The power of ‘I don’t know’ & safe space in schools! Joanna Hotung #7 Pt.1

Awkward Turtle At Work

Aug 21 2023 • 26 mins

One of the best conversations I’ve had so far on the show & I will be splitting this up into 2 episodes!

Everyone is talking about safe spaces, but how do we actually create them? The schools need them, the workplace need them, and frankly in society. As always we chat about these topics with the Asian perspective:

  • Failure and the power of ‘I don’t know!’
  • The intergenerational gap in the workplace
  • The ‘human’ skills we need to hone in on
