Summary
The recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria have left thousands of people killed, trapped and injured, with numbers continually rising. We will be donating all profits from this episode to the Red Cross, to provide help to those affected by the recent earthquakes.
Today, we’re returning to the conversation we had with Lucy Easthope, expert and adviser on emergency planning and disaster recovery. In this snippet, she details how she deals with disaster, from the 9/11 and the July bombings to COVID-19, and the skills she uses to navigate these scenarios. She shares how she is still able to find light, even in the darkest of situations.

| 0:18.0 | And I was thinking, if I was a teacher, what would I teach and how would I teach it? |
| 0:23.6 | And I've actually been inspired by a teacher called Mr. Weeks who reaches out to us regularly |
| 0:30.2 | to tell us that he's created High Performance Lunch Times at his school. So what he does, he gets |
| 0:34.4 | a bunch of kids together to host their own podcast, they invite a guest in and they talk about all |
| 0:39.7 | things, high performance and interview the guest, they do exactly what Damien and myself do on this |
| 0:44.3 | podcast. I would also make sure that I definitely include non-negotiables in my teaching because I think |
| 0:50.5 | that non-negotiables are a thing that children can really simply understand, things that you just |

| 1:15.2 | and my mother-in-law and father-in-law, they're creative, dynamic, inspiring people and that |
| 1:20.2 | is what teaching is. So again, thank you to all the teachers who listen to this podcast, but if you |
