KATE MARKLAND | THE JOURNAL
The Answers Are in the White Space.
Reflections on imagination, trust and the power of being heard, at eight or at eighty.
Thoughts and Evidence
The Habits We Lost Without Noticing
Children do not lose their stories when habits change. They lose the daily moments in which those stories find their way out.
No One Has a Crystal Ball. Act Accordingly
No one who has ever been surprised by a child should believe they can forecast the story that child will eventually tell. What the prediction research actually shows.
She Is Not Addicted. She Is Understimulated
The child who cannot put the phone down is not addicted. She is waiting for someone to ask the right question.
Play Is How Children Make Sense of Their World
UNICEF confirms what children already know. Play is not a reward. It is how children build confidence, process emotions, and discover what they are capable of.
BOOK KATE TO SPEAK
Build a world together, and trust follows.
Your people are being asked to trust each other across distance, across generations and through constant change. Most have never been shown how.
Kate Markland has. For a time she had one hour a week with her son Gabriel, on a FaceTime call. They spent it building a world. She asked one question, wrote down everything he said and corrected nothing. That world became three books and a method tested in nine UK schools.
In her keynote, Create the World You Want, Kate shows your audience how trust is really built, and gives them a method they can use the same evening.
For leadership, education and family audiences.
