Rich Kids Made Simple - The...

Joe Correa

This audiobook will teach you the five most powerful money rules in the world that will change your kid's financial world forever. Financial education is not about teaching kids how to get what they want, it is about teaching them how to get what is worth having. What are your kids learning in school? Are they learning about saving, planning, investing, or becoming leaders? Are they learning how to start their own business or how to become good employees? Are they learning how to manage credit or to accumulate credit card debt? Are they learning how to solve their financial problems or simply accumulate debt until they go bankrupt? Are they learning how to save on taxes or to pay as much taxes as possible?
You should think about what your kids are learning every day, because they will grow up fast and the opportunity to help them to become financially prepared will be gone.
Own your future. Own your life. Own your money. Most people live their lives with money as their master. Money tells them to go to work. Money makes them get out of bed. Money even makes them lose their hair, gain weight, and stress all day. Should your kids go through the same money problems most adults go through? Should they have to suffer the consequences of a missed education? Why not invest in their future by helping them learn to lead a fulfilling financial life?
There are things in life you will have to deal with sooner or later and money is one of them. Learning to manage money will have a profound effect on your kid’s future potential. Waiting for them to grow up to teach them what needs to be done financially is too late. Start now if you want to make a real difference in their lives. Who knows, maybe they’ll grow up to become the next billionaire.

Everyone's a Teacher - A...

Maria Doyle

Whether you're helping your child tie shoelaces, your gran with her new phone, or a boardroom of executives, if you have knowledge or skills that someone else doesn’t―and you want to help them learn―you are a teacher. To be human is to teach, so the question is: what kind of ‘teacher’ do you want to be? We’ve all been taught by someone who bored us to tears―and many of us were lucky to have teachers who made learning fun and memorable. If you’re a Gen Xer or Boomer, chances are you were taught in a ‘sit down and repeat’ style classroom. And unless you consciously choose otherwise, that’s the style you’ll default to. But there’s a better option: a learner-centred environment built on collaboration, communication and discovery. It’s more effective, more engaging―and it shifts the responsibility for learning to where it belongs: the learner. This book distils the foundations of good teaching into four core pillars and shows how to make learning in any context effective, fun and lasting. Maria’s ‘universal methodology’ is drawn from 30 years of global teaching and facilitation experience. You’ll learn how to: * Connect with learners to unlock their potential * Structure sessions for real engagement * Guide learning without lecturing * And reflect on what works―success or not. Ideal for professionals and subject-matter experts who don’t have a teaching degree (and don’t want to be a ‘Death by PowerPoint’ presenter), this audio-book is a hands-on guide to creating extraordinary learning. Includes a free 30+ page Engagement ToolKit: A Facilitator’s Guide to Breaking the Lecture Habit. All profits support volunteer teacher training in communities with limited access to quality education.
