Today we’re talking about Drift and the challenge of openness in the workplace before concluding the scaffolding discussion with a focus on big people in the big wide world of work. Also we have a post credits scene, an improvised bell ringing session, and a strained analogy or two about submarines and Caesar crossing the Rubicon.

In this episode Aran Rees - learning and performance extemporiser at Sabre Tooth Panda, Ladina Rees - organisational performance conductor, also at Sabre Tooth Panda, and Kaley Hayes - COO of Village Global Nurseries and early years education virtuoso.

In the first full episode of the Sabre Tooth Panda podcast we talk about not being good at podcasting *yet*, listening to music we don’t like, what needs to change to make learning and performance work properly, and how we can be comfortable outside of our comfort zones using proximal flow and scaffolding.
