Welcome to another enlightening episode of the PiXL Leadership Bookclub! Join host Rachel Johnson (PiXL CEO) as she engages in a captivating discussion with Samantha Rasmussen (Vice Principal at Ely College) and Lucy Morris (Deputy Head at The Kingston Academy). This week, they unravel the transformative insights of Cal Newport's "Deep Work".

Newport's book sheds light on the power of focus amidst the chaos of modern life. It explores how, by mastering the ability to concentrate on cognitively demanding tasks, individuals can unlock extraordinary results and true fulfilment in their professional endeavours.

Join us as we delve into the strategies for embracing deep work and harnessing it as a superpower in the busyness of the school day. From the physical act of shutting doors or removing themselves from distracting spaces to capitalising on "trapped time", our seasoned educators share their tested strategies for reclaiming precious moments of concentration amidst the chaos. Tune in to this episode to embark on a journey toward greater consistent productivity both in and out of the school setting.
