#Repost @nolsedu with @get_repost NOLS instructor Andy Notopoulos breaks down self-awareness into four simple, yet powerful assessments of self. Self-awareness is the comprehensive discovery of who we are (in the world and on a NOLS course), how we explore and define our identities and how our emotions give us greater knowledge of ourselves and our role in a group. The beauty of a NOLS expedition is the opportunity to step away from the noise and into a setting that encourages introspection and exposure to new experiences that can shape future behaviors. Read Andy's full reflection on self-awareness through the link in our bio.

It's always fun to think about the "trail that started it all." Do you remember the first trail you *ever* hiked? Where was it, and how did it impact your connection to the outdoors? It is National Take a Hike Day, and while this year's observation certainly feels different, we still encourage you to hit the pavement or the trail and responsibly explore the vibrant streets, parks, and recreational spaces in your community! #NationalTakeAHikeDay #TakeAHikeDay #RecreateResponsibly

#Repost @nolsedu with @get_repost NOLS instructors are the guardians of the leadership learning process and teachers of new skills and knowledge. They create environments where learning can happen naturally, so students can discover their own natural leadership. We asked seven NOLS instructors to share their insights on the seven NOLS leadership skills, how they’re defined, applied, and how they can be lived long after the expedition is over. We’re kicking off this series with a look at Expedition Behavior (the golden rule of group adventures) through the eyes of NOLS instructor Molly Herber. Read Molly’s full interview on Expedition Behavior through the link in our bio.
