Innovators' Compass Information

In her last decade of leading, teaching, coaching, and parenting, Ela Ben-Ur has worked with people from many different practices that move us forwardfrom personal learning and reflection practices, to organizational and leadership practices, to innovation practices like design thinking (her own depth) and agile development. Shes sought to the bring powerful common ground in these practices, into a intuitive, concrete form accessible for any person and momentin many different settings and scales. She believes were born exploring in these waysbut get even a little space to ask these questions as we get older. Her aspiration for people of all ages is to nurture the 4Cs of 21st Century learning (communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity; see P21.org) and more (compassion, curiosity, clarity, courage)our inner compass for the ever-growing challenges and opportunities we must navigate, from a personal scale to a global one. Ela spends much of her time building out these resources, learning about and sharing peoples stories, and offering free or pay-what-you can remote workshops and coaching. Her in-person workshops and speaking engagements help pay for these no-cost resources. Please become part of the story! It took yearswith experiments, honest observations, and new ideas from many people to get a tool that can be passed person-to-person and make a difference in whatever theyre trying to do. Please experiment with this, share it (with attribution), and email or tweet your experiences. Those are the critical fuel for this work. Person-to-person sharing moments will always matter most. With those gaining momentum, were now also looking to larger-scale ways to share Innovators Compass and measure its impactand gratefully welcome organizations and districts who do. At either scale, people are still at its center, so please reach out to help!
