Not by Accident

Becoming and raising good people does not happen by accident.  Nothing that is worthwhile, valuable or magnificent happens by default  -not a marriage, not a career, not children who grow into happy, kind and accomplished adults.  Excellence is not accidental.  This podcast is a tool for parents to use as they purposefully introduce their children to high ideals, virtues, and concepts that are essential to becoming a good person.  We do this in short 3-5 minute podcasts (borrowing from experiences in history, stories shared by others, scenarios and situations) with the intent to foster conversation between parents and children.No one wants to be lectured or moralized -especially children and teens... especially by their parents. So having some outside voices on matters that will help shape children is invaluable.  This of this podcast as a contemporary version of Aesops Fables.  Great for parents, teachers, youth leaders or anyone who is looking for inspiring content when driving to school, a soccer game, to the grocery store or beginning your day.  Enjoy!Creator and Host:  Dr. Thomas Wicke -a social psychologist who is president of a healthcare college in Denver, Colorado.  He is an author, published academic, teacher and speaker on creating effective culture in the workplace through intentional leadership.  He consulted with the Department of Homeland Security on community impact of disaster.
