How to ignite and empower children
Soulaima Gourani has always been ambitious, but nobody expected that she would go far in life. In fourth grade her teacher even said that she should lower her ambitions since she most likely would not make it very far because she was a girl, had dark skin and was called Soulaima.
That experience only gave her an even stronger desire to aim higher. She found ways of overcoming these “challenges” and they were not the ways the education system tried to teach her.
During the years she found that there were no correlation between how smart people are and how successful they can become. Her ‘soft’ skills were in high demand.
After ten years of teaching leaders to build, foster, and expand professional relationships, Gourani found that emotional and social skills are more important than any other personality traits and exceeds IQ as the most relevant factor in achieving success in work and in life.
Now it’s time for our children to learn these skills at school.
If you want yourself or your child to become a success and be happy, you should understand that your specialized knowledge must be combined with the ability to collaborate, motivate, and communicate with other people.
