Good morning, 12s. Here's a look at what's out there today — Thursday, February 24 — about your Seattle Seahawks.
Pete Carroll and Amplify Voices Featured On Flipgrid Live Event
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has long been known for his upbeat personality and penchant to keep a positive attitude. It's helped him build the winning culture in Seattle that's made him one of the best, and most popular, coaches in the NFL.
It's also the culture that Carroll has used with his company Amplify Voices. The media production and marketing company is dedicated to making sure that diverse, caring voices have a chance to be heard on a large scale through podcasts, social media campaigns, documentaries, and more, aimed at spotlighting and empowering inspiring leaders.
On Wednesday, Carroll and members of his Amplify Voices team, Audrey Cavenecia and Sean Goode, were featured as part of a live event with Flipgrid, a social learning app that provides a space for students and educators to hold virtual discussions from all over the world. Carroll and the Amplify Voices team told the students about the culture behind Amplify Voices, the power of believing in themselves, and taught them about how they can learn to connect with their true purpose. The students even got to record videos of themselves asking Carroll questions, which the coach answered live on the call.
"Amplify Voices is an outreach by us with the simple thought that everybody deserves to be heard," Carroll said. "Everybody's got a message. Everybody has something to say, something to share, and if you give people an opportunity you can see the inside of their mentality, their makeup, what makes them unique and special. That's something that I really love and cherish."
