The School Run

I think you'll all agree that Kate has been amazing on the podcast.  I love speaking to her about the topics discussed so far and this week we go into:

Nature vs Nurture

We discuss the role of hard work vs natural talent. Is one more important than the other?

What else is important when our children are growing up?  Should we praise more than just the outcome, so that values such as work ethic as instilled in the children in our care?

We also talk about Matthew Syed's book 'Bounce', Malcolm Gladwell's quote around 10,000 hours and my hero growing up, Michale Jorda, and his attitude to failure.

We put all of this into the context of parenting, teaching and coaching and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we did recording.
