When it comes to companies aiming to change and improve their social impact, I highly recommend utilizing Empathy Mapping, Power of Alliance, and Assets-based Community Development. These practical tools have proven to be effective in not only assessing but also enhancing social impact strategies. Overcoming challenges such as rejection, skepticism, and legacy issues have been achieved by incorporating these tools into company practices. Through these tools, management has been motivated to initiate their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) journey or a business transformation for social good with achievable objectives. Remember, everyone is looking for what's in it for him / her when comes to change.

Además de conocer los usos locales y saber cómo funciona su cosmología. Es importante, saber qué puedes hacer desde esas circunstancias, desde esas limitantes, pero, también de las oportunidades que ofrece el medio.

Pero, desde que llegué ví una limitante para las prueba externas de los estudiantes de la institución educativa donde trabajo, bajos resultados en las pruebas externas (Pruebas Saber) que hace el Estado colombiano a todos sus estudiantes especialmente a los que terminan la educacion media, siendo un criterio para el ingreso a la Universidad.

Avant même de se fixer des objectifs je pense qu'une question est primordiale: Est-ce qu’enseigner est une passion pour moi ? Cela ne viendra pas forcément dès le début, mais il est important d’avoir envie de transmettre ses connaissances pour être un bon pédagogue.

La cultura y los factores sociales son cambiantes y uno debe conocer esos cambios para responder desde el aula o desde la situación que sea a esos cambios. Trabajo en una zona afectada por el conflicto armado y los cultivos ilícitos y ese era el principal problema a tener en cuenta en muchos aspectos. Los cultivos ilícitos van camino a la desaparición y esto ha generado una gran migración de las familias al no tener de dónde susbsitir. Ahora se trata de mostrar que hay otros caminos económicos distintos a los cultivos ilícitos. Pero el trabajo debe apuntar al cambio de mentalidad y a generar proyectos productivos sostenibles en la idea de que ninguno dará la rentabilidad de los anteriores cultivos y la economía falsa que ellos generaron.

Anytime, anywhere, I always talk about reflection. It is applicable to anything you do aside teaching. But then the focus here is teaching, how do you best enhance your teaching skills to become an impactful teacher. It's to constantly assess yourself, your teaching methods, teaching styles, your instructional materials, the classroom setting and as well your learners' participations. If you take time to reflect on the above mentioned teaching process, then you will be abreast with your teaching progress and able to know areas needing more attention, adjustment, improvement or perhaps the need to be creative and innovative.
