Host Rachel Johnson is joined by Paul Ainsworth (author and Education Director at Infinities Academy Trust), and Damith Bandara (Deputy Head at St Margaret's CofE in London), as they dig out the gems from Daniel Coyle's "The Talent Code: Unlocking the Secret of Skill".

In this captivating book, Coyle reveals the key elements for optimising performance in sports, art, music, math, and more.

Our guests unpack precisely how to apply this to the educational environment, giving us nuggets of wisdom they've collected as experienced school leaders. Learn about 'Deep Practice', 'Ignition', and 'Master Coaching' and how they can be implemented in schools to nurture talent, enhance learning, and propel leadership development.

Join us as we explore practical strategies for fostering a culture of excellence and unlocking the potential of every staff and student. Tune in to the PiXL Leadership Bookclub for insights into unleashing greatness in education!
