If you have followed the show and wondered what shaped one of its hosts, start here. It is for parents worried about a child’s future and educators supporting young people.<\/p>\n
What happens when the person usually asking the questions becomes the one being interviewed? <\/p>\n
In this special episode, co-host Dan Steele, an award-winning school leader and internationally accredited leadership coach, steps into the guest seat. <\/p>\n
He reflects on his own school experience, why he was never overly defined by his final score, and how early setbacks became unexpected springboards. <\/p>\n
Drawing on nearly two decades in classrooms, leadership and coaching (including living and teaching in a remote community in WA), Dan talks about failure as part of growth and the power of relationships in shaping how a young person sees their future. <\/p>\n
It is a window into the thinking behind the podcast itself.<\/p>\n
