The Infinite Learners Podcast Infinite Leaders: Live #37 Helen Olds
Helen Olds is Principal of the British International School Riyadh. She is based in Saudi Arabia,
Helen speaks fondly of her upbringing in Cornwall, England, the firm roots family provided and how at a young age she became inspired to explore and work in different cultures.
Helen has lived in seven different countries and offers a unique perspective on school leadership and life in South East Asia and the Middle East. From the pressure of running a five campus international school in a male dominated culture, to watching Octopuses in the Red Sea we cover a real range of topics in this conversation.
We explore how to create a positive working culture, Outdoor Education, forgetting where your comfort zone is and why being a Principal means you are the lead learner in a school.
It was wonderful to chat to Helen, and we wish her all the best in her leadership of BISR.
Lewis and Alan discuss research, look at trends and have a good chat with the odd guest to support those working in education to be better educators and be better humans.
