According to research from JP Morgan Chase & Co, over 99 percent of America's 28.7 million firms are small businesses. In fact, the vast majority (88 percent) of employer firms have fewer than 20 employees. Preparing your students to be effective employees means preparing them to be entrepreneurs.

We couldn't think of a better time to talk about entrepreneurship and design thinking than during our Month of Intuit, happening now! (https://certiport.pearsonvue.com/Blog/2022/August/Month-of-Intuit-2022) We sat down with CERTIFIED Ambassador and entrepreneurship guru, Christina Deibler, to discuss entrepreneurship and design-thinking education.

Christina Deibler currently teaches Entrepreneurship and Small Business and Project Management to her business and technology students at her alma mater, Wakulla High School in Crawfordville, Florida. Prior to becoming a teacher, she was a business and human resource professional as a Florida State University graduate with a degree in Business Management. She recently chose to change her path and help empower students to reach their goals in life and turn dreams into reality by employing her background in Business Management and Operations, as well as Project Management to help students forge their own path ahead in life.

In this episode, we chat with Christina about the value of entrepreneurship and problem solving skills, plus the intersection of design thinking and entrepreneurship. Christina also gives so project ideas that you can use to spark the entrepreneurial spirit in your classroom.
