Here on The Independent School Podcast we're passionate about the positive impact of education. In this episode I speak with Clementine Brown and Eliana Sleiman from CodeBrave about partnerships between schools in the UK and Lebanon.

Over the last three years, the percentage of the Lebanese population living under the poverty line has risen from 28% to 82%, and they are now experiencing 50% youth unemployment. CodeBrave is a not-for-profit organisation that seeks to power Lebanon’s next generation with tech skills, helping young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to lift themselves out of poverty.

CodeBrave does this through providing classes and boot camps in coding, robotics, AI and web development, both in-person and online. They are leading thinking on integrating STEM education with trauma psychology and their approach to the teaching of essential soft skills alongside digital coding skills is inspiring.

Take a listen and hear how CodeBrave’s partnerships with UK independent schools are successfully combining Global Citizenship Education and making a positive impact.

Our guest, Dr. Donald Addison II, has the true educator's spirit. He inspires us to think about leading and supporting change not just with data (qualitative) but also with our mind and hearts (quantitative). Join our conversation to discuss communcating the vision and celebrating the wins. We talk about Six Sigma and Intervention Conversations like Conversation Cafe & World Cafe.

Let's talk about life and learning. Visit us at www.teacherpeprally.com  

We live in a dynamic world. This is one opportunity for introverts to shine. You're analytic, a deep thinker, and can process large amounts of data. You notice it all. Because of this, you likely see changes coming before others. It's what you do once you notice the change that makes all the difference...

Notable Quotes:

“I will tell you, if you really want to understand a company’s values, pay attention to what they’re doing right now. If they really are living their values, they’re living them now. They’re living them in times of difficulty, in times of financial struggle. This is when you see what companies are made of. ”

“I’m very aware of the fact that my experience as a female person of color is very different than that of a Black man, or different than a white female. We all have different experiences that we bring to the table and my job, as a leader and as a person, is to respect those differences and to invite them. And to ask questions to understand. And to love people regardless of all of those things. So that’s what I strive to do; that’s how I try to show up.”

“As you continue to grow in your career, you start specializing and niching down. You know longer think, ‘I can do all of these things!’ Instead, your messaging is very tight. Your brand is very tight about what it is that you do and what it is that you don’t do.”

“I’m a huge believer in the definition of luck - luck is when preparation meets opportunity. And the reality is that that preparation is all about you and how you’re willing to invest in yourself, in your career, in the growth opportunities that you challenge yourself with in order to be ready for that next career opportunity. Because if you leave it in your company’s hands, then it’s going to be about when *they decide you’re ready and they’re willing to invest in you. Why would you give anyone that kind of power over your career?”

“As individuals, we have to take accountability for investing in our own careers.”

“The definition of Change Intelligence is: the awareness of our style of leading change, and the ability to adapt our style across people and situations… People tend to lead change from four different focus areas -- Head, Heart, and/or the Hands...”

“The more options we have, the more power we have.”

“What looks like resistance is really a powerful source of information that we can use, as change leaders, to change the only think we can, which is ourselves -- to reframe what looks like resistance from our enemy to our ally.”

“Relationships get results.”

“Change is threatening when done to us, exhilarating when done by us.”  -Rosabeth Moss Kanter

“The higher you go in any organization, the harder it is to get any feedback at all, let alone real time and actionable feedback.”

“What you see depends on where you sit.”

Those who sense a divine call to follow a path that the Lord asks them to go on will face opportunities to quit or deviate. The struggle to stay the course and follow what the Lord asks is real. Today, Tim and Todd talk about how to protect the call from both internal and external distractions that can cause us to drift off course.

In ministry circles leaders can fall into the trap of a narrow view of the God's call, how it comes about, and what role they play. Today Tim D Ware and Todd Barham talk about the breadth of God's call to humanity and the role leaders can take that will advance the kingdom further and faster.
