After a little hiatus I'm pleased to bring you this 3rd episode of Season 2, recorded during the Teach for All Social Innovators gathering in South Africa.
Raoul shares the challenge he faced when pivoting from a career in management consulting at McKinsey to becoming a teacher on the Teach for Sweden fellowship. Through emotional boldness he followed his heart and intuition to pursue a new path in education, one that he had long thought of but took courage to navigate. Raoul talks openly about how the fear of failure stopped him from taking the road less travelled until a serendipitous moment led to a conversation that sparked him to be emotionally bold. I think this is such an important conversation that many listeners, particularly those working in corporate mainstream jobs, will relate to. Raoul talks about breaking free from the hamster wheel 'path of least resistance' to challenging the status quo and reskilling to a new career that is aligned with your dreams.
Raoul's pivot from McKinsey has led to him founding Joshico, which partners with Swedish municipalities to design and deliver interventions that align schools, social services, police and healthcare around child welfare. Set up in 2023, Joshico’s programmes have already reached 11,000 school students and they are currently launching work with 3 new municipalities with a reach of 25,000 students. Raoul has also founded Puffin, an organisation that builds lightweight formative-assessment and feedback tools. Both of his ventures tackle systemic barriers to educational equity: Joshico at the policy and service-delivery layer, Puffin at the classroom and family interface. Raoul has co-authored a global study on the impact of artificial intelligence. This is a heart warming episode on creating a liberating career in the world of education.
Guest speaker: Raoul Joshi, Founder of Joshico.
