Learning For Life —Summit Event Introductions Part 3
Today was an exciting day. I started interviewing guests for the virtual summit event that will be taking place in a couple weeks. That is if everything goes according to plan and there are no glitches!
Today I interviewed Julie Sweet the health and wellness coach that was featured yesterday. We had such a great conversation talking about mental health to stress management to being learning different due to dyslexia.
The second interview today was with Alyssa Hoekstra that works in my hometown running a Distance Learning Center at a local church supporting the learning needs of students while their parents are working.
In Alyssa’s words, “Families have been struggling with hybrid and distance learning models. Anticipating the need, Willmar AG church created a Distance Learning Center to benefit the community. It provides a solution to parents who are wondering how they will work while keeping their kids learning and school work on track. Alyssa Hoekstra runs the Distance Learning Center at the Willmar AG church in Minnesota.”
