Show Notes

In this episode, Nilda, an inspiring teacher in Puerto Rico, is a great example of what the Spirit of Teaching is all about. Listen to her story and her powerful metaphors that capture the true heart of teaching and the real value of teachers to our society and to the world. Her passion is contagious, her insights are inspiring and her heart is full of love, hope, positive encouragement and an undying dedication to a profession she feels is noble, honorable and undervalued in so many ways. If any teacher is looking for an uplifting, validating and loving conversation about their true value as a teacher and the difference they make every day in this world, THIS is the episode they will want to listen to over and over and over again (hopefully, despite the poor audio quality!)  Nilda and I had some technical difficulties with the recording that were not evident until after our conversation had finished. Please allow grace and forgiveness for the poor quality of the recording, which I felt I could not ask a teacher to do over because of the value of her time and the value of what she shared from her heart through very authentic, passionate words. Thank you for listening and for encouraging others to listen and subscribe.
