017 – S1 E16 – How might we kindle students’ intrinsic motivation for growth and success?

homeroom is an international podcast bridging the education gap between the classroom and the living room by starting conversations impacting the next generation. In this episode, I speak with Leah, a mom, entrepreneur, and personality coach based in Singapore about her experience traveling from Malaysia to Singapore every day to attend school, and how the fear and punishment based education system impacted her relationship with making mistakes. I wanted to understand how Leah’s perspective attending school in Singapore, a country that is often touted for its amazing education system, affected her life and career trajectory, and how it influences how she parents and educates her own children now.
