    The aspiring Louka Parry

    Thank you for coming back - I appreciate that you are having to wait a little longer for these episodes to arrive and I am very grateful for your patience. This episode is with Louka Parry - educator, ex school principal and now CEO of The Learning Future. We discuss the way the education is not broken, just outdated. We discuss what can be taken up NOW in education that is already available for us to move into the future of learning. We discuss the importance of education, innovation and redefining our generalisation around words such as 'results' when it comes to teaching. So much in this episode, hope you enjoy it. Louka also has his own podcast  so listen here. I reference my discussion with George Couros in this chat - if you would like to listen click here. Make sure you follow along with my on Instagram.

Rachael is no nonsense, yet supportive and compassionate. A great conversation to get me back into the season after an unexpected hiatus.

    Thinking forward with Dr Mary Hemphill

    Dr Mary Hemphill is an educator, a leader and an innovator. Her book 'The One Minute Meeting' is all about actionable ways to increase voice and agency in education in a real (not tokenistic) way. We discuss how she has built self trust, the value of being different as well as how she is constantly upgrading her own knowledge and viewpoint. I love this chat - so many take away ideas that will encourage deep thought. Make sure you listen to her previous chat on the podcast here.

    Sing with Emma Boult

    Emma and I met in 2013 when we taught at a school together. Emma was working part time as a Drama/English teacher while teaching singing outside of the traditional classroom. I have continued to follow along with her journey on socials and was thrilled to see she opened up her own vocal studios in 2021. We discuss the shift of the music industry since the introduction of streaming services. Why she is happier in a coaching role rather than pursuing her own stardom. The importance of following what makes you happy, even if others are concerned for you and so much more. If you want to know more about Emma check out her instagram here

    Teen Whisperer: Kirsten Cobabe

    Have you ever met someone that you have felt so completely aligns with your beliefs that the conversation is effortless? That is what I feel while I have this conversation. Kirsten Cobabe is literally a teen whisperer.  She works with families to support their teen in being heard, held, supported and truly understood. We discuss how she came up with the idea of shifting the paradigm regarding educating and raising our children. What she believes is a deeply empowering space for her. What education could look like as well as so much more. Also - we recorded a live together discussing how to be the 'spark' in the system. Click here to listen. This feels idealistic and hopeful - but we are primed for change post pandemic. Let's dream big!
