This talk demonstrates how Dr. Seon Levius' explores the importance of understanding our purpose in life as a precursor to unleashing students' potential in the classroom. Am I destined for mediocrity if I don't know my purpose? For some people, their faiths help in understanding their purpose. His teaching approach is rooted in students answering five fundamental questions i.e., Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? Where am I from? and What I do? Exploring these five questions with students allows him to help them establish the "why". A strong "why" helps students keep thier head in the game even when they feel like they can't go any further, and it unleashes a fearless determination for them to win. This approach was beneficial during the COVID-19 pandemic as he was able to lift the spirits of his students whenever they seemed broken and disillusioned. It is the idea that every student already has within them gifts to unleash. But this can only be achieved through focus and hard work. Dr. Seon A. Levius is an Assistant Professor of Technology in the SUNY Potsdam Department of Business Administration. He has recently been awarded the Thomas L. and Jane D.
