Never become a leader to lead. Become a leader to create change, to solve problems, to improve lives, to develop people, to create positive impact, to challenge inequalities, to fight against injustice, to upset the status quo. But never just to lead.

Something we do really, really well at Mucky Boots is Slow Pedagogy. It just feels right for the children and staff. There's nothing quite like knowing about flow state, experiencing it yourself and seeing it in the children. It's such a powerful vehicle for learning and wellbeing.
If ever there was a perfect time to deliver slow pedagogy, this is it.
I recommend you watch / listen / read / delve.
