Education and Excellence: Podcast with Professor Martin van Hees
Education and excellence are not about rigid outputs or being ideal, but about nurturing individual growth within a dynamic and ever-changing world. True flourishing involves balancing ambition with well-being, integrating intellectual rigor with empathy, and recognizing that motivation comes not just from external targets but from a deep, intrinsic understanding of oneself. By embracing complexity and diversity—whether in teaching approaches, leadership styles, or personal journeys—we open pathways for meaningful development that honors both societal progress and individual fulfillment.
