     #7: The Student Well-Being Revolution with Sam Moinet - supporting kids emotionally and mentally


    Welcome to the UK Educators Community Podcast, with your host, Syd.

    Syd is  an award winning science communicator, serial entrepreneur and educational consultant.

    On this episode, Syd chats with Sam Moinet.  He's leading the revolution in student well-being and Founder of "Student Breakthrough"

    Sam has trained over thirty teachers and educators to deliver his 3B programme of Boost, Believe and Breakthrough in order to bring coaching to more students and help more young people. As an experienced speaker, Sam shares his passion for coaching, education and teaching with diverse audiences across the world.

    This chat is honest, real and insightful.  When coaching for emotional well being, Sam advises us to use the "3-A's":

    • AWARENESS : Becoming more aware of what we need to do to gain confidence
  • ACTION : Changing behaviours
  • ACCOUNTABLE : Hold yourself accountable to follow through.

    • He also offers advice for educators who want to help students, by

    • Listening to the student with your heart and listen to fully understand
  • Asking powerful questions that start with "what", "how" and "why" to help the student develop their own insight.
  • Not  just sharing  advice, but also asking what action steps YOU can take to move your coaching forward.

    #6: Deconstructing Reality with James Porritt

    Understanding How Humans and the World Works

    Welcome to the UK Educators Community Podcast, with your host, Syd.

    Syd is  an award winning science communicator, serial entrepreneur and educational consultant.

    On this episode, Syd chats with James Porritt; a highly successful Business coach who specialises in stress management and conflict resolution.  Whilst James isn't an "educator" in the classic sense, his work definitely educates his clients and helps them find clarity in life.   You'll find many useful nuggets in this chat, including:

    • In order to become truly successful, you must fail along the way, and learn lessons as you go. The modern mentality of "wanting tomorrow's results yesterday without doing the work today" is not realistic
     
  • If you don't succeed, rather than class it as a failure and ask yourself why you failed, reframe the question and ask yourself what lessons you can learn from the outcome, how those lessons can be used to avoiding the same outcome again, and then use these lessons to teach other people.

  • Emotional maturity and resilience is of massive importance when coaching.  Being too emotional leads you to offer too much assistance, which stops people from learning lessons themselves.  Being too detached leads to a lack of connection with people.  It's all about balance.

    #5: Leadership in a Covid World with Kul Mahay


    Welcome to the UK Educators Community Podcast, with your host, Syd.

    Syd is  an award winning science communicator, serial entrepreneur and educational consultant.

    On this episode, Syd chats with Kul Mahay.  He's a Leadership & Emotional Intelligence Specialist, who uses his 26 years of experience as a leader, coach and mentor, to help leaders to develop their most powerful asset, their ability to communicate and relate to teams, clients and peers. 

    See more about Kul's work here: https://www.igniteyourinnerpotential.com/

    There's insight into different styles of leadership on this episode.  You'll hear about how the most adaptable leaders swiftly switch between the 6 different types of leadership.  There are many key take away points, including:


    • Become aware of your values as a person, then leadership (and life) becomes easier.

  • You don't need to compete with other people to be successful.  Growth comes from competing with yourself.  Aim to become just 2% better each day.

  • During the hard times, don't consider just surviving, set your sights on growing.

  • Adaptability is the key to growth, especially in hard times.  Charles Darwin said “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent; it is the one most adaptable to change".  Kul agrees!

    #4: Building an Education Empire with Lucy Spencer - Scaling strategies for business growth


    Welcome to the UK Educators Community Podcast, with your host, Syd.

    Syd is  an award winning science communicator, serial entrepreneur and educational consultant.

    On this episode, Syd chats with Lucy Spencer about scaling strategies for business growth.  Lucy is the Founder and Director of Education Boutique.  She was described by The Good Schools Guide as “one to watch” and is currently the Vice President of The Tutors’ Association.

    Find out about Lucy's growth programmes here: https://educationboutique.co.uk/
     
    She has grown Education Boutique without outside investment or partners, and this episode has plenty of advice you can apply to your business if you plan to scale:

    • Remain in complete control of your business, until you're ready to sell and exit.

  • Plan, plan and plan!  Be ready with a Plan-B and be prepared to put plans on hold too! Always write your plans down, as that makes you accountable.  Plan a year in advance, with monthly goals.

  • Surround yourself with like minded people who have similar aspirations and values.  You are the average of the 5 people you're closest to.

  • Consider which clients will be able to expand your network, and realise how important referrals are as a marketing strategy.

  • Episode #3: Me, Myself & I with Richard Gray

    #3: Me, Myself & I with Richard Gray – The pain points of being a solo entrepreneur.


    Welcome to the UK Educators Community Podcast, with your host, Syd.

    Syd is  an award winning science communicator, serial entrepreneur and educational consultant.

    On this episode, Syd chats with Richard Gray, who's the founder of Crystal Tuition.  He has a history in corporate banking and turned his back on the big bucks to create a business within the education sector because of his passion for teaching.  You can find out more about his company here: https://crystaltuition.com

    There are some priceless actionable tips on this show surrounding the interview process, including: 

    • When searching for new contractors, Facebook Jobs works well.  Syd recently paid £10 for an advert, and got over 100 applicants!

  • When receiving so many applicants, the first step of filtration can be brutal.  For example; instruct all applicants to give their email a particular title.  Anyone who doesn't goes straight to trash!  This may sound harsh, but it will save you time interviewing people who aren't able to follow instructions, and don't have an eye for detail.

  • When hiring, here are Syd's Top 3 traits her interview process concentrates on:
    • The applicants attitude & personality.  Is it aligned with hers and her business?
  • Their passion for her business.
  • Are they going to be committed long-term?
