My Long Lost Love ! My path from Teaching to Coaching to Recruitment.
Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms鈥攖o choose one鈥檚 attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one鈥檚 own way.
When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.Victor Frankl
I secured a Diploma in Teaching education after high school.聽(Later on secured a Masters in English Literature)
聽I was 8 and decided based on my experiences as a student to teach, as I did not want to be like some teachers in school and also because I wanted to be like some of my awesome and motivational teachers.
My Journey - Challenging, exploring, filled with curiosity, learning, understanding, and implementation of lessons learnt.
While training to be a teacher I've had the opportunity to learn from the presentation sisters of Church Park. Nano Nagle is our patron.聽Nano" Nagle founded the "Sisters of the Presentation Convent of the Blessed Virgin Mary" in Ireland and is a pioneer of Catholic education in Ireland. She was declared venerable in the Roman Catholic Church on 31 October 2013 by Pope Francis.
Learning with the presentation sisters made me think about walking into their life of service along with teaching as the crux.
I was 17, my Dad had a major stroke due to his high blood pressure and failure to take his BP tablets on a long bus journey during an office trip.聽They delayed bringing him to the hospital for about 4 hours. This caused some damage and his left side paralyzed.聽A pause in the lives of my mom, sisters, and Dad.聽

Hi Charlene. What positive energy and love I just experienced from reading this. See this is what made me fall in love with this platform and it's people. I had downloaded your podcast last night to listen to it this morning . So refreshing, bubbly and I already feel like I know you so much. Your interview was inspiring. Everything we go through prepares us for something greater and I love the courage you have to say NO when you have to say NO. And that can;t't be to anything our work clients, partners, friends etc etc That's the biggest hurdle to cross and if we can be the wind that passes through these obstacles we can move in so many directions. I think my favorite Deb\ud83d\udc1d Lange, Brand Ambassador @beBee had written something about it this morning. I must find time and read it :) Thank you Charlene Norman I am confident but scared not of failures but then don't we have atleast those experiences to learn from and my biggest lessons were from difficulties :)

I agree with you Ken the teachers who studied with me still in contact now sure do live in their own world. And Oh My you were right about the myriad of questions for which a growing mind seeks answers. I still remember how they had me dumbfounded at some of the questions they'd put forward. Eventually I would love to do that. Sit and be amazed at the questions children these days have and learn along with them. Thank you Ken Boddie Someone once said "Everything we go through in this life is preparing us for something bigger." Have an awesome day.

Thank you Deb. These days it's more about evolving through our experiences than just surviving/existing like we were taught to do. The journey is long but the eyes is on the prize. Thanks for all the support.
