What if the biggest key to better leadership is not focusing on the lagging measures, but learning how to measure what truly matters? In this episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper sits down with Dave Schmittou to talk about leadership, priority management, and the difference between lead measures and lagging measures. Dave shares practical insight from his work with schools, districts, and organizations, and explains why leaders must clarify the results they want before they can effectively guide others. Together, they explore why so many leaders get stuck managing process instead of outcomes, how overcontrolling can create dependence, and what it looks like to build independence and interdependence in staff and students. Dave also shares a powerful story about getting out of the way, the value of focusing on lead measures, and how leaders can create cultures centered on real growth and measurable progress. About Dave Schmittou: As an educator for more than two decades, Dave has earned a reputation for being a disruptor of the status quo, an innovator, and a change agent. Having served as a classroom teacher, school-based administrator, central office director, and professor of Educational Leadership, he often uses real-life stories and examples of his own life and career to describe why and how we need to confront “the way we have always done it.” He is now the Director of Leadership and Development with the Teach Better Team where he speaks, consults, and partners with districts around the country. He has written multiple books, including “It's Like Riding a Bike: How to make learning last a lifetime”, “Bold Humility”, “Making Assessment Work for Educators Who Hate Data but Love Kids”, and “Poking the Bear”.

Nihal Arthanayake: From Radio 1 to Corporate Storytelling - Class, Diversity & the BBC's Blind Spots Nihal Arthanayake, former BBC Radio 1 presenter, joins Jimmy's Jobs of the Future to trace his career, from promoting rap nights at 16 and fronting Collapsed Lung to being dropped by a major label and pivoting into music journalism and PR before becoming a Radio 1 DJ in 2002. Nihal explains how radio shifted from gatekeeping to curating as social media and algorithms changed music discovery, and recounts his 23 years across Radio 1, Asian Network and 5 Live, including planning his exit and ultimately being engineered out after speaking out. He argues the BBC's biggest bias is class, says it “lies about diversity,” keeps people of color in boxes, and fears the Daily Mail more than ideological labels suggest. We also discuss interview craft, his book on conversation, and how doing stand-up comedy increased his confidence. 00:00 Intro 01:22 Welcome and Early Dreams 02:51 First Money in Music 05:33 Collapsed Lung Breakthrough 09:22 Go Discs and Muddy Funksters 12:34 Dropped and Reinventing as Journalist 13:46 Why British Rap Lagged 15:36 Gatekeepers to Algorithms 18:14 Landing Radio 1 Asian Beats 22:29 Representation and BBC Culture 31:24 Calling Out Window Dressing 40:05 Is the BBC Left Wing 46:32 Politics and Interview Nerves 49:33 Nerve Wracking Guests 51:08 Peterson Clegg Clash 52:53 Interview Style Lessons 55:06 Talking Ends Conflict 57:36 Mutual Friend Story 01:00:00 Research Like A Pro 01:05:19 No Gotcha Headlines 01:09:12 Media Tech Farage 01:14:55 Politics Brutal Switch 01:26:14 Kids Time Football 01:30:55 Stand Up Confidence Credits: Host/Exec Producer: Jimmy McLoughlin OBE Producer: Sunny Winter Producer: Thuy ********** Follow us on socials!

It is an unlikely migration trend: Westerners swapping their lives in Texas or London for Moscow or Nizhny Novgorod. In 2024, President Vladimir Putin introduced the Russian Shared Values visa, sometimes called the 'anti-woke' visa, offering up to three years of residency to citizens of 47 so-called ‘unfriendly' countries who say they align with Russia's traditional spiritual and moral values. Applicants do not need to speak Russian or pass a history test to qualify. Instead, they must reject the social and cultural direction of their home country. We hear the stories of people making this move. What motivates them, and how do their expectations compare with the reality of life in Russia?Presenter/producer: Dan Hardoon Editor: Mike Wendling Sound engineer: Richard Courtice A Story² Production for BBC World Service(Photo: A composite image showing a woman packing a suitcase, alongside Russian passports and a stylised Russian flag, illustrating Westerners preparing to relocate to Russia.

In this Aspire Mailbag episode, Joshua Stamper and Jeff Gargas respond to listener questions about supporting an aspiring leader through a campus transition and helping teachers shift away from punitive discipline. They explore how new leadership can create both uncertainty and opportunity, and what aspiring leaders can do to build trust, stay visible, and align themselves with a new principal's vision without losing momentum in their own leadership journey. The conversation also digs into one of the biggest challenges in education today: helping teachers move from punishment-based discipline to relationship-based support. Joshua and Jeff discuss why this shift takes time, why common language matters, and how schools can make restorative approaches feel practical instead of overwhelming. They also talk about the importance of small, intentional steps, teacher buy-in, and creating systems that support student growth without making behavior management feel like an unfair sacrifice of teacher time.

West Africa is currently the global epicentre for illegal fishing, according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation. An estimated 40% of the world's illegal industrial fishing occurs in its waters, costing the region up to 10 billion dollars a year in lost revenue, and severely depleting stocks essential for the food security and livelihoods of over 7 million people. Ed Butler has been hearing about the practice in Sierra Leone, trying to ascertain who is behind it, and finding out how much the government is doing to help.

What happens when the very systems meant to support education begin driving great teachers out of the profession?

If you've ever watched someone stumble through explaining what they do - or caught yourself doing it - this episode is for you. The ability to communicate your ideas clearly isn't a nice-to-have. It's the difference between being good at what you do and being known for it. For senior leaders, consultants, and founders, that gap is often where opportunity gets lost.Andrea Pacini runs Ideas On Stage UK and has spent 16 years coaching business leaders - including over 500 TEDx speakers - to become more confident, more effective communicators. His new book, Timeless Presenter, draws on principles that have worked for 2,000 years and will keep working regardless of what AI does next.Three areas we explored:✳️ Nerves before a presentation are normal - the best antidote isn't confidence tricks, it's preparation. As Kobe Bryant put it, confidence comes from having done something a thousand times before.✳️ Every presentation is a sales presentation - whether you're pitching a product or updating colleagues on a project, you are always asking someone to buy in to an idea. If you can't make clear why they should care, they probably have a point.✳️ AI makes human communication more valuable, not less. Because everyone can now produce polished content with minimal effort, the people who show up with authenticity, story, and connexion will stand out even more.Andrea's Amplifiers - three things you can apply straight away:✳️ Know your 1% - your audience will forget 90% of what you say. Be ruthlessly clear about the one big idea you want them to walk away with. If you don't have that clarity, they won't either.✳️ Raise the quality of your examples - the fastest way to improve as a communicator is to use better stories and examples. Stop leading with facts and data. Wrap your ideas in something human and memorable.✳️ Simplify without dumbing down - complex topics don't require complex language. If you can only explain something in jargon, you haven't mastered it yet. Use the shortest, clearest word that does the job.If this episode gave you something useful, the best thing you can do is follow or subscribe so you never miss a conversation.

What if the biggest instructional breakthrough came from starting in the right place? In this episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper sits down with Gretchen Bridgers to talk about classroom instruction, teacher mentorship, and the mindset shifts that help educators build more sustainable and effective learning experiences. Gretchen shares her journey from classroom teacher to instructional coach, author, and podcaster, and reflects on how connection, curiosity, and the right support changed the trajectory of her career. A major theme in this conversation is the power of intentional lesson design. Gretchen explains why so many teachers get stuck trying to fix surface-level problems when the real issue is often rooted in planning and structure. She introduces her “bricks” framework and walks through how lesson design, classroom management, student engagement, and student ownership work together to create a classroom where learning can actually flourish. Rather than overwhelm teachers with more to do, Gretchen emphasizes small, thoughtful improvements that lead to real growth over time. The conversation also explores burnout, motivation, and the difference between new teachers and veteran teachers when it comes to instructional change. Gretchen shares practical strategies for naming what you're feeling, understanding why it's happening, and identifying what you can control in the moment. She also talks about the importance of finding people who can help you grow, whether that's through a mentor, a colleague, a professional network, or a simple conversation with someone who sees your potential. About Gretchen Bridgers Gretchen Bridgers is a two-time National Board Certified educator, instructional coach, and education consultant with over two decades of experience empowering teachers and school leaders nationwide. She is the author of multiple books for educators, the host of the Empowering Educators podcast, and a sought-after keynote speaker and conference presenter. Passionate about professional growth and sustainability in education, Gretchen helps teachers build confidence, refine their practice, and find fulfillment throughout their careers. With a belief that there is “Always A Lesson,” Gretchen challenges educators to grow boldly, lead authentically, and make lasting change in their classrooms and beyond.

In the 1990s, the video game industry was locked in competition between gaming giants Sega and Nintendo, battling for dominance in living rooms around the world as they raced to deliver the best games on their consoles while attacking one another in advertising. This rivalry reshaped the landscape of gaming, helping it grow into the world's biggest entertainment industry today. We hear from Sega America CEO Tom Kalinske, who took on Nintendo by targeting a more mature audience, focusing on lower prices. Central to that plan was the creation of Sonic the Hedgehog, a character designed to challenge Mario as the face of gaming. We also travel to the heart of Madrid, to the OXO video game museum to explore the legacy of the console wars and how they helped the industry level up.Presenter/producer: Sean AllsopIf you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.uk

Data centres are becoming and ever bigger part of our daily lives and our landscapes – great big warehouses, packed with computers, that power pretty much every digital thing we do, from using AI chatbots or filing our tax returns. They've popped up around the world in recent years and – whether we like it or not - more are coming. But people don't necessarily want to live next to these places. They're often big, faceless facilities, built close to the towns and cities they serve, and there's a perception that they're pushing up electricity costs and consuming precious water. So as the AI revolution rolls on, fuelling the need for ever greater digital storage capacity, how do we learn to live with data centres?
