Creating Tomorrow's Schools Today
Education is the single most important factor which determines the future for our children, our economy, our society and ultimately our planet.
Richard bridges together his experiences as a former award-winning teacher and globally renowned principal with the insights and strategy gained working as a government policy advisor and board member.
He helps clarify the vision, thinking and processes which must be focused on in order to ensure that we, as teachers, administrators, parents and policymakers alike, can develop a system that prepares our young people for a world-class future.
Richard speaks with precision about exactly what skills, behaviours and attributes our children will need to not only survive but thrive in their futures. His education speeches are noted worldwide for their humour, insight, provocations and practical application.
They mirror his first best-selling book: Creating Tomorrow’s Schools Today.
Change: Leading and Sustaining a Culture of Organisational Change
In this session, Richard explores why change and uncertainty are becoming so challenging for organisations. He examines how risk aversion, a need for safety, security and control can stifle and hamper both individuals and organisations.
Richard argues that we must understand why so many of us develop an aversion to change as we grow and how we must learn to change our mindsets and motivations as a result.
He explains that by focusing on developing our people to accept and embrace change this, in turn, will help organisations create a sustainable culture of development where responsibilities and accountabilities are shared, ideas and momentum can spring from anywhere and where traditional hierarchies morph to facilitate self-leadership and real collaboration.
He explores the power of creativity, curiosity and confidence to understand how to embrace change in uncertain times and why we must shift the paradigm to understand that change is not a program or a strategy but is an ever-present in the organic nature of the 21st Century.

About
Hi, I am Dawn Balch. I am from Florida. I am 27 years old. I love to write blogs and articles regarding finance. I am working for a mortgage company. There are a number of things you need to do to get a fair mortgage deal. These are including increase your credit score, pay off most of your debt, save your down payment, find a mortgage broker, buy a home, and much more. But they are of no use without knowing exactly how much credit you can afford because you won't get accepted for the money you need when you can't pay it back to your mortgage company. So, if you want to have a dream home, you need to have an idea of how much you can afford for your dream home. However, mortgage lenders care less about you and prefer homes because they care deeply about your ability to get back what you took from them. You can make use of a “mortgage calculator how much can I afford” to get a basic understanding of how much home loan you can afford.
