Ben Sacco is the Managing Director of Education Economy, working alongside schools and organisations to amplify their connection to purpose and passion. He has over 20 years of experience in education and business management, bringing a unique perspective to some of the challenges emerging in the education sector. Ben and Megan met a couple of years ago, connecting over their shared vision of seeing better wellbeing for everyone in schools.
In this episode, Ben and Megan discuss the conditions needed to improve the wellbeing of education professionals and enhance the outcomes for children and young people. They don't shy away from some controversial ideas, like taking time to consider each individual's role in creating better conditions within the profession and the impact of poor change management practices. Both Ben and Megan welcome questions and further discussion that may emerge from listening to this episode.
