Speaker: Diana, Lelandia.com
Please introduce yourself - what is your name, location, and occupation?
Diana: Hello, everyone. My name is Diana and I'm from Barcelona. I am actually busy with different projects. I have ongoing my personal projects on ESG factors on young entrepreneurs, let's say my own course and on women generation where I support women, young women in their career growth. And in parallel all my life, I've been also working in different start ups helping them grow. I am a very, let's say, active promoter of responsible growth of the business at different stage in a different scale. And currently I am chief growth officer also at one Dutch Digital Bank. But today, let me tell you about my experience with the Kidpreneurs Academy since 2021. I've been following the evolution of Kidpreneurs Academy and it has been a very interesting journey I might say and after several years of reading all newsletters, communicating with Sylvia and seeing how this super net helpful network growth made me take a decision to join forces with them and combine my young entrepreneurship with social and environmental impact with the Kidpreneurs Academy approach. And I just completed this amazing course and it was nothing short of transformative. I might say the course is fascinating and insightful, presenting complex concepts of for, for young minds in a matter manner that it is both engaging and easy to understand. The materials provided are comprehensive. And what I love most is that the content approach is not only grasp the theory, but also one can apply it practically, which I find incredibly valuable in both courses and books. What sets this course apart? And for several years, I've been engaged with different similar courses in different languages. So what sets this course apart are the instructors and supporters, Sylvia and Ben in my case And additionally, of course, to a very motivated Adam's story, their expertise and passion for fostering entrepreneurial spirit among young minds were evident in every interaction. They were exceptionally supportive, always available to clarify doubts and provide guidance, making the learning journey, smooth and enjoyable. And I love that both Sylvia and Ben are open enough to hear my ideas, how I wanted to adjust the course to my project's mission. This course has equipped me with the necessary knowledge and tools to contribute to raising a mindful generation that values both planet and people that is very important to me. And I'm immensely grateful to Sylvia Ben and to the entire Kidpreneurs Academy team for their dedication and hard work because that's really hard work. I look forward to continuing this journey together, making a positive impact on the world. One young Kidpreneur at a time. Thank you very much.
Could you share a few details about your overall experience with the program so far?
Diana: it has been a very positive journey. I love the split on adventures modules and the storytelling approach through three pigpreneurs from the outset. The curriculum was well structured, blending theoretical knowledge with practical applications. And the content was not only interesting but also highly insightful, making complex ideas accessible and engaging. I loved mostly how concept complex concepts are explained like easily and not only explained but also practiced through different exercises throughout the whole course. And about the support, obviously I already mentioned in my previous video, it has been exceptional. yeah, only positive feedback.
What are some of the key benefits or features of our Kidpreneurs Certified Educators program that you found most valuable?
Diana: Talking about the benefits of Kidpreneurs Certified Educators Program. I can say that discovering new teaching techniques, especially those focused on fostering entrepreneurial thinking and problem solving skills among young learners is something which I can highlight the program's innovative approach to education which blends traditional with modern principles. has enriched my teaching tools enabling me to offer a more dynamic and relevant learning experience to my future students. What I loved a lot is useful tips. So for both in person and online teaching styles and approaches and what saved time was the way the courses build that you can anytime go back, anytime pause and kind of like adjust to your rhythm to your path. And you can even kind of have this flexibility on readjusting modules and start where for example, maybe yeah, where you feel like you need to start. Yeah, it's not so strict, it's so flexible that you can play with the modules, you don't need to strictly follow them. And another benefit which I really see is that you can also create different type of courses you can create just one week course workshop, you can create three months course, you can create one year, full long cour course for schools. And you can really play with the content provided the way it suits you best. And that really saves a lot of time.
What advice would you give to parents, educators or entrepreneurs who are interested in becoming a Certified Educator?
Diana: the about advice which I would give to parents, educators or entrepreneurs who are potentially interested. Well, first of all, you need to know why you want to do this, right? In my case clear that first of all, there is, I see a lot of lot of missing let's say in, in traditional education system, our kids and we are not taught a lot of unnecessary skills, which we, we would be, we would use if we would train them and create right habits as kids out of them during school years rather than when you're already adult and learning about those new skills and practicing and them when you're adult already either in the university or at work. So there is a lack of let's say edu from educational perspective, there is a lack of right educational tools and skills which schools are missing out around the world. I would say from even if your kid will not become an entrepreneur, but the skills which your kid will train, will learn about and the habits which are promoted within this course, are essential for any any person, any adult, it doesn't matter whatever he or she is dedicating. Right. So, from this is from one side, from another side, obviously raising awareness about our existing main issues on a social level like equality, diversity and inclusion. These are essential, also concepts for the kid to learn as a kid. So that it's something natural that he or she grows with next to taking care of planet and be aware that every single action as a human being and as a professional leaves an impact on on the planet. So this is also from from this side, it's much easier and more important already to work on these concepts from from the beginning of a kids' journey rather than what is happening now that we are kind of like trying to change the adult mindset, which is much more difficult to do if I were to summarize my expert, my experience in a few sentences, I would say that Kidpreneurs Certified Educators program is a journey of discovery growth and impact. It offers as I already mentioned, right? Blend of practical tools, innovative teaching methodologies and supportive community that together empower you to inspire the next generation of leaders and innovators or just human beings, whatever the person kid will become, doesn't matter what kid will learn on this course will help in any case. And for any parent, educator or entrepreneur looking to make a difference in the educational landscape and in the lives of young minds, this program is an available opportunity. So go for it.
How does it feel to be a Kidpreneurs Certified Educator?
Diana: How does it feel? Well, so far, I'm like almost five minutes Kidpreneurs certified educator. It feels good because I'm, I feel empowered. I would say I feel empowered because I got access to really powerful tools which can make a difference in what I've been doing so far. So, thank you for the opportunity.
