Summary:
In this episode of Beyond the Status Quo, Tamara and Kathryn speak with Tiffany Beck, Head of Education at PLMR and co-founder and chair of trustees of Maritime Academy Trust. Tiff makes the case that governance and communication are built on the same foundation: relationships treated as infrastructure, not afterthoughts. She traces this back to a school in the US, where raising a welfare concern about a classmate was met with "pray it will be fine," through to building a board culture based on trust rather than catching people out, and school systems designed around listening and connection before problems arise. Her closing advice: find the humour, even in hard times.
