Danny Brassell is on a mission to bring joy back into the
classroom and the workplace -but when he grew up hating reading, his challenge
to change the narrative is greater than he expected. Can he get struggling
students to choose to read and use reading as their passport to the world? Or
will his mission remain unselected?
Life is a choice.
My special guest is Danny Brassell
Danny Brassell, a passionate educator and speaker, has dedicated
his life to reigniting the joy of reading in children and adults alike. Through
his experiences as a teacher in inner-city schools, he realized the importance
of fostering a love for reading and has since made it his mission to help
people from all walks of life embrace the written word. Danny's expertise
extends to training parents and teachers on engaging reluctant readers and
using speaking to grow businesses. As a strong advocate of positive social
media use, he also works with CyberSmarties, a platform that teaches children
how to use social media responsibly.
This is Danny Brassell's story:
In a world where digital entertainment dominates daily life,
Danny Brassell saw a fading love for reading among children, especially those
in disadvantaged communities. With a personal mission to bring joy back into
education, he realized the need to foster children's passion for reading beyond
the classroom. Danny found inspiration from his own childhood when he
discovered that his librarian father instilled a love for literature in the
family. As a speaker and educator, he now helps parents and teachers engage
with struggling and reluctant readers by connecting them to books that align
with their interests.
