I was trying to demonstrate pen-ended questions in a live conversation moment, where we just tried to practice dialogue maintenance. On the way, we discussed personal examples of meaningful work, the prison of moving to a wealthy country, and the artistic spark and play that so many people have. How did I do?
In comparison, you can measure me against this following TED Talk.
I am an internationally and domestically (Canada) experienced educator and writer who impacts people’s lives by helping them bridge social barriers through language and concept education, and professional teaching and learning opportunities. But more than this, I want us to be encouraged to inhabit fully the Kingdom of God.
My educational background includes formal training in Philosophy and Metacognition, Linguistics, Religious Studies, History, teaching certification, and ESL practice. But it also includes many years of travels/residence throughout North America, East and Southeast Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, and Northern Europe. Within this has been the study of other languages with various proficiency, and and intimate awareness of Zen meditation studied in South Korea.
Importantly, I am a husband and a father, and in those roles and others, I have a wide reach of connection in various international communities.
