Felecia Prince came from a family of teachers and thought she might want to branch out and do something else. And while she dabbled in various things from marketing to fashion design. But she would ultimately find that teaching provides a creative outlet for all of her passions, and to create an incentive system that got kids of all stripes participating in the classroom. This is a great listen for parents, educators and team leaders on incentivizing others.Find more about Felecia here:https://www.amazon.com/Class-Store-Felecia-George-Prince/dp/1950894037https://www.linkedin.com/in/felecia-prince-2a3303193https://www.instagram.com/designs_by_felecia_/?hl=enhttps://www.facebook.com/felecia.g.prince/The UKnowAdamTsang podcast spotlights both veteran and budding entrepreneurs -- especially those local to the Savannah/Statesboro region.
