We're kicking off Series 6 with Languishing by Corey Keyes, the book that finally puts a name to that feeling of being stuck, drained and just going through the motions.

Rachel Johnson is joined by school leaders Chris and Angela to explore how this shows up in education and, more importantly, what we can do about it.

From recognising the signs in ourselves and our teams to finding simple ways to boost motivation and well-being, this episode is packed with practical takeaways.

Together, they unpack insightful strategies for recognising and overcoming this state – helping school leaders foster resilience, meaning and growth in themselves and their teams.

So many gems in this episode like how play isn't just for students! As teachers, we have a responsibility to make lessons fun, bringing energy and creativity into the classroom to keep everyone engaged.
