Deborah Benton: Chasing Stability, Learning to Think, Success in School & Work

In this episode of the Edvolution Podcast with host, Shireen Jaffer,Deborah shares how success was defined for her during her childhood, and how following the path to “stability” led her to a “prestigious” job that got her physically sick. This wake-up call serves as a catalyst for Deborah to re-define success for herself, build confidence within herself, and overcome the need for validation from others. We also discuss her opinions on our education system as she questions what we were taught in school that limits our ability to think for ourselves.
