Join us in this conversation as we explore how education influences our capacity to change and why Serena and I are both learning addicts (not always a good thing!). We chat about Serena's change model (Acquirer, Performer and Evolver) and how each of these profiles might influence the way we change. Our conversation takes a small de-tour into 'the passion hypothesis', as we talk about if 'following your bliss' really is a good idea and then we come back round to talking about understanding nuance and how education promotes personal growth.
