The conversation kicks off with Craig sharing his signature pizza recipe (think Mediterranean flavours on a pesto base!) before diving deep into a topic central to his professional mission: building trust in schools and beyond.

Key topics and takeaways include:

The Power of Trust: Why trust is hard to build and easy to lose; essential habits for leaders and coaches.
Trust-Based Observations in Action: How unannounced, strengths-based observations, combined with reflective conversations, lower vulnerability and inspire risk-taking and innovation among teachers.

Lessons from Global Education: Craig’s reflections on teaching and leading in international schools, the impact of cultural context, and why global experiences shaped him and his family.
Personal Insights: Craig’s own relationship with trust, how he’s built it, where he’s been burnt, and why empathy and forgiveness matter.
Advice for Educators: Why leading with kindness, building relationships, and prioritising play aren’t just nice; they’re necessary for learning and innovation.

During the episode, Al opens up about how he started a running program in his twenties to get in shape despite not being athletic as a child. Al's motivation stemmed from his desire to be healthier. The passing of his father from cancer at a young age and his mother's current health struggles have influenced how he views himself and his dreams.

One of the key takeaways from Al's story is the importance of starting small. He emphasises that setting big targets often leads to failure, whereas beginning with tiny, almost imperceptible changes can build momentum and consistency. He suggests repeatedly focusing on doing a task until it becomes automatic rather than relying solely on lofty New Year's resolutions.

Throughout the episode, Al's message resonates with his mission to promote well-being and personal growth. Tune in to this episode that will inspire you to tap into your deeper purpose and motivation!

In teacher education, Daniela never got taught social and emotional skills. She was taught how to plan and write curriculum, assess reports, and teach well-being to students but never learned the skills of positive reflection or self-awareness to better regulate her own emotions. Through her self-learning, she began to focus on the areas of her life she could control—herself. 

The greatest gift Daniela has been able to give herself is listening to her body, managing her mind better, and engaging with her feelings in a healthy way. It wasn’t about removing the stress and pressure in her life as a teacher. It was about learning the social and emotional skills needed to manage the ups and downs better.

Daniela now dedicates her time and energy to helping teachers across the world realise they are amazing and doing an incredible job. They deserve to prioritise their well-being just as much as that of others.

Asking meaningful questions can be the difference between a surface-level conversation and a deep, meaningful exchange. For example, instead of asking someone how their day was, try asking them what the best thing they did today was. You might be surprised at the response you get.

This simple reframing can change the entire ball game when it comes to conversation. By asking more powerful questions, we can open ourselves up to learning more about the people around us and create truly meaningful connections.

Join Dale today for a short episode where he dives into the three worst default questions we all use and how simple reframing can change your life. Please let us know if you liked this short episode, as we can bring them back to mix up the interview-style episodes. Cheers Dale

Born into a family of sporting stars, it was no surprise that a young Katrina Webb was born with natural athleticism. By the age of eighteen, she had already secured a netball scholarship at The Australian Institute of Sport. What she didn’t realise at this time was that her sporting career was about to take an unexpected turn.

During training at the Institute of Sport, a right sided weakness that Katrina had since birth and for many years she had spent hiding, was labelled Cerebral Palsy. Katrina’s ability to pursue netball at a national level was in jeopardy. Despite this, a twist of fate presented a previously unseen opportunity. Katrina was eligible for the Paralympic games. Her weakness had become her greatest strength.

Over the years Katrina had tried to conceal her disability, so making the decision to compete at the very public Paralympics was not easy. In time, she realised that through self-acceptance and determination she could tackle her disability head on and that it was her gift. This decision paid off when she won two Gold medals, and a Silver medal in Atlanta 1996 and at Sydney 2000 went on to win a Silver and Bronze medal.

While the Sydney Paralympics were successful for Katrina, her competitive spirit still left her with a desire to win Gold again. She knew that to do this she needed to take ‘conscious action’ and become a ‘Gold’ level performer in every aspect of her life. In the four years between the Sydney and Athens Paralympics, Katrina mastered the alchemy of performance with a clear focus on understanding mindset, and the results speak for themselves. At Athens in 2004 she won another Gold Medal in the 400-metre sprint and set a new Paralympic record.

Today, Katrina’s running career is in the past, but her passion for helping others perform at their best continues to be her greatest inspiration. Off the track Katrina is the Director of Silver 2 Gold High Performance Solutions which specialises in powering organisations, teams and individuals best. As a professional speaker she has impressed audiences at an International level including speaking at the United Nations and sharing the stage with the likes of Sir Richard Branson, Jack Ma and Usain Bolt.

With approximately half of all mental disorders commencing before the age of 14, school settings play a crucial role in ensuring that mental health and well-being are constant focus points during a student’s formative years. Research over the past 20 years has suggested that comprehensive initiatives embracing a 'whole of school' approach (involving school leaders, teachers, staff, and parents) have fostered a climate where better transitions from childhood to adulthood occur. 

However, overall, student mental health appears to be on the decline, with an estimated one in every five adolescents suffering from a significant mental health disorder. Of additional concern is that, sadly, most instances go undetected and untreated. Early research outputs since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic estimate incidences of adolescent anxiety, depression, and stress have risen significantly. Students worldwide struggle to deal with the loneliness, social isolation, and negativity brought on by continued uncertainty. At JUGAR|LIFE, we want to do our part to remedy that. 

JAG, as an acronym, stands for joy, affection, and gratitude. These elements exist as core components of social and emotional wellbeing. We challenged ourselves to design an initiative that prioritised these components irrespective of school setting; an initiative that was comprehensive in nature, flexible in delivery, and aligned with specific learning objectives drawn from global social and emotional wellness curricula. We made it our mission to make it available free of charge to all. The JAG Bag is the result.

The complexity of children’s needs has expanded beyond the simple day to day problems. As we learn more about the effects of a child’s early development and influences, we have come to realise we can do so much to make a difference. We can intervene earlier; we can change the trajectory of that child’s entire life. Andrew considers himself a kids GP and feels his calling or purpose in life is focused in this direction. 

Andrew works as an ‘everyday GP’, but his interests have become more focused on improving health and mental health outcomes for children and their caregivers. Following graduation from medical school at the University of Notre Dame, Fremantle, Andrew has achieved the FRACGP and completed further studies with the child health diploma. Andrew continues to advise both the RACGP and now also Emerging Minds as part of their course development. Andrew is also the host of the very insightful 'The Kids Healthy Network Podcast'.

It all started for Brooke on the grass at Kensington Park in Whangarei in New Zealand. She was three years old when she first picked up a hockey stick and hasn't put it down since! 

Brooke would like to think that hockey is just one of the things that have shaped her life, along with her career and a fantastic support network. A lanky 15-year old whose nick name was 'baby giraffe' to having the honour of wearing the black singlet for New Zealand at the Rio 2016 Olympics, and playing over 170 games for her country. Brooke spends her spare time eating, paddle boarding, beach-ing, yoga-ing, watching home and away and spending time with friends and family.

In 2013, she graduated as a Sir Edmund Hillary Scholar from the University of Waikato with a Bachelor of Communications, and since returning from Rio, Brooke has become an Olympic Ambassador. Through visiting over 180 schools, she has found her passion for helping young girls who are in the same boat as she was at high school, to support them through such a transformational time and help them find a sense of balance. Brooke immersed herself in self-development courses, books and podcasts, completing "The Female Leader" course run by Altris in 2016, and the "Conscious Boss Bootcamp" in 2017. Brooke is excited for this next chapter of her life with her company 'All About Balance NZ' now that she has retired from professional sport.

Kirsty and James Greenshields, are co-founders of Resilient Leaders Foundation. 

Together as a dynamic team, they have touched 1000's of Australians with their open-hearted approach to life, and their positive example of how to live a life of impact. They've also reached 1000's internationally through the power of social media, others' podcasts, and have been regulars on some international radio and internet radio platforms.

They met while both serving as officers in the Australian Army. Kirsty left her career as an intelligence officer in 2002 to pursue a career in health and created a successful naturopathy practice. 

James retired from military service in 2010, after returning from service in Iraq in 2006/7, as the commander of over 100 troops. During his tour, his armoured vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb. When he returned, aside from his shrapnel wounds, most of his wounds were unseen. He experienced severe depression and post traumatic stress. This began the couple's process of healing, which inspired them to eventually help others to heal.

Their feel-good story of recovery, and relationship growth in the face of adversity, has featured on the Huffington Post, ABC News, The Australian Weekend Magazine, Marie Clare, and Queensland's Courier Mail. They've helped transform the lives of 100's of individuals who have attended their workshops, and they continue to assist small to large Australian organizations and associations best manage transition, leadership, communication and relationship processes. 

At Resilient Leaders Foundation, we use the term 'Harmonic Leadership', which is not a model, but a paradigm of leadership for a new world, outside of outdated systemic practices. 

The Resilient Leaders Foundation was recognized as a national harm prevention charity in 2017, and all activities are aligned with the charitable purpose of the foundation. All programs and activities have been developed as a result of the desire to contribute to the prevention of domestic violence, youth suicide, depression and familial dysfunction.

Dana Kerford is a friendship expert and the Founder of URSTRONG.

Dana's career as a teacher began in 2004 when, after settling into grade 4 at a private school in Canada, she quickly identified the intensity and complexity of friendships for young girls. Inspired by her students, Dana began researching relational aggression, conflict resolution, and the inner workings of female relationships.

In 2009, Dana developed and launched the first-ever GirlPower friendship program, teaching her students how to foster a community of kindness and support. The girls embraced the program and learned how to have a voice in their friendships, improving the overall culture of the school. Dana knew she needed to devote her life to this and her husband, Michael, believed in her dream and turned GirlPower into a company.

Since then, Dana has worked with tens of thousands of girls, parents, and educators in schools and community-based venues across Canada, the United States, and Australia. In 2012, Dana wrote and published her first book, The Friendship Project – a workbook for parents and tween girls.

During that time, every co-gendered school she went in, the #1 question she heard was, "What about the boys?" After extensive research on the social dynamics of boys, Dana created a pilot program and conducted sessions with hundreds of tween boys in 11 schools across three countries. In 2014, she launched GirlPower's brother program, GoodGuys – the first-ever friendship program for boys. In 2016, Dana and Michael were invited to an exclusive conference on gender equality at the White House to share the successes behind GirlPower & GoodGuys. This experience led them to rebrand the company to URSTRONG, a friendship program for children.

Dana has a team of Presenters that she trains and coaches and is involved in every aspect of the business. Media outlets around the world regularly interview her; in magazines, newspapers, and been a guest on numerous television and radio programs. Dana speaks at International Education Conferences and has presented at the Positive Education Schools Association Conferences around Australia, the Positive Schools Mental Health & Wellbeing Conferences in Asia and Australia, The International Conference on Education in Hawaii, and the Girls Empowerment Network 'We Are Girls Conference' in Austin, TX. Dana has been nominated for awards such as the Top 40 Under 40 and won awards including Entrepreneur of the Year, Mompreneur Momentum Award, and Girl Advocate of the Year. URSTRONG was also recognized in 2017 by the Government of Alberta, winning the Inspiration Award for URSTRONG's leadership in bullying prevention in schools.

While this change has not been as brutal as the time he lost everything he owned in one night in Cyclone Tracy, this COVID19 change has challenged all of his previously held beliefs about how the world works and tested his renowned enthusiasm for life. It has also brought into laser-like focus Greg’s frameworks for thinking about how to deal with what the world has to deliver. Greg’s concept of four major mindsets rather than simply two will give an incredibly practical insight into how to deal with the challenges that lay before us.

Through a variety of tasks and activities, listeners will explore the impact that mindset has on personal and professional performance and the importance of creating a more empowering personal narrative. Today's podcast is an opportunity to learn how to better deal with the anxiety and stress many people are experiencing due to the uncertainty we face.

Neila Steele graduated from the University of Windsor in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree which led her to accept a position working in the orthopedic ward of a private hospital in Detroit, Michigan. She had the opportunity to take time away from nursing to travel and work in Hiroshima, Japan in 1997. Many doors continued to open for Neila which resulted in her finding her place in the international schooling system as a school nurse and ESL teacher. She worked at the Hiroshima International School until 2007 before moving on to fully authorized IB schools in Baku, Azerbaijan, Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Nanjing, China and currently Thuwal, Saudi Arabia.

Neila is a certified English language teacher and has additional elementary teaching qualifications through the University of Southern Queensland in Australia. She has been a certified yoga instructor since 2005 having completed an intense teacher training program in Ubud, Bali. Her path in yoga eventually led her to finding and connecting with the art of mindfulness which she now integrates into many aspects of her personal and professional life.

Neila continues to bring mindfulness to the teaching faculty and the students at Gardens Elementary School in Saudi Arabia. Her goal is to continue to share the positive effects of mindfulness through presenting, speaking, and running workshops around the world. Neila and her husband Andy are the hosts of the podcast called 4 X Mindfulness.

Let's be honest we have all heard this phrase a lot over the years, but what does it really mean? When the cards are stacked against you, what will you do? Sit back and let life suck you up, or get on the front foot and find new ways to bring joy and happiness to the world?

Join Dale today for a solo podcast as he talks through how he has been able to shift his mindset and make everything that is happening in the world a positive for himself and the people he cares about.

Sam solves problems for students by using simple and useful coaching tools and strategies to help students; dream about their future success, believe in themselves and who they are and to achieve in vital aspects of their lives.

Sams journey to Student Breakthrough has been incredibly insightful.

Sam realised that there is more to education than just data, tests and results. He really wanted to help and inspire students to achieve greatness in every corner of their lives.

For as long as he can remember, we have been so preoccupied with remediating problems that we have not turned our attention to prevention nearly enough. We brush our teeth to stop decay, we bend our knees to lift heavy objects and spare our back, we eat a balanced diet to have a healthy body – but what do we do to establish and maintain excellent mental health? I'm excited that to have Tom on the show today so we can dive deeper into the fantastic work he is doing around the globe.

The daily anxiety that Chris has faced has crippled him. Chris has spent his life savings, trying to find a way out. Medication, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, expensive retreats, hospital stays. Every day has been a battle of survival, and it has nearly cost him his life with suicide, always there as a close companion. Only those who have experienced prolonged deep pain can genuinely understand others facing similar battles. That empathy can't be learnt in a textbook.

In what can only be described as one of the most open and honest podcast chats I have had to date, Chris shares it all. You can reach out to Chris afterwards and thank him for the courage he has shown to record such a gripping epsiode below:

At 26 years-old today's guest, Rob Angel was working evenings as a waiter, while spending days in his back yard with a paperback Webster’s Dictionary, a No. 2 pencil and a yellow legal pad, creating the phenomenally successful board game Pictionary.

Rob and his friends built the first 1000 games together in his tiny one-bedroom apartment. They did not have some how-to-manual to follow when it came to creating a board game. They just did what they loved. Rob and his mates followed their intuition. They worked hard at it day in and day out, keeping an unwavering entrepreneurial spirit of building Pictionary into the global powerhouse that was its destiny.

For the next 17 years, this relentless dedication resulted in distribution in 65 countries in 45 languages, with over 38 Million Pictionary games being enjoyed by people from diverse cultures and backgrounds around the world. Rob sold the brand to Mattel, Inc., in 2001 who now proudly carries on and continues the game's legacy.

Today Rob shares this epic journey and so much more. If you would like to sign up for his upcoming book or follow him on Instagram, you can do so on the links below:

He originally aimed only at taking on subcontractors, but his business grew and he gradually began to specialise in the building up and selling of lawn mowing rounds. By 1989 he franchised his business, and since then Jim’s Mowing has become the largest franchise chain in Australian and the largest and best-known lawn mowing business in the world.

Jim’s Cleaning was launched in 1994, followed by more than 50 other divisions which now operate in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United Kingdom. Jim’s Group now has over 3,800 Franchisees and a turnover of approximately $500 million.

Jim says
“The key to success in franchising is an overriding concern for the welfare of franchisees, and constant improvement in customer service.”

He is still actively involved in the running of the business, is directly accessible to all his Franchisees and to any client with a serious complaint.

He is funding a research program into the epigenetics of social behaviour, a continuation of his PhD work, which he believes could help in the treatment of mental illness and addictive disorders.

His books ‘Biohistory’, Biohistory: decline of the West’, and ‘Every Customer a Fan’ are available on Amazon and from his web site www.biohistory.org.

Damian's story started 15 years ago when he was living in Victoria, Australia. Where he was the owner of a successful bar/entertainment venue and had just purchased another one. In many eyes, Damian had the world at my feet and ambitious plans for the future. Ideas that he felt would make a difference in the world.

However, there were underlying confidence and belief issues which were holding him back and stopped him from really going for his dreams. Damian instead sabotaged everything he'd worked for, and the depression and anxiety which had always lingered below the surface pulled him down.

The anxiety that until then had shown up only as a fear of public speaking spiralled down to the point where panic attacks were making it a battle to leave the house.

In 2007 Damian sold his businesses and headed for the sun in Queensland to sort himself out, get to the bottom of what happened, and rebuild. Damian got super curious on the ways to do that, leaving no stone unturned and trying just about everything that he came across.

During this time Damian completed three years of a Bachelor of Health Science to learn about the body, and course after course after course to learn about the human mind, qualifying him as a Master Practitioner of NLP, Hypnosis and Life Coaching, among other things.

With his new skills and knowledge, Damian began to use what he’d learnt to help others and discovered that anxiety plays out entirely differently for different people. 

Damian continues to learn and has a seemingly insatiable thirst to find what truly works in this field, as well as an obsession in finding the best ways to achieve goals and maximise human potential in general. He is continually seeking to raise his standards and looking for ways to improve while finding the best ways for others to do the same. Damian is looking forward to continuing to bring that information to you via World-Class Friend.

This is a podcast episode that will have a significant impact on so many people, and one that I have thoroughly enjoyed recording. After this episode, if you would like to reach out to Damian and thank him or talk more about everything we have discussed you can do so on the links below:
