Essentialism

In this episode, Rachel Johnson is joined by two school leaders; Daniel Opoku of Ark Blake Academy and Richard Tyrrell of The Kingston Academy, to discuss 'Essentialism' by Greg McKeown. According to McKeown, an Essentialist lives by three principles: they do less but better, they follow the disciplined pursuit of less, and, ultimately, they live a life that really matters. In education, where there are often 101 things we should do in a finite space of time, could practising the book's premise change the way we think and lead?

Everything rests on leadership. Each fortnight on PiXL’s Leadership Bookclub, Rachel Johnson, PiXL CEO, will be joined by two school leaders to discuss one non-educational leadership book that can change the way we think, teach, and lead. Reflecting, they talk about the lessons they have learned about their own leadership, and the result is honest, candid conversation, with practical takeaways for all educators. PiXL is a partnership organisation of thousands of schools, colleges and alternative education providers spanning KS1-5.
