Teachers are experts in a wide range of skills. However, these skills are often undervalued, under appreciated, and underpaid. Is there a promised land where we can do what we love, and be fairly remunerated for it? I believe so. The opportunities for teachers in the corporate world are vast and largely untapped. This talk will outline a path for teachers to transition from classroom to boardroom.
