FC 017: The Immortality of Influence: Helping Children Reach Their Full Potential - Guest: Salome Thomas-El (AKA Principal El) (August 8, 2010)
Every adult has the power to be a positive influence in the lives of the children we live and work with. To offer less is to miss an opportunity to help a child reach his/her full potential. In this podcast I talk with Salome Thomas-El (aka Principal El), nationally recognized educator and author of "The Immortality of Influence: We Can Build the Best Minds of the Next Generation" (Dafina Kensington 2006).
