Learning from the industry’s top performers is vital. All our guests have been open to sharing their knowledge and experiences with our listeners to support our industry make more impact.

As ever we want to bring value to our listeners and help fast track your growth with insights from those who have been through the journey already.

So far 2021 has brought us some fantastic guests and we hope their stories have entertained, if not inspired you.

We’ve taken the opportunity on this episode to look back at our conversations. Finding themes, messages, insights, and takeaways from the last nine episodes to create part 2 of Lessons from Leaders.

As we have a light at the end of the lockdown tunnel, we can see the sector springing back into life and the pent-up demand from children, young people, and families being set free.

High-quality providers have never been so required, thank you for staying resilient and preparing behind the scenes.

Welcome to our second wrap-up show, Lessons from Leaders – Part 2.
