Most people waste at least half their time doing irrelevant stuff. Be effective: make what you are doing count, by making a difference. Don't put things off; do them now. Have fun: you are best at what you are most passionate about. And in pursuing what you like best, it's important to have fun. Summary 1-line: “Be focused, be effective, and have fun – you are best at what you are most passionate about, and in pursuing what you like best, it's important to have fun”. Hosted on Acast.

For the past 15 years, the game of professional squash has been synonymous with the name Joey Barrington. Joey has been the lead commentator and face of PSA Squash TV for close to 15 years, and it goes without saying part of squash royalty, the son of living legend Jonah Barrington. Joey's youthful exuberance combined with incredible squash IQ is on display whenever he takes the mic, and it certainly brushes off on the stellar co commentating team Squash TV assembles for each event. Joey takes a look back at the early Squash TV days, the exciting men's and women's finals at Optasia, the upcoming London Squash Classic and this summer's JB PJ elite junior squash camps at the storied squash facility of Millfield School.

TipTopTipsEdu with Gary HendersonWhen it comes to ensuring that technology across a school runs smoothly, the often-unseen heroes within education are the network managers, technicians and directors of IT who play that pivotal role of ensuring continuity of learning and consistency of access. The importance of their roles came into significant focus during the various lockdowns during the pandemic. It is fair to say that, without their patience, hard work and often long hours working, many educators and learners would not have had the support and access they required to ensuring consistency of learning. In a high-pressure role, often facing significant challenges, their workload and wellbeing are areas that should be high on the priority list for support in their various settings. In this episode of TipTopTipsEdu, popular blogger, tweeter, ANME ambassador, MIEExpert and Director of IT at Millfield School, Gary Henderson, took some time out of his busy schedule to talk with us about some of the ways that he manages his wellbeing and supports that of his team, alongside some pragmatic approaches around their workload and managing the expectations of colleagues at the school where he works.

For Easter Sunday I felt I would release an episode featuring a man who used to chase eggs for a living. It's England 7's former captain, coach and world ginger XV all-star: John Brake.John tells of his days at Millfield School as a boarding student. Support the show

The world of Not For Profit organisations is a rich and diverse arena demonstrated when Sam Horsman of The Wellcome Trust; Julian Stanley of the Bounceback Project and Gary Henderson of Millfield School sat down for a chat with Ian Gill and Joanna Spicer-Brown of Agility By Nature.As we approach the end of Lockdown 3 we are all looking forward to days ahead when the work day is not conducted entirely from a laptop at home, Zoom fatigue fades, and maybe we get ot have a holiday somewhere even if it is just at the end of our street. But will it be as simple as the end of one thing and the start of another?Millfield School is an International Boarding School and when the doors re-opened on the 8th although many of the students walked into the school, the many non UK based students, currently unable to return to the school, continued to study remotely. Millfield is therefore moving to a Hybrid model of teaching with some children learning face to face and some still via technology with the teachers needing to deliver successfully through both channels. This perhaps is just the first of the many aspects of education which will move to a new normal in the coming months and years. As Gary discussed, the education eco system contains a lot of different actors, and change does not come easily, but perhaps the lessons we have learned over the last year give us an opportunity to re-imagine what schools are trying to achieve.Although there are many children desperate to be back at school, some children have faired much better in an online environment and it will be interesting to see how the gains experienced by such children be capitalised on in future?But, it is not just school children who will be experiencing this Hybrid model. With recent surveys regularly showing that many, currently remote based, office workers would like to return to a model of some office based work, and some work from anywhere based work, what does this mean to the modern office and company dynamics? Sam lamented the days when during the course of an office based day she would speak with people outside her immediate responsibilities about nothing and everything. Without that banter and discourse office relationships become more formal and benefit less from non official means of communication. How, when you don't see people walking back to their desk after a tough meeting do you know that members of your team could do with a coffee and a de-brief. Julian could also see the day when resentment might occur between people whose role require them to be more office based (whose costs of travel in terms of both time and money will be higher) and those based at home (who see the office people networking without them)Working with offenders and those at risk of offending Julian and the Bounceback Project work to reduce the rate of re-offending. A rate which is heavily influenced by education, skills, employment and a support network. With only 16 prisons in the UK cabled for the use of technology in the cells how do offenders, and society, work towards a successful release with no access to face to face education, training and mentoring and such limited access to the online resources that the rest of us take for granted. Something everyone agreed on is that as we move forward, and hopefully lockdown eases, as a society and organisations we will try different ways of making it work and we won't get it right first time. In the best Agile traditions we will need to fail fast, learn from our mistakes, and make alternate plans.www.agilitybynature.com#nfp #charity #government Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Isabella Tree is a conservationist and writer of the award-winning book Wilding: the Return of Nature to a British Farm, which tells the story of rewilding a 3,500 acre farm estate in Sussex, which she oversaw with her husband Charlie. The adopted daughter of Michael Tree and Lady Anne Cavendish, Isabella grew up in Mereworth Castle in Kent, and then in Shute House, a vicarage in Dorset. Following her expulsion from two secondary schools, she attended Millfield School as a sixth former, where mutual friends introduced her to her future husband. After reading classics at the University of London, she went on to work as a journalist and travel writer for the Evening Standard and The Sunday Times. Her first book, The Bird Man, about the Victorian ornithologist John Gould, was published in 1991. She married Charles Burrell in 1993 and settled at Knepp, a dairy and arable farm in Sussex. She continued to travel, writing books about Papua New Guinea, Nepal and Mexico. In 2000 Isabella and Charlie closed the farm business at Knepp, and turned the estate into a conservation project, letting the land develop on its own, and eventually introducing free-roaming animals – cattle, pigs, deer and ponies. Two decades later, the project has seen extraordinary increases in wildlife, fungi, and vegetation with extremely rare species like turtle doves, nightingales, peregrine falcons and purple emperor butterflies breeding there. The soil is richer in micro-organisms which help to recapture carbon from the air and promote a functioning ecosystem where nature is given as much freedom as possible. She lives at Knepp with her husband Charlie and has two children, Ned and Nancy.
