Introduction

In this episode, Rachel Johnson is joined by two school leaders; Daniel Opoku of Ark Blake Academy and Richard Tyrrell of The Kingston Academy, to discuss 'Essentialism' by Greg McKeown.

According to McKeown, an Essentialist lives by three principles: they do less but better, they follow the disciplined pursuit of less, and, ultimately, they live a life that really matters. In education, where there are often 101 things we should do in a finite space of time, could practising the book's premise change the way we think and lead?
