The Change Starts Here You First Summer Series rolls on, this time with a world-renowned speaker, thought leader and educator with a unique “skin on the wall” – transforming a floundering school into an institution of learning known the world over. Of course, we’re speaking of Richard Gerver, whose work as headmaster of Grange Primary School over the course of just two years drew praise from the likes of UNESCO and the UK government for its ability to reshape the institution from the ground up.Now, Gerver is doing what he told so many of his students to do. He’s following his own ambition to help people across the world expand their perception of their own potential, and he’s doing it through a commitment to exploring “the links between great leadership, human potential, change and innovation.” Gerver and Odham dove into how to continue pouring into students in the face of challenging scenarios, understand the “why” behind their behaviors to help them overcome personal inhibitors in the way of their potential, and leading by concerning yourself primarily with the needs of the people you’re leading. The duo also talked about the benefits of not feeling guilty for “turning off,” as self-care and time to recharge is critical for educators looking to hit the ground running during the return of in-person education this fall. Watch the full episode to hear more of Gerver’s leading insights.
