Understanding Executive Functioning and Cultivating Compassion: A Conversation with Victoria Bagnall

Join Victoria, CEO Connections in Mind CiC, and I as we delve into the importance of removing judgement, fostering compassion, and the concept of 'executive functions'—skills like inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. Victoria highlights how understanding these functions impacts education, personal growth, and professional environments.
We also discuss Victoria's upcoming book aimed at creating neuro-inclusive educational environments.
This episode encourages you - the listeners past, present and future - to embrace human diversity, share knowledge, and cultivate curiosity and kindness in everyday interactions.
