Summary

Imagine if… creativity was as important as literacy, maths or science? What could we, as a species, be capable of achieving if we prioritised it and gave it the right conditions to flourish?

These are questions posed by the late great Sir Ken Robinson. His daughter and closest collaborator Kate Robinson now continues his work which she describes as being a ‘love letter to human potential’ and Holly was lucky enough to meet with her recently.

In this interview, Kate shares her wisdom on how we should be raising the next generation when it comes to their education and allowing them to find the ‘element’ that they love most – a phrase that Holly likens to ‘finding their diamond’.

Kate delves into her own experiences and struggles with the constraints of the education system, and explains how we should be communicating with our young, why university is not the only option to achieve a successful career, and also how the education system is quite literally killing the young people of today.

Is there hope for change? You’ll have to listen to find out…

0:06.8	woman Kate is. This is Kate Robinson, who is the daughter and collaborator of the educationist
0:14.1	Sir Ken Robinson. You know the one, don't you? So Ken Robinson, who created the most listened
0:22.4	and watched TED talk of all time. I think it's 75 million views at this point in time. As I said,
0:30.4	it's been mind-blowing stuff, imagining what's possible for our children in the future. What's happening
0:38.2	to our children in the education system today? You can imagine I was taking notes for Harry.
0:43.6	What is the future? What is the future of this incredible generation? So grab that notebook, as I say,
0:51.3	take notes, have conversations with your children. I think one of the most beautiful things that Kate
0:58.3	said is trust in your children. Listen to them and find out who they are, not what they want to be,
1:06.0	what you want them to be, but find out literally who they are and celebrate that. It's just been one

1:47.9	a business doing what you love is the key to a happy fulfilled life. My dream is to help everybody
1:54.4	start theirs. I'm here to offer advice, inspiration, wisdom and encouragement and in my view,
2:02.0	the best way to do this is by sharing stories. So I've reached out to my favourite small businesses,

2:24.0	Hi Kate, I am completely thrilled to be speaking to you today. Your father, the late great
2:31.1	Sir Ken Robinson, was a man with such a beautiful mind and one who spent his entire life dedicated
