#41 - Tom Hall - What Could Possibly Go Right?
In this episode, I’m talking to Tom Hall, Vice President and General Manager of LEGO Education International.
Having previously held leadership positions at Pearson and Penguin Random House UK, Tom is experienced in leading global teams through complex change management programs and creating partnership ecosystems.
As a trustee of AQA, the UK’s leading assessment provider, and a former board member of the British Educational Suppliers Association, it’s no surprise to learn that Tom is passionate about the impact education can make for individuals and society around the world and is dedicated to using LEGO Education solutions to deliver STEAM learning to empower teachers and students.
- In our conversation, Tom shares…
- What he does in order to check out on Friday feeling calm
- What it’s like leading in a cultural melting pot
- And why you’re only as good as the system you’re operating in.
