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 Resilience the System Did Not Record
Family court proceedings produce a record. It documents what professionals observed. It does not document what a child built in spite of what was done to them.
What Gives a Child the Resilience to Face It
The child who survives something difficult and comes through it with their sense of self intact has almost always had one person who treated their story as worth protecting.
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.
The Bullying Nobody Talks About
Every child who is bullied is having their story about who they are overwritten by someone else. The damage is not to the skin. It is to the self.
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.
