The leadership podcast with a twist. As leaders, being open about our most difficult personal and professional experiences has the potential to be transformative. In this podcast, teachers from around the world who have become Founders, CEOs and C-suite level leaders of social enterprises making a positive impact in education, dive deeper than might be typical when discussing a challenge they have worked through. They share something for the soul. This podcast is humanising leadership and demonstrating the power we all have within us to get through life’s biggest hurdles to make positive change in the world. This is a podcast for anyone looking for a nugget of motivation every month. If you are interested in social innovation in any way then this podcast is for you.
