You don’t change the system. Nobody does. Nobody can. You can build the first blocks of the new system, though, and see who joins you. Every month I sit down with Mykel and four others to talk about making magic happen for others. We’re both entrepreneurs, people who build stuff and see if anyone else sees what we see. Sometimes they do, and we can put food on the table. Other times the idea fizzles out; they fizzle out like a fire that’s not been stoked enough. In his Do talk, Mykel tells a story from Kimberly country in North West Australia. If you don’t like the atmosphere around the fire you’re sitting at, you don’t have to sit there. And you don’t have to complain about it loudly, either. You don’t change the atmosphere to a positive one by being negative. You can gently walk away and build a different fire. And even if no-one sees you do it at first, if the atmosphere is warm everyone will come to join you. Watch his talk. It’s a warm fire.

We need more warm fire-builders in our schools. Sign up is open: https://lnkd.in/dB39MaM)
