#189: Greg Mitchell | Mr Enthusiastic Himself

Listen on iTunes

Listen on Spotify

Last month Greg Mitchell was an international education consultant delivering workshops and conference keynotes to schools and teachers all over the place. This month Greg is learning the whole new language of online delivery to teachers and schools from his spare room!

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.
