Music: Solar Flares by Silent Partner 

 

 Description: Joe Truss and I start the conversation off talking about taking care of ourselves so that we can be better leaders. Then we move on to meditation in schools, and then on to what it means to be a culturally responsible leader. The focus is on hearing the voices of the disadvantaged, and power differences for those that are disadvantaged, including students in relation to teachers and adults. “Moving from more equitable to equal.”

More about Jonathan: He is connected to the Centre for Imaginative Research and Cultural Education (CIRCE_SFU) at Simon Fraser University with Kieran Egan and Gillian Judson (@perfinker). In his words:







“Something that changed for me in the last year was reading a book “Run Like a Pirate” by author and speaker Adam Welcome (@mradamwelcome). This created a shift in my mindset about putting my health first and also that we are capable of much more that we think, and it’s not just about running.

Description: “Every Day is a PD Day!” Kelly and I have been connected online for 14 years, starting on a blogging platform called ELGG, which included a number of different educator communities and social networking apps that predated Facebook and Twitter. Although we have never met face-to-face, we have been connected members of each other’s personal and professional learning networks. In doing a little background search, I found this comment from Kelly on my blog, dating back to June 18, 2007:







David, it has been great getting to know you through your blog. I feel that, at times, you were just around the corner and our conversations would pick up where they left off.







Our podcast conversation starts off with a focus on every day being a Personal/Professional Development Day, but it ends on the power of digital networks to develop positive relationships… and great friendships.
