In this episode you'll meet Pamela Thompson, a professional facilitator who lived and worked in Afghanistan for a year to help the Ministry of Public Health develop their first strategic plan.

Hear all about it, including how she manifested the opportunity, what the Afghan people were like, how she navigated the language barrier, how she stayed safe in such a volatile environment, how she managed the stressful conditions, and how she knew at 4 years old that she was destined to work internationally someday.

As a bonus, the facilitation process and strategies that Pamela used with the ministry may also help your team or organization improve business results, teamwork, and efficiency.

Rachel also shares a little bit about her British background, where she thinks she got her love of travel from, and her tips for traveling internationally.

Story Junkies Podcast - It's Time to Shake Up Our Educational System
play

10/27/21 • 70 min

In this episode you'll meet Komal Shah, who was on the path toward a career in healthcare until a trip to India unexpectedly changed her life. On a whim she applied for and was accepted into the Teach for America program, an organization dedicated to expanding opportunities for low-income students. The experience was life changing.

In addition to hearing about what being a new teacher in a school located in an underserved community was like, we also get into a fascinating discussion around the educational system itself, where it's missing the mark, how socioeconomic status heavily impacts its effectiveness, and how we can do better for our kids to nurture their love of learning and help them redefine what success in life looks like.
