Today, I sit down with Shaneice Thomas, a dedicated educator and resilient leader who turned her childhood trauma into a driving force for positive change. Shaneice shares her remarkable journey from a small-town girl in North Carolina to a principal, and now a leader in a faith-based nonprofit. Her story is a testament to the power of perseverance, the impact of mentors, and the importance of aligning one's career with personal strengths and passions.

Hey friend. I'm Mel, a dedicated educator, ambitious entrepreneur, coffee, and Jesus lover. When it was time for me to explore new horizons beyond the classroom, I was completely certain that God was guiding me towards a greater and more fulfilling purpose,

And now, my mission is to empower you to dig deep and know what options are available when you're ready to transition from the teacher to leader, you're ready to retire and pursue that second career, or you're ready for the challenge of starting your own educational consultancy.

Imagine, working in a career that sets your soul and deepest passions on fire. If you're ready to make that change and pursue a different path in your educational career, then you're in the right place.

Friend, let me show you how to make a change in your life and pursue your true passions with a position that you love while using your God-given gifts and talents to persevere toward your personal and professional goals.

Today on Empowered Educator, we're exploring adult learning and its powerful role in professional development. Join me, Dr. Mel, as we discuss why understanding how adults learn is essential for creating effective training that drives real growth and improvement.

1. Practical Relevance: Always ensure that your training sessions are directly applicable to the participants' jobs. Use real-world scenarios and examples that they can relate to.
2. Integrate Life and Job Experiences: Encourage learners to share their experiences and insights. This not only enriches the learning environment but also helps in building a community of practice.
3. Focus on Goals: Align your training content with the personal and professional goals of your learners. This increases motivation and engagement.
