Hear what teachers are saying...
RE: Leigh St John – Author
To Whom It May Concern:
I am a current teacher at (available upon request) High School with a Masters in Education Administration and Supervision.
Recently, some of my students had the privilege of working through Leigh’s book and experiencing her personal coaching. As a teacher who truly cares about the well-being of the whole student, the results were more than gratifying.
Some of the students became engaged in a new way and asked questions that demonstrated they were actively exploring their opportunities. Some of the students came out of their shell and shared personal stories and poems they had written. Every one of the students was motivated by the experience.
The careers’ guide, “What Do I Want To Be?” is a wonderful resource and I * LOVE * it! What it does for our students is guide them by asking insightful questions to help them find the answers within themselves.
I have known Leigh for a short period of time; however, during our time shared, I have experienced her positive rapport with my students as well as people of all different ages. My students truly enjoyed her inspirational, motivational personality.
She has taught at one of the world’s top business schools, been a successful entrepreneur and yet came from a very disadvantaged upbringing. That “eclectic background” as she calls it gives her an ability to relate to the students because she knows where they are at and what they can be, no matter their current circumstances.
Leigh is extremely organized, efficient, and competent. Her resume is very impressive and she is able to share that wealth of knowledge and experience through the book and in her presentations. No matter what the circumstances are Leigh has a positive and encouraging attitude. It is for these reasons that I offer a high recommendation for her and for her book without reservation.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Cheryl M. Burns

Help us Help Our Students!
Hello, my Friend! We have a big, hairy, audacious goal of getting the careers guided journal (workbook) "What Do I Want To Be?" into the hands of 100,000 kids who really need it to help them increase their confidence and discover their passion. ...and to do that, we need your help! This e-book is 176 pages of information, activities and more! Order Now!
PLUS, we are donating 50% of all profits from every book to theCaring 4 Kids Foundation, serving homeless and in-need children. These kids are very close and dear to my heart – not simply because I was once one of them, but also because unless we become part of the solution, the only thing they will know is poverty and low self-esteem, and that’s what they will pass on to their own children when they are older – and by default through in-action we produce an entire generation of people who don’t know the love and power of discovering your passion, following your dreams and living an inspired life. So, along my journey of focus on being part of the
‘solution’, I wrote a book called “What Do I Want To Be?” that helps teens and twenty-somethings discover
their passion and increase their confidence.
What Do I Want To Be? Is a careers guide structured in journal format to enable teens and college students to increase their self-confidence, discover their passion for life and inspire them to truly believe they can achieve their dreams!
Rather than tell students what they could or should do, inspirational Australian Author and Speaker, Leigh St John uses the power of strategic questions to elicit answers from within our students, to discover their own answers and their own passions.
While working through the chapters, students simultaneously create a journal/workbook they can reference and use to develop a personal roadmap for life, a solid foundation to build on, and a personally discovered passion for life.
Once students can realize their individual and collective potential, they begin to be more engaged in their school work, their future, and aspire to positively contribute to their lives and their communities.
Are you a Parent? Parents will also find inspiration by being a collaborative partner with their children, supporting and reinforcing their chosen passion. With a common defined goal, parents can now clearly fortify their child’s objectives and proudly enjoy the journey together.
Imagine how empowering it would have been when you were in high school or college to have had the benefit of a resource that helped you work out what you wanted to do with your life.
Rather than lecture to students about what they should or could do, this guided journal (workbook) challenges them with a series of questions and activities to allow the student to discover their own right answers.
“What do I want to be?” will show you how to:
“I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can't find anybody who can tell me what they want.” Mark Twain
Whether you have a vague idea of your passion or no idea at all, “What do I want to be?”will work with you through the process of not only discovering your passion, but also putting into practice the steps necessary to actually live your passion.
