Starting out as a scientist, Diana went into teaching almost accidentally, and has a brilliant story. 

She now coaches women and head teachers on leadership, and Diana certainly has the experience and back story to do that. 

A fascinating and inspiring woman. You can find Diana on LinkedIn or @diana_osagie on Twitter

Graham asked TJ to appear on the Heart-Shaped Decisions podcast because TJ has a podcast too, and has met many great teachers.

I loved interviewing Tracy, she radiates joy and obviously totally enjoys what she does. 

Tracy is an assistant headteacher at King Edward VI School for Girls in Birmingham - you can find her on Twitter at Miss_Goodyear  and her blog is at www.thelearningaddict.co.uk

I was inspired by this interview and I know you will be too.

Dr Victoria Carr is headteacher of a primary school in Cheshire and a TEDx speaker. Listen and be inspired by this woman who really doesn't realise how special she is. You will probably want to go and work with her, I know I did!

Deb Holland is Assistant Principal and responsible for Community Engagement at Pingle Academy in Swadlincote, Derbyshire. I met Deb when I spoke at her school early in 2020, and was inspired by her enthusiasm for her job and the young people she helps to educate. 

This is an inspiring listen! If you would like to contact Deb, please email her [email protected]

Not one to be deterred by a mixture of health issues that would make most of us give up, Fee is a complete inspiration. If you need a lift, listen to this great woman who is a fantastic example of someone who just never gives up!

Paula and Graham have known each other for ten years, during which they have both gone through a lot of changes!

Here Paula speaks very frankly about her life over the past few years and how she finds herself on a path that was very much not planned.

The circumstances of 2020 have allowed me to connect with a lot of really interesting people that I probably would never have met in a 'normal' year. Chris Willsdon is one of those people. You will get so many insights from listening to this episode. It's one of my favourites.

Two great people from Birmingham who had less than great starts in life and are trying to help others. I'm really impressed with and supportive of Emily and Dave, two friends who are both trying to make a difference.
