Hunting or Gathering?
Amongst your students and the staff you work with reflect on who is “Hunting” and who is a “Gathering.” This awareness will give you a better understanding of how to differentiate instruction, how to teach certain students, see where a parent is coming from, and have empathy for others. This awareness will create better relationships!
Purpose of hunting and gathering
o For Both is Survival. That means there is a lot of intensity and energy around it.
Version
o Hunting is the masculine. While both men and women can both do this, it’s fueled by testosterone. On average, men have 16x more testosterone than women. Without the same amount of “jet fuel”, women can become exhausted with hunting.
o Gathering is the feminine. Because it’s Survival driven, don’t think of the softer, gentler spiritual aspects of femininity here.
Focus
o Hunter is Single Focused. He or she is paying attention to one thing at a time. It could be a complex thing but it’s one ultimate result, like “Win the Game, Pass the Test, Score the Highest on This Exam, Increase API.”
