... because we have been trained to mainly use the left side of our brain... Our current education system is starving the right side of our brain. It is also disconnected from the most vital organ in our body, the heart, which by the way contains the word "art". 

How do we educate our children in ways that inspire as well as support them to express their full potential? 

Our world is continuously changing, yet the education system has barely changed since the Industrial Revolution. 

Imagine you have the newest computer and are still using the very first operating system. Often you cannot even use a system that is several years old because it is no longer being supported. 

Sometimes the computer or laptop will not even allow you to update to the latest system because the developer deems your gadget too old. 

Yet, when it comes to our education system and preparing our children for their future they are still learning content that is either irrelevant or taught in rather outdated, boring and top-down ways.

As a human potential coach and mother of teenagers, I am very concerned about how public as well as private schools often fail to care about our children's physical, emotional and mental well-being.

I have met amazing teachers and a few school leaders who have a positive and inspiring impact on their students. 

However, overall the education system itself is limiting and outdated. It does not need more gadgets in the classroom.

It needs more creativity, collaboration, connection, inspiration, compassion and explorative discovery. 

How can we support children to thrive and teach them to trust their gifts and capacities instead of pressurising them with more expectations, pushing them harder and telling them they are failures? 

We are multidimensional beings who learn in many different ways but have been taught and trained to "starve" so much of our potential. The right side of our brain has more or less been put to sleep. 

What would happen to your body if you only used one side of it? 

How would you walk around if one side of your body was asleep?

The majority of us thankfully have two feet, two legs, two arms, two eyes, two ears and a brain with two halves  - left and right. Why is our education system focusing only on the left side of the brain? 

Have you noticed that STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) has changed to STEAM (Harvard etc) years ago, yet many schools and universities still focus only on STEM? The "A" stands for "Arts" - the right side of the brain.

So, how do we solve problems creatively (right side of the brain) and mindfully when we have never learnt how to do that?

It does not matter if those problems are affecting us on an individual, collective and global level. 

Do we want to continue trying to solve the problems with the same type of mindset that we used to create them? 

If we want to create a more harmonious, compassionate, collaborative, creative and abundant world for everyone, we have to start changing the education system. 

A new educational system is on its way. Are you going to join it? 

A small step can turn out to be a quantum leap. (M.Power)

What drives me to dedicate my time and passion to education? 

My love for learning and children.

Barely anything or maybe nothing has changed since I went to school. Yet, the world has substantially changed. We are continuously evolving in so many ways but have failed to bring the education sector along on that journey. 

As a mother, it was extremely difficult for me to witness when my children entered school, that they faced the same kind of environment and challenges that I had encountered as a child. 

I learned through my children as well as spending time with other children that they are naturally curious and have an immense willingness to learn. 

Schools tend to crush the development of our children's full potential rather than support them to learn how to express it. 

Life skills are not taught in school. Even a subject like psychology will teach them abstract theory but not show them how to reflect on their own challenges and find ways to overcome them in life. 

I only discovered in my late 30ies and 40iest my love for learning and my constant curiosity about how the world works or could work better.

I managed to reconnect to that "child in me" that was crushed at an early age while equally accessing an abundance of lifelong experiences and wisdom. 

There was a moment in my life when I felt I had to take that step and start sharing it with other parents, schools, teenagers, children and the world in general.

I could no longer be part of an outdated system which created more problems than it was helping to solve them. 

It was impossible to stand by and watch how yet another generation was being shut down and disconnected from their potential, joy, creativity and brilliance.  

Admittedly I had to do some soul searching as I had spent a lot of time working in coaching and therapeutic settings. 

By no means was my own journey easy. On the contrary, it was filled with extreme challenges on many levels and I had to learn a lot along the way. 

A big focus in my life was on my children. I wanted to ensure they felt safe and supported on all possible levels, as many parents do.

Knowing that the outdated systems don't give space to children's needs and wants, I wanted to contribute to changing that. 

I love being around creative and curious energy, filled with questions, exploration and the capacity to be so deeply focused on the experience that track is lost of time and space = children, teenagers and adults who are truly connected to themselves and the world around them.
