The two climate crises. I enjoyed this conversation with on Education, Leadership and the Environment. Hope you do.

Please listen to the interview here

 

“As a professor of leadership, host of this podcast, and constant student of acting by my environmental values, I live and work in the intersection of leadership, education, and the environment.

Ken Robinson does too, but with a big difference: he’s been here for decades longer, actively practicing in each. This episode approaches each of education, leadership, and the environment from several perspectives.

I can’t say anything better than his voice carries the wisdom and vitality of someone who has worked here for longer and with greater passion than maybe anyone I’ve met and I’m in this world.

I’ll keep this writing brief. Let’s listen to Ken Robinson.

One last caveat: our schedules meant recording by phone, meaning the audio quality isn’t like being in a studio, but I believe you’ll find Ken’s message transcends the medium and hope you listen for what he says, not the equipment.

Show Notes :

Here is the Robert Ardrey quote from the 1961 book African Genesis that Ken said at the end:

But we were born of risen apes, not fallen angels, and the apes were armed killers besides. And so what shall we wonder at? Our murders and massacres and missiles, and our irreconcilable regiments? Or our treaties whatever they may be worth; our symphonies however seldom they may be played; our peaceful acres, however frequently they may be converted into battlefields; our dreams however rarely they may be accomplished. The miracle of man is not how far he has sunk but how magnificently he has risen. We are known among the stars by our poems, not our corpses.”
