There’s been many conversations on this podcast about the influence one person can have in our lives. Humans need one consistent mentor to guide and champion them through the formative stages and into adulthood.

Those influences come from not only within the family dynamic, but other people we spend time with, like teachers.

How often have you heard a story about that one teacher in someone’s life, who took the time to understand, listen, and encourage? Dr Kathryn Murray told us in EP 6, it takes a calm brain to learn, therefore one would think a calm and dedicated teacher is required.

Karen Argus is one of those teachers, also the Principal at Eungella State Primary School, she has experienced the full gamut of small schools in more than 30 years of education.

From cities to small country towns and the Queensland outback, her careers choices have led her to appreciate the smaller regional schools – where she has expanded her skills to a trauma-based approach.

In episode 10 Principal Karen Argus shares a vision of a future we can all aspire to.

What’s more important than nurturing our future leaders? What we teach our children needs to be holistic and well rounded. A balance of life skills, critical thinking, and an understanding of accepting our differences.

Do you know someone who has a story to share about their childhood, parenting, world views, or expertise that shapes a better world?
