Episode Synopsis

Drawing upon the story of the tragic 1949 wildfire at Mann Gulch, Rachel Johnson explores how firefighter Foreman Dodge's ways of thinking in the literal heat of the moment can have some resonant applications to our own life and leadership. The episode asks us to consider our own physical and mental readiness for the crises we so often face in school leadership, and what metaphorical baggage we can drop in order to move forward.
PiXL Pearls are short reflections on life and leadership, in schools. They are here to inspire, encourage, motivate, and challenge.
The PiXL network spans almost 3,000 schools across key stages 1-5. We collaborate, share best practice, and equip leaders throughout the educational system.
Series 2 and 3 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.
