Here's the "pilot" of our today's ESC NN Podcast live session :) Watch it or listen to it 👇🏽, as you wish :) (unfortunately, we couldn't see everyone's faces but you can hear everyone anyway :)

Thanks, guys, for joining me - we chatted about teachers to celebrate today's Teacher's Day :)

Here are a few questions we discussed (feel free to answer them as well, in writing or audio, in the comments)
❓ Have you ever had a teaching experience? How did it go? (If you are a teacher, then what your first time teaching was like?)

❓ Tell us about your first (primary school) teacher

❓ Tell us about your best teacher and in what way did they impact you?
And what about the worst one?

Do share your thoughts in the comments 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

And speaking of teaching :)) Happy Teacher's Day to all my fellow-teachers here! Keep inspiring and opening the doors for all the students out there - you never know how much impact you make on them and their lives!

It's #bookquiz time!!! This time I'm going to read not the first page of the first chapter as I usually do but my favorite excerpt from the book 📖

Because this piece doesn't really give away many clues, I'll give you a hint in the form of emojis :)

Hint: 👋🏼🔫

As for the part that I'm reading, it's a really cozy one and I recommend listening to it with your eyes closed and draw those images in your head, imagine the sounds and smells, the views and the tastes ☺️ it makes me feel warmer right away 🫶🏼

✍🏼 What book am I reading?
