Devotional (Teaching):

Good day and welcome to Day 2 of your journey to increasing your level of effectiveness.

Do you remember your favourite teacher? I remember this English teacher I had in my elementary school. She was cool. She had cookies in her class. Her class was usually fun because she would have toys and drawings to illustrate her lessons. We all just used to look forward to that class because she didn't just teach us English, she went above and beyond in bringing that class to life. She added value to us.

This was many years ago, and I still remember my amazing English teacher.
