Ep6: Doug Lemov (Teach Like a Champion) Creating Belonging in the Classroom

03/15/23 • 36 min

Welcome to the Principled podcast.

In this episode, Matt Hall and Gill Kelly of Making Stuff Better talk to author Doug Lemov about various concepts arising from his book and online community, Teach Like A Champion.
They discuss various topics based around the theme of belonging, including: how the rise of smartphones and social media has led to an increase in anxiety and depression - and why making schools a safe space can help massively; why clicking in a classroom can be a positive reinforcement tool; and why children often value being pushed to achieve things they never thought possible through the high expectations of a coach or teacher.

Ep7 Michael Cahill - Managing Endings

Welcome to the Principled podcast.

In this episode, Matt Hall and Gill Kelly of Making Stuff Better talk to author Michael Cahill from Coaching Constellations about how to best manage the exit process.
They discuss various topics based around the theme of belonging, including: why managing endings is crucial, not just to those directly involved, but also to those remaining who may get a glimpse of their own future; how a sense of belonging can be fostered across multiple organisations and industries; and why an employee's notice period needn't warrant their exclusion from important strategic decision making.
