From Classroom to Boardroom: Shaping Future Entrepreneurs
Please help me give my students books that aim to inspire and empower the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs. By providing access to these resources, you are fostering essential skills such as critical thinking, leadership, and financial literacy.
Imagine a classroom where students don't just dream of success—they learn how to achieve it. By supporting this initiative, you're providing young minds with a classroom set of business and leadership books, such as Dare to Lead and The First Minute, equipping them with the tools to build their futures. Weekly book studies and discussions will help students connect with real-world strategies, grow their leadership potential, and ignite their entrepreneurial spirit. From professional handshakes and communicating ideas to designing and collaborating, your contribution will help shape the next generation of innovators, decision-makers, and visionaries.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
