walks them through the difference between manipulation and modelling, and why the hard work starts AFTER we’ve chosen our values.
In a peak behind the metaphorical (and literal, hi Producer Bridge) curtain, we discuss what went down in our company values session with Kemi, and how these values come into play in a day-in-the-life of The Imperfects production team.
PBIS
Our PBIS Blitz is:
Respecting personal space
Focus:
Respecting others’ personal space in the classroom, playground, and around school.
What It Means:
Personal space is the bubble around someone’s body that helps them feel safe and comfortable. Everyone’s bubble might be a little bit different, but it’s important to keep hands, feet and objects to ourselves.
We Show Respect When We:
- Stand or sit at an appropriate distance from others.
- Wait our turn without pushing or crowding.
- Ask before touching someone’s belongings.
- Keep our hands and feet to ourselves.
- Move safely in lines and shared spaces.
Why It’s Important (Benefits):
- Helps everyone feel safe and comfortable.
- Builds positive friendships and trust.
- Reduces conflict and accidents.
- Encourages kind, respectful behaviour in all areas of school.
- Makes our school a happy, calm place to learn.
- Remember this slogan:
“My space, your space — respect every place!”
