Space to Think

E20. The Pruning Principle with Simon Breakspear


Listen Later

This week, I’m sharing a conversation from the archives of the Changing Conversations podcast. Simon Breakspear was always a popular guest, and his episodes consistently topped our most-listened-to list. In this conversation Simon introduces the Pruning Principle, a powerful leadership approach that tackles the chronic issues of overwork and inefficiency.

While Simon’s work is rooted in the context of schools and learning, his insights go beyond education. The Pruning Principle offers valuable lessons for anyone looking to streamline their efforts, whether in life, business or leadership. It’s about thoughtfully cutting back to create space for deeper impact and sustainable growth.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by competing initiatives or endless to-do lists, this episode is for you. Join me as we explore how to clear the clutter and focus on what truly matters.
