KATE MARKLAND | THE JOURNAL
Reflections on imagination, trust and the power of being heard, at eight or at eighty.

Adapted from the Smash Your Own Ceiling podcast. How a small boy in Gloucester trying to solve the Middle East conflict in his story became the beginning of everything.

Kate joins Bradford Community Radio at the Bingley Festival to tell the story of how The Adventures of Gabriel began

Two years ago everything changed. One hour a week on FaceTime. What was built inside that constraint and what it proved.

Adapted from the UK Column interview. Gabriel was taken by armed police the week before he turned ten. What happened in the months that followed and what was built inside it.
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.
