Episode 4: A portrait of Thom Jones

Episode 8: Education and Running

In this slightly unorthodox episode, we talk about what connects running and international education. The three guests come from different parts of the international education scene but share a passion for running – and through personal stories, they talk about what they have learned from the training and challenges they have taken on that has had an effect on their professional life. An episode about running – absolutely not only for runners.

AI has arrived – and it's here to stay in the world of education consultancy too.
