In this special, quick and easy episode, Adele hands the mic to guest Dr LJ Ducksbury, who shares a deceptively simple but powerful idea: before you worry about pupils, staff or parents, you have to manage your own state. Dr Ducksbury walks through a three-part “state triangle” made up of physiology, focus, and language to transform how you show up in classrooms, meetings and beyond.
