00:36- About Richard Gerver and his journey.

• Richard Gerver is a sought-after speaker, bestselling author, and world-renowned thinker.
• His career began in education, first as a teacher and then as a school principal, when he turned the fortunes of a failing school and its pupils around in just two years.
• Now regarded as one of the world’s leading thinkers on human leadership and organizational transformation.
• With his unique insight into our development from infants to adults, Richard helps us understand the nature of our personal and professional responses to risk, change, creativity, and development.

09:25- Tell me about your thoughts on the Schools of Tomorrow.

• It’s time to focus on our children’s needs, not our politicians’ whims, to provide a way forward for a new landscape in education. 
• In this rousing call for an educational revolution, we must fight harder for our children’s futures and do it today!
• My vision for a school system that caters for every child; a system that helps nurture self-confidence, self-worth, creativity, innovative thinking, team-working and communication skills – all critical employability skills that children will need in the fast-moving world of technology and information they are growing up in.
• Reforms, tweaks and new policies are not enough – a radical transformation is needed. If you read only one Education manifesto in the next year, this is it!

17:50-Tell me about your book.

•   Education: A Manifesto for Change is a call to arms to inspire all those involved in education to consider how our school system can be fit for purpose in our turbulent 21st-century world. 
•   Change: learn to love it, learn to lead it. The pace of change is greater than ever. We face new challenges every day in all aspects of our lives. Those who can handle change are the most fulfilled. Those who fear change will find it hardest to thrive.
•   Creating tomorrow’s schools todayThis book explores whether our education system is still fit for purpose. Is it preparing our children for this fast-paced environment? Or are we failing our children by leaving their potential unfulfilled?
•   Simple thinking: How to remove complexity from life and work. This book will help you cut through the metaphorical clutter to expand your mind and understand your true potential through the power of thinking.

20:50- What three lessons do you want our viewers to take away from the conversation?

• Think of embracing failure because you learn very little by calibrating something.
• Address human issues and not necessarily solve them through technology.
• Look for the spaces between the buildings because that is where opportunities probably lie.
