Jerry’s flagship program for education institutions which has been an instrument for change for several Educational Institutions is a powerful, compelling, empowering mission-led Talk and workshop titled “Not Just Teachers- but awakeners, enlighteners and transformers, because teachers can see, touch and change the future of the world, for the better”. Jerry has also partnered with several youth entrepreneur programs in schools, colleges and B-schools as their Mentor-In-Residence to empower students to think entrepreneurship in Engineering and Business Schools through a Lighthouse program called “ABCDE- Anybody can do Entrepreneurship” at Start-Up Fests in Mumbai, Pune, Nasik, Nagpur, Goa, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chandigarh. Many people who attend this program feel a great transformation after this talk and move from being job seekers to thinking of becoming job creators.
It is a personal crusade for Jerry to make Teaching the most respected profession in the world and make Quality Education for All the #1 national agenda for India Jerry believes that schools and colleges should focus not just on building competence but also building character. Talent and Competence are overrated and Character learning is absolutely neglected in the modern education system, especially in our culture. Global research proves that it is character not competence that enables people to achieve the extraordinary and yet educators and parents neglect character and life, leadership and learning2learn lessons.
Jerry always says “It is not expensive education, fancy degrees, high percentage, talent, competence, titles, positions that takes people places and beyond. It is CHARACTER and that is what we don’t learn properly in school, college, homes, community and society. After several years of research and writing, Jerry has created Character Rooted Learning, which empowers children and teachers to understand how discipline, moral intelligence and courage help people to GO BEYOND. He specializes in themes like Leadership, Critical Thinking, Creative Thinking, Innovation, Problem Solving, Public Speaking Skills, Fundraising, Team Building, Out of Box and Lateral Thinking and other Life/People and Soft Skills.
