All About Growth

Eiiiindelijk weer een nieuwe aflevering van de All About Growth Podcast. En gewoon efkes heerlijk ouderwets in het Hollandsch. Wat is dat toch fijn om in m'n harttaal te kunnen kletsen. Dan voel ik me echt wel 1000 keer meer mezelf. In deze aflevering beantwoord ik vragen die via Instagram zijn ingestuurd en gaan o.a. over bomvolle agenda's, hoe we kerst en Sinterklaas vieren, Flow School/The Flow Approach, hoe het met de kids gaat en met mijn werk. Ben niet overal aan toegekomen, maar er is wel een mooie rode draad ontstaan: Over hoe wij ons eigen eigenwijze pad kunt volgen en patronen ontwikkelen waar wij zelf volledig achter staan en die dus bij ons passen.

Shortest podcast episode ever! But still fun and lots to think about and grow from.

On this episode, I am asking Thaddeus to share his thoughts about the question: How important am I actually? ‘How important am I actually?’ is the title of my (Annette de Graaf) 3rd book and I’m currently doing research about this topic by learning about different perspectives on this topic. Thaddeus (my husband!) was the first person I interviewed and I love the takeaways we both got from this conversation. Hopefully, it will give you some new insights too! Love, Annette

Join Annette de Graaf, founder of Flow School Norway, as she reflects on her inspiring week at the HundrED Innovation Summit in Helsinki. From unplanned adventures through the city to thought-provoking discussions on education’s future, Annette shared insights on wellbeing, human flourishing, and the transformative power of connection. Discover how Finland is recreating education systems, the role of mental wellbeing and how to turn big ideas into impactful action.

Wat een interessant onderwerp om over te denken en leren: wanneer doen mijn ideeën, mening, gedachten en gevoelens er nu wel en wanneer niet toe? Wanneer draagt het delen ervan toe aan een fijne(re) situatie en wanneer juist niet? Annette is al jaren aan het oefenen met oordeelvrij(er) leven en deelt in deze podcast wat ze daarover geleerd heeft.

In this episode, Annette de Graaf, founder of Flow School Norway, sits down with educational expert Fenesha Hubbard, author of The Equity Expression: Six Entry Points for Nonnegotiable Academic Success. Together, they explore how research-driven principles can be applied to create true equity in education, especially in personalized learning environments like Flow School. Fenesha shares actionable strategies for integrating mental health into the daily routine of schools, ensuring that learners are not only academically challenged but also emotionally supported. They discuss how equity and the growth mindset intersect, touching on Annette’s book Let’s Grow: Raising Children with a Growth Mindset, and how educators can foster a learning environment where every learner is encouraged to grow at their own pace while maintaining fairness. Join us as we dive into practical steps for making equity a reality, nurturing mental health, and promoting authentic learning experiences in schools.

Voorproefje van m'n nieuwe boek!

I denne podcasten gir jeg deg et glimt av hva som er viktig for oss på Flow School og hvordan vi tror vi kan støtte elevene våre til å trives i livet. Flow School Norway åpner i Tysvær kommune (nord vest på siden av Haugesund) i august 2025 for elever fra 1-10 klassetrinn. Annette de Graaf er Flow Schools grunnlegger.

In this episode Annette de Graaf talks about the power of mindset choice, as well as about the power of kindness. She explains how these two are connected. Annette is a mother of 3, wife of 1, Mindset & Flow Coach, founder of Flow Learning & Flow Schools and an IB World Schools educator.

In this episode I will talk about the importance of a strong connection with your children is in order to raise them with a growth mindset.
