Birthday & Business Card…

Great birthday present for me today, we ordered my new bike jacket at Revs Paeroa and gave out my first new business card…

At Revs Paeroa, whose point of difference is their MOTORBIKE GEAR FOR WOMAN, I met one of those out-of-the-box thinkers who is about to start teaching at Tokoroa High School.

We had a brief discussion around Neurodiverse and the new Corequisites for NCEA and SAC (Special Assessment Conditions)… It reminded me of my last visit there where I met Principal (the very humble Mr. William Ford) with a parent of the school and took a photo with some of their staff.

BTW, Great birthday present for me today, we ordered my new bike jacket at Revs Paeroa.

Opinion: we do not have a teacher shortage, we have a management overload.

Solution: Put Learning Support Coordinators back in to schools as Brain Coaches, working with the neurodiverse & neurolinguistics (e.g. Teachers with DYSCO’s solutions of course). Along with putting RTLBs back into schools as Wellness Coaches (e.g. Teacher Aides with neuro-semantics training).

In action: Te Kõpuku High (Hamilton) has a Brain Coach and a Wellness Coach.

How to:

Work smarter not harder and use ‘F’ words more often…

Fun with Friends, Family & Whānau

What we do and why?

Always there to hold my hand, encourage and help me through the good times and the not so good times… including (pic) being the first in my family to graduate at university (Educational Studies Degree that got me into teaching)…
My Grandparents.
I carry you both close to my heart always in the locket that my Nanah wore every day of her life, since my grandad brought it for her when they were courting… back in the day.
My Grandad had a band (pic). He was the drummer and played with (as the backing group) some pretty famous singers during the war.
OMG… guess that made my Nanah a groupie… hahahaha!
Love them both and carry them with me everyday…. close to my heart.

NOTE: 2 out of 3 entrepreneurs and 2 out of 5 self-made millionaires have this superpower/genius gene!

As a qualified primary school teacher, I work 4 days a week at a local High School as The Brain Coach. Here I help our future parents (students) with my secrets to success by accelerating their engagement, learning and achievement. On Fridays, weekends and school holidays, I work from home (Rototuna Road), doing the Dyslexia ADHD Dysnomia (like the doctor link below) SUPERPOWERS assessments and proven solutions i.e. I give learning tools (like ‘tools of the trade’) to use at home and school. With instant and rapid results, I am noted for my success. See Testimonials www.happytalk.nz (please be aware that Happy Talk Trust runs DYSCO (pronounced disco) Dyslexia training and solutions)

So…

If your child is like my electrician, plumber and hairdresser (to name but a few), you have a skilled professional with ~~dyslexia~~ superpowers.

Just like the best teachers I know, and other academic professionals such as lawyers and this doctor (link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rudiKGY1k68)

Please be aware that:

*** Research shows dyslexia aka superpowers are hereditary.

50% chance of having it if one parent has it, 100% if both.
25% chance if 1 grandparent has it, and I work with a lot of grandparents.

*** The SUPERPOWRS assessment & solutions to unlock ability is backed by 2021 Neuroscience (brain) research.

*** ADHD can be of the

1. brain (appears to take time to respond) or
2. body (appears to need to move all the time)

***HELP is available *** PM/DM me with a few details (age, school, strengths and struggles) and let’s book a FREE 15 minute phone call to see if we are a good fit and we can take it from there. Or email: andria@happytalk.nz if you prefer.

Parent training is also for potential parents (aged 10-24) to ensure that history does not repeat the battles that youths and rangatahi have had in their early years at school and in life.

5 Years ago – WOW
(From Facebook)

So humbled to be asked to do a maths workshop for the Kura (Maori speaking schools). In awe that teaches had to be turned away because there was not even standing room left at my workshop! Even though it was “the graveyard” shift (last session of the 2 day conference). I am blessed. Sooooo living my dream.
