This episode on “Comparanoia™” is about something that I feel, and I’m sure YOU feel, quite poignantly this time of year: inadequacy. Whether you’re struggling with classroom management or just worried that your friend’s winter concert has better props and lighting than yours, it’s easy for imposter syndrome to creep up on you.
That’s why for this episode I brought in the man trademarked the term “Comparanoia™”, Davide DiGiorgio. Davide is fresh of a wildly popular TEDx talk where he shares how to be Unapologetic about just being YOU. Davide is also an award-winning theater producer, composer and acclaimed educator.
From band to choir, small ensembles to musical theater, Davide has spent his career and life dedicated to raising the bar and being a positive role model for students, teachers, and parents.
