Challenging #ParadigmX

Challenging #ParadigmX is all about challenging the status quo. I'm a TEDx speaker and I interview fellow TED / TEDx speakers as well as people who could potentially be. My guests usually work on mind-bending projects or challenge the current paradigms. So if you like TED / TEDx you will love this show. You will find out who about the background of my guests, what drives them, and how they contribute to humanity through their work. Some of them share controversial opinions - a common trait for people who challenge the status quo. Although I might not always share their opinion, I believe controversial perspectives are worth sharing. Challenging the current paradigms is, essentially, what drives humanity forward. So if you share this opinion, find out what my guests have to share and subscribe to this podcast.

    Empowering all of us: what are we really good at and how will be ever know - with Marcus Orlovsky

    In this podcast episode we talk about unfolding potential, education and limiting beliefs.  About Marcus Orlovsky Marcus is passionate about education, and really helping young people to find their path.  With a background in finance, real estate and tech, he was heavily involved in designing and building new schools in the UK.  He was advised, and he hoped, that with a new building, education would improve.  Not so.  He came to realise that, after 300 new schools, what was needed was a change in attitude from both teachers and students.  Grades and marks, so loved as a measure of success, is not enough. Ability to learn fast, ability to think, discuss and work as a team is what's needed in society - but there are no grades or assessments.  Soft skills, all so needed in life, tend to be overlooked in schools.  He's now worked with nearly 100,000 students, generally drawn from those less likely to 'achieve' with astonishing success.  The social enterprise Marcus founded empowers students to be inquisitive and seek out their own pathways: to become the pilots of their journey rather than just the passengers.  In his spare time, Marcus hosts a number of TEDx events, has spoken at many, and is asked to speak at major conferences globally. Marcus is a Chartered Accountant and had a major stroke seven years ago.  He delivered the opening keynote for the National Association of Head Teachers' annual conference fourteen days later.
