"Unlocking brilliance & Empowering Young Minds"
In this episode Jane and Liv chat with Clare Ford, the founder of Switched On Academy, about a variety of topics related to empowering young people. They started by discussing how LinkedIn can be a useful tool for teenagers who are thinking about their future careers and how they can start building their professional network from a young age.
Liv shared how she first met Clare as someone empowering her and Jane bonded with Clare over their shared passion for helping young people to discover and develop their strengths and abilities.
Clare then talked about her journey from being a burnt-out teacher to setting up Switched On Academy, an online learning platform designed to help students unlock their potential and live purposefully.
As an award-winning author, speaker, coach, healer, educator, and parent, Clare is dedicated to helping young people access their natural gifts and abilities so they can discover their true potential. She combines her unique skill set with over 20 years of experience in academic coaching to help children, tweens, and teens become "switched on" learners.
Using her SWITCHED ON! Learning method, Clare helps students unlock their brilliance by understanding their learning style, developing their mindset, and building their confidence. She believes that every child has the potential to succeed and encourages parents and educators to help young people discover their passions and interests.
Overall, the podcast episode was a fascinating discussion about the importance of empowering young people to discover their strengths and pursue their dreams. Clare's journey and expertise in this area provided valuable insights for The School Run listeners to empower young people.
