Rachel Johnson (PiXL CEO) wraps up this series with a look at fear; how it manifests in leadership, and how it can hinder our development. From Rugby star Eddie Jones, to revered author and poet Maya Angelou, to highly decorated composer and musician Leonard Bernstein, there's lots to learn from how these iconic figures faced their fears and how it has propelled them in their respective fields to a high stature. For one final time in this series, join us as Rachel uncovers some strategies for challenging what we find scary, finding humour in adversity, and rising above its grip so that we're unstuck from the immobilisation of fear.

PiXL Pearls are short reflections on life and leadership, in schools. They are here to inspire, encourage, motivate, and challenge.

The PiXL network spans thousands of schools across key stages 1-5. We collaborate, share best practice, and equip leaders throughout the educational system.

Series 2, 3, 4 and 5 are presented by Rachel Johnson, CEO of PiXL, and Series 1 was presented by Founder-Director Sir John Rowling.

They both draw on literature, life, and experience in leadership to explore different elements of what it is to be a good leader and how we can become even better leaders, both in and out of schools.
