Hello Everyone
I am John Tobisch, law teacher, chess coach, lawyer, and writer. In this era of cuts, rapid changes and the destruction of an old order and way of doing things many young people will react in one of many ways. In the Arab world, the younger generation, with its back to the wall, went all out against their oppressors. They reasoned that they had nothing to lose. In other parts of the world youngsters in school are wondering about their future. They see celebrities in sexy cars, wonderful houses and engaging in telegenic relationships. Not everyone has a popular in-demand talent. Therefore it leaves the question: how does one begin to maximise potential in such a daunting and challenging world.
I have taught in many schools in different countries- Jamaica and England- and it struck me that these vital skills and areas of knowledge were not part of the curriculum- soft skills, mindfulness, neuro linguistic programming. Life coaches were not around in the 70s and 80s. Many students may have excellent grades in school but simply do not understand the need to cope in the harsh competitive world out there with an array of skills for inter action. So I would like to encourage everyone to simply read on soft skills, impression management and neuro linguistic programming.
Bless you.
