For inspiration, take a dose of Vicki Hannah Lein
Rarely do scribes meet a person who makes them want to put the pen down and just listen, rarer even are those meetings that make you wish you had brought a recorder instead of the notepad. Meet Vicki Hannah Lein and you feel exactly that, for every sentence she speaks is a quotable quote, it makes you think, introspect and smile. The American motivational speaker is in India on invite from The Achiever8217;s Programme to train teachers on 8216;Discipline with the Brain in Mind8217;. And before you can react with 8216;Oh!-not-another-workshop!8221;, Vicki flaunts her star puppets that support her motivational task and breaks into one of her songs. Her energy, attitude and enthusiasm are infectious. 8220;My goal is that I8217;m gonna have fun, if people want to join me that8217;s great.8221; That coming from a visually challenged person is inspiring enough.
8220;Learn from them how to teach them. Change their talents to pro-social since these children want immediate benefits. It8217;s also important to understand that poverty isn8217;t about money but your vision of yourself. Our system is set up contrary to the way the heart and brain work.8221; Despite the hard words Vicki is all for teachers. 8220;I was one myself so I know the kind of pressure they work under. My aim is to make their job easier,8221; she smiles.
