#ibgc2023 wrapping up the day at the IB global conference in Adelaide with the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion panel discussion. “Curriculum should be both a mirror and a window”. How do we honour children’s uniqueness, diversity and inclusion in all that we do?

Anyone keen to join me for this? Register online… Conference places are filling fast… great to see such strong interest. Can’t wait!

When we stick to the process, short-term impacts can add up to long-term value.

How might we … such a powerful way to start generating ideas to solve our new questions and tensions.

This looks good…

Narcissistic leaders are threatened by talent. They want to be the smartest person in the room. Humble leaders are drawn to talent. They surround themselves with people who make them smarter. Great leaders grow talent. They strive to make everyone in the room smarter.
