We moved away from traditional staff meetings. Instead of everyone sharing updates, we play dodgeball or cook together or learn from each other’s departments. Building trust and connection is more important than sharing information.

Nelima Lassen is the Principal of The International People’s College in Helsingør, Denmark.

In this conversation Nelima and I talk:

* What a Danish Folk School is

* Tracy Chapman fandom

* Core leadership values

* Rethinking staff meetings

* Approach to AI in 2025

* The amount of empathy students show each other

* Bonus: Tracy Chapman performing Fast Car at Wembley Stadium.
