Dear Karen, I was just able to catch the tail end of your presentation the other day, but what I heard was exciting. I would also like to thank you for the practical advice you gave me on a previous occasion when we first spoke about my situation.

Laura Hartley

I had the pleasure supporting Karen on the Marketing 5.0 Microschool in January 2022. It was awesome to see them so engaged in the process and taking action from their learnings.

It was fabulous to see her in the final! Well deserved!

Heidi Dillon

From the first Zoom call to gather information about the Teen Quest, it was evident that Karen has an exceptional understanding and compassion of young learners. Not only my daughter Heidi has learned a lot in the last 4 weeks, but I also enjoyed participating alongside with her and was introduced to valuable new research tools and presentation techniques. Thank you for a great experience.

A different way to make learning more personalised. Each learner is very likely to express a different discussion starter or research approach or inquiry questions.

Using The 3-2-1 Learning Strategy For Critical Thinking

The 3-2-1 strategy is a simple way to frame a topic or task, making it useful for anything from discussion prompts to inquiry learning.

For better mental health, read a book! Studies show a range of psychological benefits from book reading.

Why reading books is good for society, wellbeing and your career

Our research showed reading as a teenager was a stronger indicator of curiosity than, say, their mathematical ability.

The main theme of this article is that people are naturally very efficient learners and that we can more effectively make use of this fact in our current education and training systems.

Shifting From Pedagogy To Heutagogy In Education

As a self-directed approach to learning, heutagogy is underpinned by the assumptions of two key philosophies: humanism and constructivism.

Upskilling young people is of the utmost importance and we are not seeing a creative response to this urgent need from traditional education systems. The world we live in is changing rapidly, and to keep up with this change, we need to constantly update our skills and be committed to a lifelong learning approach. Our 3-step process includes a focus on learning how to learn at your best where children are provided with key strategies to continue their learning beyond their formal schooling years. They know how to use their natural strengths, skills and capabilities to be successful and make a difference. See the comment below to find out how to register now for this unique event.

Many classroom environments favour a certain kind of thinker, usually the students who are quick to recall a fact when the instructor asks a question. But that’s not the only type of mind, and it’s not even always the best kind of mind for learning.

I’m posting today to invite you to a special masterclass focusing on why it is crucial for young people to upskill themselves in today’s fast-paced world and how you can play a very important role in supporting the development of their unique skills. Check the Events tab and register today. Limited virtual seats are available. As technology and innovation continue to reshape our working world, the skills required for employability are rapidly evolving. According to a report by McKinsey Global Institute, approximately 375 million workers worldwide may need to switch jobs by 2030 due to automation. That is not too far away! This means young people need to continuously be provided with the opportunity to learn new skills and adapt to change. This type of rapid response is not happening effectively within our current education system.
