In this post I would like to write about those teachers...Read More

The Challenge of embracing Challenges – part 1

16 de dezembro de 2017

by Lenora Haranaka

I was looking for an inspiring article about motivation when I came across Bruce Dixon’s entitled ‘The Value of a Cold Shower’. It starts by questioning the kind of expectations we have when we attend the opening keynote at a conference.
