A Step Forward

With all the different kinds of technologies around us, our phones now play such a huge part in our day to day life. Keeping a few apps that can help us in terms of our work and personal life can really change how we do things.

Being an advocate for someone is not an easy thing to do. We’re often so affected by our fears that we tend to also degrade ourselves in the process. But all that is normal. It’s normal to feel fear, it’s normal to feel anxiety, it’s totally normal to feel all those feelings.

In today’s episode, I will be talking all about becoming a better advocate. I will be sharing why it’s normal to feel those things, especially for my female friends. I will also be talking about how and what you should ask yourself when you find yourself acting or behaving a certain way.

Hop on to the show to take a step forward to becoming a better advocate.

We all know how tough it was, transitioning from being a teen to an adult where you have more responsibilities in life and are expected to be independent as an individual.

Looking past the pandemic, how else can we make things easier for ourselves while constantly increasing the independence of our learners? What if we can put our emotions aside and look at things from a scientific perspective, as heart-centered professionals? Would it be more successful? Telehealth and O&M has been an ongoing topic recently and while some people love it, some people have no care for it.

In this week’s podcast, I’m excited to introduce Joe Nemargut to you guys! Joe is a practising O&M specialist and Assistant Professor at the School of Optometry at the Université de Montréal. He works as a clinician researcher and a teacher at the University where his research currently focuses on remote rehabilitation practices. You will get to hear about the different perspectives that he will be offering because of his background.

Whether or not you agree with Telehealth and O&M, you should definitely tune in to this episode. Hop on now!

It’s January 2022, my friends! This is going to be our year. We all know that during this time of the year, most of us would create a list of resolutions or goals that we wanted to achieve throughout the rest of the year.

In this year’s first podcast episode, I would like to share with you 3 things that you must do in the beginning of the year for you to take steps forward to become a successful teacher. I will also be sharing about how I usually plan for these, which I hope could provide some inspiration and insight when you’re working on your plans for this year as well.
