Hi, Sarah.
I’d love the opportunity to talk about podcasting – both ways. I host the back2different podcast and I enjoy yours. I know Jeff from the Friendship Bench and because we’re both passionate about the necessary transformation of our schools. I published Learning Chaos: How Disorder Can Save Education in 2016 and just launched the Humanity at Work Foundation, a pro bono project (with a book) to provide a conversation for reforming our expectations about work.
So that’s the short of it 🙂
I’d love to talk.
My email is [email protected], my phone is 410-693-0701.
Be well.
