In this conversation, I share:

▫️ My professional and personal highlights of 2023

▫️ My Summer reading list

▫️ And so much more…

You can quote us on that…

“The highlight of this year has been the incredible big-hearted educators and school leaders that I have had the honour of working with this year.”

Meg Durham

“As someone that is so wired to strive to do more and more and more, I have been really practising and being deliberate about the art of arriving and getting to a space of ‘enough’.”

Meg Durham

“The more heartfelt and honest conversations we have, the more we move the collective forward.”

Meg Durham
