Jo Palmer is no  stranger to the limelight. In 2019 she won the AgriFutures National Rural Women's Award for her business Pointer Remote. But there's a lot you don't know about Jo. After meeting her in Canberra recently and totally fan-girling, I roped her in to chat to me about mum life, farm life and work life, including her family's recent lifechanging decision to move overseas. You'll also hear about a very dark time in Jo's life- something she tried to run from and block out for so long. But as a mum to two young girls, it's sparked some important conversations.  This is her story.*Just quick warning, this episode does briefly touch on the topic of consent and may be triggering for anyone who has had experience with sexual assault Don't forget to give the Alyte app a try, an online social fitness studio made for friends.

We close out this special series of IPW podcasts recorded live during the last few minutes in Orlando with Jo Palmer, Founder/Managing Director, Gate 7. Jo dives deep into why the U.S. is the number one aspirational destination for Australian tourists and how DMOs can better attract these long-stay visitors. Yes, the IPW ground crew are literally carrying out the potted plants as we speak.

Jo Palmer is a former television news reader and journalist. Known for reading the weekly news bulletin live on our tv screens with Southern Cross, or hosting a charity event, Jo has now turned her attention to politics, and is making waves in the early stages of her political career. After recently being elevated to cabinet and taking over 3 important portfolios, Jo's always been someone to me that I see a lot, but I just don't know much about her. In her first episode as a podcast guest ever (which was a surprise) Jo gives a wonderful insight into her family and upbringing that had us at one stage both in tears. Jo shared with me about being adopted as a baby in NZ, the thrills and challenges in meeting members of her birth family, as well as the amazing gratitude she has towards her mother that gave her up. We spoke about growing up in a loving family here in Tasmania, and to now living life in the fast lane and why she felt it was time to enter politics, and the difference she wants to make. Jo also answered questions I had around journalism and how I've always questioned the amount of leniency reporters get when reporting on matters. I'm really grateful for this insight into Jo's world. Jo is kind, articulate, genuine, caring and determined to be the best mum, politician and person she can be. Enjoy!

Jo Palmer-Tweed has worked in education for the past 26 years and she has packed so much in during this time. She has been an advanced skills teacher in Drama, a primary headteacher in an improving schools team, an advisor at the Department for Education, the Strategic Lead for the Expert Subject Advisory Groups (which is a group of 300 independent experts across the UK), and on top of all that she is currently the Executive Director of Essex and Thames Primary SCITT. Jo is also a founding fellow of The Chartered College of Teaching and is an advisor for a range of organisations in the UK, including The Teacher Development Trust, The Goodall Foundation and she is a Trustee for The Centre for Studies on Inclusive Education. On top of that, if she can find any spare time that is, she also works as an actor and voice over artist. With a CV like that you can see why Jo has so much of interest to say to anyone who is passionate about teaching. In this podcast we discuss ... Why you need to be subversive to make sure the curriculum is as good as it can be for the children you are teaching. The need to accept nothing, question everything and follow your gut. Do what is right for the pupils in your class. How acting and teaching complement each other. Both need you to make a human connection with people. The fact that the best teachers have something that makes them stand out in the classroom. They have a presence that makes students want to look at them and connect with them. Why intuition is such a vital part of teaching. The need to have your pupils' best interests  at heart and the desire to help them develop into a well-rounded person. The fact that there are hoops you have to jump through as a teacher, but there are many you can skirt around so you do what is best for the children in your care. Why teaching practice may not be really enjoyable, but if you're with a great teacher you can learn so much from observing what she does to be successful. The importance of putting time into lesson preparation. It is worth every second because then you can be really confident in the classroom. Over time you get faster at planning so do the ground work and you will reap the benefit in class. Why tricky classes are often the outcome of a teacher not getting the learning climate right for the children they are teaching. The value of learning to change what you're teaching if something is not working. It's tricky to do when inexperienced but it is so beneficial that it is a skill well worth learning. Why learning the science behind learning and pedagogy is vital. When this is blended with great planning and your own intuition you can achieve great learning outcomes. The importance of creativity, even though it is much neglected and underrated. There must be space for things that aren't planned if you are going to excite and motivate children and get the most out of every lesson. And there's lots more, including Jo's first nativity production, which was eventful to say the least, and must have been the basis for the film, 'The Nativity'! You can connect with Jo on ...

In today's episode of beyond the green line, Shonelle Gleeson-Willey talks with 2019 National AgriFuture Rural Women's Award winner Jo Palmer. Jo Palmer is the founder of Pointer Remote Roles, a platform that connects businesses with professionals all over Australia. The online network promotes work for rural dwellers, and has become a powerful tool to move businesses into the future: remote work, flexible hours, and therefore more equal opportunities for professionals. Jo started off as a teacher in Wagga, then traveled overseas for a bit. Now she and her husband live in Riverina with their two daughters. She shares a story of having to persevere in applying for her prestigious award: when she applied in 2018 they didn't even offer an interview. But, she tried again, and not only won the state award the next year, but the national award as well. As you hear her talk about how much can change in 12 months' time, we know you'll be reminded to stay confident and determined. You never know what new opportunities can open up the second or third time around. Of course another notable element in her story is the timing: creating a company that cultivates online business connections, and then gaining attention about it right before the entire world had to go remote! Shonelle and Jo discuss the vastly different world of remote working in the post- Covid era, and how Jo found herself in the perfect storm: first creating this network and pushing it uphill for the first three years, and now watching it meet a gigantic need in the market. Jo feels that the corporate world has been forced to advance at an accelerated rate; she explains a theory that it has moved forward a generation in two years. While many were waiting for the scales to tip more evenly, which would have realistically included a white male- dominated top tier retiring in a slow and staggered manner, now the workforce is seeing more women, minorities, and rural-dwellers suddenly receive new well-deserved opportunities. Stay tuned to learn from Jo's expertise about rural Australia's challenges, and how remote work can now bring some of the sociological stability those areas have needed for decades. You'll learn how the biggest challenge to the success of setting up remote and hybrid work forces is actually the mindset of some company's management and leadership teams. This episode will definitely inspire creative strategy and stir up excitement in you about the good parts of the future that's coming our way. Connect here:https://agrifutures.com.au/people-leadership/rural-womens-award/2019-winners/https://pointerremote.com/

Small Biz Matters – #200 Providing the small business community with educational content and advocacy since 2014 with Alexi Boyd, broadcaster, advocate and small business owner. Date: 23 March 2021 In the last 12 months policy makers, regional communities, corporates and small businesses all sat up and have taken notice of remote working. But it’s not a new normal for regional communities. Part of the evolution of the Tree Change Sea Change concept is the move towards working remotely. So, corporate does it, government does it, but for once small business has been a little bit slow off the mark, slow to adapt to a sensible way to grow. Is it because we are now fearful of employing in Aust thanks to our archaic employment laws? Ot the tyranny of distance (which is ironic), or a mistrust in internet capacity? Or has the offshoring process simply become too easy and switching back by bringing the jobs, money and employment home again all seems too hard? Here to talk us through the processes, the new innovations, the myths and the wonderful impact this has had on regional communities is Jo Palmer. One can only describe her as a powerhouse for regional Australia. She speaks for communities and offers actual solutions which make a difference. A person who, put simply, gets it done.  We are really focusing on the impact that remote work has on rural communities in regards to the attraction and retention of population. We have built a new tool that helps those living in metro areas to find communities in the regions to relocate to. Happy to talk about businesses no longer being location dependent in regards to staff or their physical location? Storage space and logistics are cheap in the bush! To find out more go to their website: https://www.pointerremoteroles.com.au/ About our Guest: Jo is the Founder and Managing Director of Pointer Remote, a company that supports communities, businesses and individuals to leverage remote work to grow. She is particularly passionate about how remote work is an economic development tool to attract and retain populations in the regions. Pointer Remote runs training programs that support business owners to make remote and flexible work actually work in an organisation as well as supporting team members to be the most effective and efficient remote worker possible.

E12 - Professor Damian Hughes: A Change Management Catalyst and Professor of Organisational Psychology and Change. Read the Interview Transcript Below: Jo Palmer: 'We are doing an expert interview, and today I'm with Damian Hughes. We are talking largely about organisation development. So rather than me introduce your credentials, Damian, I think you'd do a better job than me.' Damian Hughes: 'Well, thanks for inviting me on, Jo. It's a real honour to sort of chat with you. For anyone listening it's probably easier to explain the jobs I do, to give some context. So I'm a professor of organizational psychology and change, that's my main role. But I work as a consultant psychologist across a wide range of organisations from business to sport to education. And then the third job I do is I write. So I've done a number of books very much around the topics of high performing cultures and how and how to make change happen.' The Barcelona Way Jo Palmer: 'Fantastic. Before we get into organisational development, let's touch on your most recent book, The Barcelona Way, which is currently ranking on Amazon's best sellers. Damian, what was your inspiration for writing this book?' Damian Hughes: 'Yeah, so I got approached a number of years ago by a publisher who asked if I'd be interested in writing a book on the topic of culture. And I said I'd love to do it. They said, would I be interested in trying to make it a little bit more accessible by viewing it through the lens of a sports team?' DH: 'Now, while that sounded an intriguing challenge, the reality is, like a lot of businesses, a lot of sports teams sort of pay lip service to the topic of culture. So they'll tell you how important it is. But their genuine level of investment, or interest, or focus tends to be quite minimal. So we narrowed it down to three teams that genuinely use culture as a competitive advantage. So the first one was the New Zealand Rugby Union team. The second one was the New England Patriots in the NFL. And then the third one was FC Barcelona.' 'Choose Barcelona' Damian Hughes: 'So I think it was air fair costs that meant the publisher said, "Choose Barcelona." But the reality was, it was the one that I felt had almost been unexplored and it was really rich to link it. So what the idea was was, I looked at culture through the lens of how Barcelona had decided to follow this process known as a commitment culture. And a commitment culture is where you have a really clear set of principles or behaviours, and you've got a really clear sense to why you exist. And what all the evidence says from all the research on the topic is a commitment culture tends to be a lot more successful over a sustained period than any other type of culture.' DH: 'So I look at the different types of cultures, but then specifically this idea of a commitment culture and how that can be used and harnessed within any organisation, so anywhere where people are coming together for a common cause, how you can use it to then drive competitive advantage.' Damian Hughes, the interview will conduct of him explaining organisational psychology and change   How Long Did it Take? Jo Palmer: 'Fantastic. Brilliant. How long did it take you to write it, Damian?' Damian Hughes: 'It ended up being about three years. So I was back and forth from Catalonia for about 18 months, back and forth doing interviews and things like that. But a lot of the research in terms of the most recent research and the papers, that took an awful lot of wading through to be able to give people sort of the idea that it isn't just about sport, it's about people that just happen to work in sport in this case. I'm lucky enough I've done a number of books, Jo. So what I've realised now is that you have to really be intrigued and love the topic, because it ends up dominating an awful lot of your waking hours. So it was a real three-year labour of love.' Favourite Book Jo Palmer: 'Wow.
