Challenging work
is any task or role requiring the expansion of
capabilities,
ingenuity, and
entrepreneurial creativity, as well as the
overcoming of previously unencountered obstacles
and the achievement of previously unattained
results.
It often requires
self-leadership, self-motivation, self-coaching,
outside-the-box thinking, creative problem
solving (CPS),
determination and resilience, pushing
individuals to grow both personally and
professionally. |

I'm
addressing big challenges, when it feels
impossible, when I'm
stretching myself and keep going to achieve
a breakthrough."

Joke – a humorous
example of a challenging work
Geography Teacher Solves a Big
Problem Creatively
|
|
|
 |
|
A
new geography
teacher came to school.
Before the first lesson, his
colleagues warned him that he
had an extremely disobedient
class, and that not a single
teacher had ever managed to
force the students of this class
to sit and listen during a
lesson.
The new teacher replied that he
could handle it and went to teach the lesson. |
|
| |
|
The
other teachers laughed at the newcomer's naivety and stood outside the door to
listen to the students boo their new colleague.
After
the teacher appeared, the din in the classroom, as expected, did not subside at
all. Then the teacher was heard to say something, after which the naughty
students instantly became quiet and listened carefully to the teacher until the
very end of the lesson.
In the
teachers' room, colleagues surrounded the new geographer and asked what he said
that made the disobedient students instantly shut up and start listening to the
teacher.
