Margarita Marrero, Associate Director of CARE Coaching at WCEPS, discusses the positive impact of shifting from a deficit to an asset-based mindset regarding language. She emphasizes that language is not a barrier but a valuable cultural tool in the growth and learning process. Margarita suggests that understanding these mindsets is essential for effective education and coaching.
