Episode 23 Dorota Owen the Teacher, Facilitator, Speaker and Leader

My guest on the programme is Dorota Owen she is an inspiring leader and equally at home speaking to a conference, delivering a keynote or teaching a class of teenagers. She is a teacher, and that is her first love, the inspiration of people, and there is no better place to start than in schools and with children.

I had known Dorota since I move to Scotland 14 years ago when she welcomed my family as we met her through schools and other groups. I will always remember her capacity to lift a room as she entered. I got to know her better as a Toastmaster. It was there I saw her leadership capacity and watched her skills develop taking on more prominent roles in the environmental movements and sustainability.

Dorota is still a teacher, facilitator, speaker and leader and while teaching is her first love, she also likes to travel. So she chooses to mix it up by travelling speaking and teaching.

I have not seen here much in recent years, as our kids have grown and she travels a lot.

This interview was the result of a chance meeting, and between trips, I hope you enjoy the conversation.
