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
Unlocking Hero Status: The Simple Truth About Engaging the iPad Generation
How do we engage the iPad generation? The answer is deceptively simple: stop being the hero. Give the role to the child.
It Is About the Way Things Are Done
Every child notices how things are done. Those memories become part of the story they carry about whether the world is trustworthy. What procedural justice research shows.
What is Therapeutic Storytelling?
People expect a teaching methodology. What they get is something closer to what Kate practised for twenty years in physiotherapy clinics: therapeutic listening applied to creative expression.
Why Children's Stories Should Be Written by Children
Almost every book a child reads was written by an adult. What is lost when a child never sees themselves as the author.
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.
