In this episode, Dr. Shaun McAlmont, President of Career Learning Solutions at Stride, Inc., shares his one big idea for exploring and attaining great careers.
Shaun McAlmont is a training executive based in the United States. His parents both continued their education over many years, resulting in his father becoming an Engineer and mother a Nurse, while Shaun was in his teen years. Their lifelong commitment to hard work and learning inspired Shaun’s educational pursuits and career path. He understood the value of an education, and specifically the benefits of continued learning, all from the experience within his own home. At a young age Shaun found that he had natural academic, social and athletic abilities which he worked hard to master. Early life successes in these areas bolstered his confidence and developed his ability to motivate others by example. His efforts to avoid becoming one dimensional in his skills and achievements resulted in athletic and academic success, development of effective communication skills, and his selection as team captain of 3 separate sports over multiple years. He was also selected as valedictorian of his graduating class.
