Forward Together, Building Trust and Purpose in Challenging Times with George Couros

What this episode covers

In this episode of The Balance, I chat with George Couros about his new book, Forward Together: Moving Schools from Conflict to Community in Contentious Times. We start with the origin story, why he decided to write another book. George shares how this book is structured around principles and perspectives, not quick fixes, and why trust, relationships, and purpose sit at the center of moving forward in challenging times. We dig into the lessons he’s learned through missteps, hard conversations, and personal growth, and how those experiences shaped this book. This conversation is an invitation for educators at every level to slow down, reflect, and consider how we create the conditions for collaboration, belonging, and shared ownership in our schools and communities.
