Episode 36 | Nicky Rowbotham | Author, Entrpreneur, Finder Of Flow

On this episode I chat with Nicky about her journey and her book Finding Flow.
From Nicky:
My personal life has been one of great adventure rooted in friendship and a deep commitment to holistic living. During and after a recent health crisis, I dove deeper into understanding how my energy, environment and nervous system impacts my health and have managed to bring healing and wellness back into my life, supported by a wealth of scientific learning and a tribe of incredible women, whom I now call friends. I’ll be incorporating all of this knowledge under Finding Flow, my guide to easeful living.

Episode 35 | Candace Bester | GRIT - Growing Resilience Within

On this episode I chat with Candace about the growing resilience within programme, what it is and the benefits for learner, parents and teachers.
GRIT Growing resilience within is a revolutionary whole school training program. This program equips both teachers and children with a very specific set of skills. Children and teachers who complete this program are far better equipped to ‘roll with the punches.’ The GRIT Growing resilience within program is not a conventional content-based program. This experience shifts the mindsets of the pupils and teachers and they leave with a greater sense of self-love, self-acceptance, tolerance, empathy, positivity and a new zest for life!

On this episode we chat with Josh about his journey and what led to his co founding Be In Touch.
Having completed a degree in psychology, philosophy, and coaching, Josh spent his twenties travelling the world working as a model, actor and later a stuntman.
He has seen first-hand the illusion of the ‘entertainment engine’ and decided to pursue purpose over profit. His broad scope of experience from working in organisational development to holding workshops for teens and tweens, means he always begins with the end in mind, and brings humour and realism to every interaction with adults and children.
 
Keep your children safe in this digital age.

Episode 28 | Oladimedji Ojo | Solve Education, DigitalSkill And Gamification

On this episode I chat with Ola about the work Solve Education does and what they are bringing to South Africa.
Let us tell you a little story. A few years ago, Peng T. Ong was invited to give a speech at the Africa Innovation Summit in Cape Verde. He asked a provocative question: what would happen if we could bypass the industrialization stage of economic development, and jump straight to the knowledge-based economy? It prompted vigorous discussions, but soon, a light bulb went on: we cannot have a knowledge-based economy without knowledge workers! We shifted gears and spent the next couple days discussing the state of global education.
 
After talking, we listed out some of the issues (there are many!):
Today, hundreds of millions of young people face barriers to education linked to poverty, diversity politics, gender, disability, armed conflict, and displacement.
Inadequate access to quality education keeps inequality alive by preventing disadvantaged youth from attaining the skills to take their economic situation into their own hands.
By 2020, 70% of the world will have a basic smartphone and intermittent internet connectivity. The education technology industry sees this opportunity and has responded with lots of new software. However, there’s a problem: the families who can pay for this technology are not the ones who need it most! Even worse, a lot of existing technology is built for users who are already motivated by their communities to learn. When we look at children who already don’t have hope for the future, that approach is not going to work.
We left the Innovation Summit inspired and motivated. These were big challenges, but someone had to take them on. And at the end of 2015, Solve Education! was born.
