Sharron Lucky: Seven Kinds of Smart
Whether you are one of those lucky people who "hit the ground running" each morning or you wait until that first cup of coffee has had time to wake up your senses, making the most of your talents is imperative. Regardless of which one is your category, you will not want to miss this fascinating program by the dynamic book reviewer, renowned educator, author, model and movie "extra," Sharron Lucky.
Sharron states, "identifying and developing your multiple intelligences is an important pursuit from childhood and from then on. Some of these are often neglected in our culture and it is "freeing" to get a lifetime pass for honoring the intelligence we possess." Based on the pioneering theme of the late 20th Century, credited to Howard Gardner, Ph.D, "multiple intelligences" has continued to shape education and imagination in recent years. Exploring the possibilities at any age is an adventure in celebrating what powers you were innately given. Benjamin Franklin once said, "hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?" Plan to attend and learn how to get your sundial back into the sun.
