Bring back creativity into education

The FRANK Team is at its core an education & training company - when you strip it back to bare bones. We have a strong desire and passion for real, creative and frank eduation & training, with a particular focus on young people and young entrepreneurs.

We were recently alerted to a fabulous piece that rings the bells on bringing back creativity (and that entrepreneurial spirit) into education. Thank goodness. We so often see young people struggling with the idea of :"what do you really want to do in life" or "being enterprising and creative in your thinking" when all they are concerned about are marks at schools. We created The Frank Team because we could see that young people were not getting access to really good life skills and innovative thinking that will help them create great lives. We loved every word of this eloquent and very humourous piece, and so wanted you to enjoy it as well.

Watch and then answer:
How did you discover your true talent?

After some reflection I have seen that my true talent is teaching. I never really "discovered" it, but more found that it came very naturally to me and was something I had been doing and enjoying for a long time. And when I combine that teaching ability with my creativity and entrepreneurial spirit you get The Frank Team - which is a company that provides creative education solutions that inspire and empower people to make their career, business and community goals a reality. Our authentic, fun and innovative skills training, guest speakers and resources are especially designed for young people and corporates. So I get to use all of my true talents!

So we ask teachers and curriculum writers to take up the challenge as well - to bring back creativity into education, NOW!

Let us know what your true talent is!

Job Satisfaction

A recent article by Ross Gittins in the SMH outlined three different approaches to job satisfaction.

1. Job - done for nothing more than a pay cheque.

2. Career – achievements are marked through money AND advancement, involving a deeper personal investment in what you are doing. Promotions are accompanied by more prestige and more power, as well as more money.

3. Calling/Vocation- a passionate commitment to work for its own sake. There is little regard for money or promotion, as the work is fulfilling in its’ own right.

Here at The Frank Team, we think we’ve found our calling! As entrepreneurs, we create the opportunity to follow our calling. We’d love to hear from you – job, career or calling and why?
