Bored in school? Is your kid an entrepreneur?
I love TED talks and this one by Cameron Herold is thought provoking.
Bored in school, failing classes, at odds with peers: This child might be an entrepreneur, says Cameron Herold. At TED he makes the case for parenting and education that helps would-be entrepreneurs flourish - as kids and as adults.
An entrepreneur since childhood, Cameron Herold wants parents and teachers to recognise - and foster - entrepreneurial talent in kids. Click here to watch his compelling talk.
I am also delighted to be supporting The National Enterprise Academy a charity founded by entrepreneur Peter Jones. They offer educational programmes to unlock & fuel your child's entrepreneurial talent so go and explore !
Most of today’s teenagers are likely to be found clubbing, shopping, playing computer games or listening to their iPods, but Manchester’s National Enterprise Academy is encouraging them to be motivated and start their own business. Karen Connolly meets two of its enterprising graduates.
