My Portuguese teacher made this claim to me so that we could discuss it and improve language learning. “Of course they do,” was my reply. That answer came automatically, without thinking, as if out of nowhere. As I reflected on this later in my native language, I realized that, indeed, perhaps everyone always knows this,

Since today is September 1, it’s very fitting to revisit the podcast withschool principal Sirje Kautsaarthat was released in June. That’s because I began the podcast recording with Sirje by asking exactly that question: how can we possibly know what skills we’ll need in the future job market?

I have worked with numerous management teams during periods when an organization is growing or sees an opportunity for growth. I’m primarily referring to growth in business volume. There are plenty of techniques for managing this, and they’re relatively mundane; however, the most fascinating aspect of this growth is the psychological growth and the theme

After all, that same model carries over to school (where there’s a maximum

I was hoping it would go away on its own, but of course it didn’t. I finally made it to the dentist, and it turned out I needed a root canal. Not just pain relief or a quick fix for a surface cavity, but actually going all the way down to the root and cleaning
As I constantly meet with clients online, I realize just how much I enjoy this work. Every time, both the client and, of course, I myself gain new insights and make progress in life! So, let me know if I can be your companion on this journey! Those of you who have been following me
