Talking Leaders: Preparing yourself for the world that doesn't yet exist

We know how valuable it can be to hear from inspirational businesses and individuals, which is why we are thrilled to present Talking Leaders, a bimonthly initiative that will see a series of exciting and thought-provoking speakers share their life experiences and deliver impactful stories to the AgriLeader community.

In April we'll be joined by Sir John Jones, sportsman, educational professional and inspirational speaker.

Knighted in 2003 for his services to education, Sir John worked most of his professional life in challenging schools across the North West of England, his last post being the headteacher of a large secondary school in Merseyside.

His achievements and reputation for straight talking, leadership and creativity led him to be invited onto various organizations, panels and think tanks including the National College for School Leadership, the DfES Leadership Development Unit, the Teacher Development Agency’s National Remodelling Unit and visiting posts with both Manchester and Liverpool Universities.

Sir John retains a very down to earth approach to education, believing it to be about social change, never just about ticking boxes or meeting targets.

Covering an impressive range of educational issues from leadership and inclusion to organizational development and ‘futures thinking’, Sir John is guaranteed to give all those who come into contact with him food for thought, practical ideas that will make a difference and a genuine and moving sense of awe at the power teachers have to change young lives.

The event will be hosted by Beanstalk.Global with which AHDB is a Partner Sponsor.
