Melanie Macmillan and Danielle Porter: The Public Education Foundation, lessons from Harvard and the power of public education.

I have another very special episode for you today.  Melanie Macmillan and Danielle Porter are both public school principals who were worthy recipients of a scholarship from The Public Education Foundation. The Public Education Foundation’s Harvard Club of Australia Education Scholarship enables three principals of Australian government primary or secondary schools to undertake a short professional program at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. The Public Education Foundation is an incredible not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing life-changing scholarships to leaders in public education and enhancing the value and reputation of public schools. Melanie happens to be my boss and has impacted my career more than she will ever know.  I hope that you enjoy this conversation with Melanie and Danielle.  Here is the case study on Everest that we mentioned: https://hbr.org/2001/10/the-leadership-lessons-of-mount-everest
