Matthew Syed is an author and highly acclaimed speaker, he has written six bestselling books focusing on mindset and high performance, including children's books. In his varied career, Matthew was England’s number one table tennis player for over a decade, and he has competed in the Olympics for Team GB twice. In this episode, Matthew shares his insight into education, parenthood and leadership.
They discuss why it’s so important to bring the growth mindset into education, to teach our children that it’s about how you can develop your skills and talents, not just celebrating the end goal. Matthew shares what he praises his children for and why we should be showing them examples of authentic success, with struggles and set-backs.
They also explore taking risks, creating a space for vulnerability in the workplace and how to find purpose in our lives.

0:05.5 | a couple of big thank yous first of all. Thank you for making January 2023 the biggest |
0:11.8 | month in the history of this podcast for downloads, for views, for interactions, for |
0:16.6 | follows. This is a truly global thing going on here and every country in the world bar |
0:22.1 | a couple that are kind of pretty obvious are listening to this podcast. So wherever |
0:25.7 | you are in the world listening to this right now, thank you so much for listening and |
