Shelly Terrell
She’s virtually (pun intended) 
no stranger to anyone who is likely to be here, so she doesn’t need any introduction. I’ve patted on my own back several times for having succeeded in getting her to agree to do this interview, and dare I say how?
Well… I tempted her with a case of diet coke, and it was just an offer she couldn’t refuse…

Well, I will confess to a “subtle nudge” to leave a comment, so here it is
I really enjoyed the interview with Shelly, as it helped me learn a little more about where she comes from, and what makes her ‘tick’. I thought “the lady who never sleeps” was quite a quotable (and apt) quote, and I’d like to remind Shelly of the beautiful beaches near where I live … hint, hint, …
Regards from @mgraffin in Western Australia.
Now, I wonder who was nudging you, Mike… I could set some of my PLNers on him. You know, there are quite a few martial artistes among them…
Just keep sending me those beach pictures on Twitter
Any openings in the job market and how’s the Internet connection?
Great interview Shelly and Chiew.
Thanks Joel!
You were a star in your interview with Chiew!
well, a familiar voice from webinars and not only
as I said …”miss collaboration” reveals the secret of success! your passion, Shell, is obvious! don’t know anyone else who could manage to do so many things with just a six hour sleep:)
Chiew! I guess the secret of your successful interviews is ….passion too!
Nora
Did she say 6? I thought I heard 4
Yeah, passion moves mountains, but in my case, I wish I could do a fraction of what Shell does with 4 hrs of sleep; I had 5 or 6 last night, and I’m like a zombie. I’m gonna have to have a nap after lunch 
Or maybe I’m like a zombie because of the challenges I had to go through with editing Shell’s video 
Hi Nora!
Love having you in the webinars. Thanks for watching me ramble and you caught the most important part because I believe when people live in their passion they always make a difference. Many educators do this everyday and plant seeds in their learners. Often we may not see what plants these seeds blossom into because it may be years later but I know teachers make a difference because many care and are so passionate about their profession.
Hi Chiew!
Thanks for the interview and all these interviews! It’s great to learn more about your friends. And you are right I said 4 to 6 hours but often during an especially busy time like now it becomes less. I really appreciate you spreading the word about the Reform Symposium!
So great to hear more about you here – I’ll definitely post this for TESL Toronto’s September event! You are truly a helpful person and very easy to see why through now through your background and education. I love that you used to spit.
Can’t wait to meet up with you, Tyson! Can’t wait to see the fashionable Rocco!
Hi Chiew,
Just posted a link to this on the TeachingEnglish facebook page if you’d like to check for comments.
Please feel to post there directly whenever toy have something you’d like to share.
Best,
Ann
Carte blanche, Ann? Wow! Thanks very kindly!
