Shifting Views with Willis

NEW PODCAST 🌟 🎙️ Do we need to rethink University and Higher Education?

I'm joined by the Dean of LIS - The London Interdisciplinary School, Prof. Carl Gombrich. Carl is the creator of the UK's first Arts and Science Degree at UCL and believes that an interdisciplinary approach to higher education is needed to enable students to be able to tackle the complex challenges we face in the world and be armed with a breadth of skills and knowledge to thrive and succeed in the careers of tomorrow (or today).

This insightful chat challenged the existing higher education system and showed how universities must evolve their offer to adapt to an advancing world.

Do universities need to adapt their offer? Is an interdisciplinary approach to education needed?

This is 'Shifting Views with Willis' Podcast.

PROBLEM: Traditional pest control methods are toxic and harm households, pets, wildlife, and the environment.

SOLUTION: Develop a natural pest deterrent using nature as your guide and make it assessable to consumers as a better option.

The pest control products produced by EarthKind exist because of an inquisitive mindset and an entrepreneurial drive to solve a problem. Kari Warberg Block, EarthKind CEO, a former farmer, met this challenge and now owns a household name in the US.

This is innovation, this is entrepreneurship.

So many degrees and academic qualifications are not fit for purpose or reflective of the skills that people actually need in todays world.

Many academic courses are out of date by the time they have been written and completed by students. Often they do not reflect the realities of real working life.

There are some exceptions but for the most part, the best employees are those that are creative, can problem solve, are curious and rational thinkers.

The biggest opportunities for career growth is being a good person. The ability to communicate, network, have interesting conversations, experience different areas of life. Those skills are so undervalued in the education system.

Clip from podcast with Darren Squires discussing curriculum reform.

My highest performing video on TikTok. Closing in on 80k. Seems the education topic, especially on the subject of primary school teaching resonated. It’s so sad that this sector feels so undervalued and unrecognised for the incredible work they do. Darren Squires and I plan to discuss much more in this topic and education as a whole.

But at primary school you are transforming a childs brain by teaching them the fundamentals of words, numbers, science and how langu...
