What It Really Takes To Inspire Meaningful Change Within Workplaces And Schools with Brendon Baker | Episode 9

In this episode of the Well-Led School podcast, I am joined by change leadership expert and author of the book Valuable Change, Brendon Baker. We discuss what it really takes to inspire and create meaningful change within workplaces and schools and how simple mindset shifts, like how we define success, can lead us towards the changes in culture we seek.

He has led and guided over $10 Billion in transformative projects and programs across more types of change than would be reasonable to list out here. Just know that it includes everything from transformations to teddy bears. Through it all Brendon has learned two things:

First – Change is HARD, so we need to ensure it’s worthwhile.

Second – The answer often lies in simplicity.
