I’ve learnt so much from Educating Matters. They give free, practical advice and tips in a really accessible way. I frequently forward/share with friends and family articles they’ve posted as really feel they can make a difference to overall happiness and well-being. I’m really grateful to them.
Rachel has taught me so much and is one of the best educators I know. Her courses are amazing and she delivers again and again. I have learned so much from her.
I heard Rachel on a podcast today and I recalled the years of help she gave our employees with their wellbeing. I was pleased to find that Rachel and her cohort at Educating Matters are still doing what they’ve always done. As well as a diversity and inclusion award, they should also be entered in the lifetime achievement category!
I found Gwen’s talks from Educating Matters were inspiring in making the case for advocacy. Diversity and Inclusion is helped by these talks at our client companies. The advocacy principle ties in well with the “don’t be a bystander” campaign which has helped reduce school bullying at my daughter’s school. By educating our daughters in these best practices we can reduce the bullying tendencies, which are probably designed by evolution; so bullying is hard to overcome. The films like “Mean Girls” and books like “Queen Bees and Wannabes” show this. Talks by Educating Matters are key in educating parents to help their companies and their own children in anti- bullying of all forms. Surely a deserved nomination for an award in Diversity and Inclusion.
Rachel has provided excellent advice and support. Her techniques really helped during lockdown. The small simple tricks and techniques I learned from her can really transform children’s attitude and behaviour in a very positive way. Her tips are positive and easy to understand.
Rachel is a clear and passionate voice that helps parents engage with and understand the needs of their children. Educating Matters came to a workplace event at Mercer many years ago and i have followed her on linkedin ever since. I find her social media feed is like a strong blast that allows me to calmly reflect on parenting, what the aims are (to create independent and well balanced grown ups) whilst she provides great tips on how to empathise and engage with our children – at all ages. I have found her posts really helpful as my children have grown up. I will alway read what she posts, but rarely will i engage in a discussion – but i wonder if she appreciates how important she is for me and likely many other working parents who appreciate a nudge in the right.
