The Story Behind Destiny Benders
We all know each other…well kind of. We meet at conferences, recruitment trips, forums, webinars. But do we really know each other? Do we know how we got to where we are? What motivated us to start a career in international education? What keeps us motivated? Why we do what we do?
We started wondering these things as well. So we decided to start a podcast to meet these inspiring international educators and get to know them. Join us as we share their stories with the world.
