Invisible Chains

How much time do you spend ‘seeing the possible’?

Join PiXL CEO, Rachel Johnson, as she dives into the theme of "Invisible Chains" and its impact on individuals, schools, and success. She explores the metaphor of the "chained elephant syndrome", delving into how past conditioning can limit our potential. Rachel reflects on language use, questioning how labels such as "disadvantaged" or school ratings might create invisible chains hindering progress. Join us for practical steps to break free: encourage goal-setting, challenge limiting labels, and celebrate diverse forms of success. Let's question the narrative of limitation and foster a culture that empowers individuals and schools to break free. Tune in to the PiXL Pearls podcast for insights into overcoming obstacles and celebrating the full spectrum of achievements.

PiXL Pearls are short reflections on life and leadership, in schools. They are here to inspire, encourage, motivate, and challenge.

The PiXL network spans thousands of schools across key stages 1-5. We collaborate, share best practice, and equip leaders throughout the educational system.

Series 2, 3, 4 and 5 are presented by Rachel Johnson, CEO of PiXL, and Series 1 was presented by Founder-Director Sir John Rowling.

They both draw on literature, life, and experience in leadership to explore different elements of what it is to be a good leader and how we can become even better leaders, both in and out of schools.
