A
BOUT TWO YEARS ago one of my closest
friends and I were exploring the nook
and crannies of a quirky bookshop in
Canterbury, when he turned to me and said
“Have you heard about Edward de Bono?” He
was holding a book, called “How to have
creative ideas” which was offering 62
exercises to develop your mind. Silently I
shook my head and shortly my friend said
“This is my special gift to you”. Never did I
suspect that this very book was going to
change my life…
I
N HINDSIGHT I have always questioned my
creative confidence but after doing most of
the exercises in the aforementioned book,
my head was bursting with ideas about new
lesson plans and starting an educational blog.
Soon after that the newsletter “Explore
English with Russie” was born, which
eventually transformed into “Inspirational
English”, the e-zine I have become so very
proud of.
