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
Mental Health Is Not a Diagnosis
We have made mental health complicated. What a decade of awareness campaigns missed and what a child's story gets closer to.
"It's The Parents' Fault": How Schools Blame Families Instead of Fixing Systems
A Year 5 girl said school felt like a jail. What children say when adults actually listen, and what it reveals about who the system is serving.
Bullying Is a Trauma, Not a Phase
A child who has been bullied learns something about whether the world is safe enough for their voice. That lesson does not disappear when the bullying stops.
When Children Can't Tell Their Story
One in five children in the UK experiences adverse childhood experiences. What happens to their voice when no one asks the right question.
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.
