21: Measuring Success with Smiles with Sunny Williams
Sunny is a co-founder of Tiny Docs, a company that creates health ‘caretoons’ that educate children and their families about surgical procedures and common health and wellness issues. Sunny measures his success in health outcomes and smiles, instead of dollars and cents and his goal for Tiny Docs is to improve kids’ health and make a billion people smile in one hundred languages.
Join us as we discuss Tiny Docs and what education could look like if we measured it in smiles instead of grades.
In this episode, we cover:
- Sunny’s solution for helping anxious children in healthcare settings
- Why Tiny Docs measures it success with smiles
- What would happen if we based students’ susses on their engagement, rather than grades
- The skills are employers looking for
- Improv as a tool to help students’ build life skills
- How saying ‘yes, and’, instead of no, can lead to meaningful ideas
