The Process of Self-Discovery: With Gavin McCormack

Unbox Your Gift: Passion to Profession Podcast

The Process of Self-Discovery: With Gavin McCormack.

Gavin is a teacher.

But he has taken a profession like teaching and moulded it in to his own DNA. He has made it his own.

He is on the speaking circuit, he's an author, a TEDx Speaker, a futurist AND a school teacher.

This is the definition of unboxing ones gift. Taking a passion and turning it into a profession.

We talk about personal branding - which is your own resume online - what you post, becomes your digital resume and since Gavin has been doing, opportunities not common for teachers have come his way.

So its not always about working for yourself, its about having the self-awareness to know oneself (Hamza Yusuf says: how can we really know other things, if we don't know what's closest to us, which is our own selves)... to serve a purpose greater than our self interest.

As a result Gavin has been:

• Nominated for Author of the Year in 2017, Gavin aims to make a change in society through targeted children’s and parenting books tackling difficult topics.
• Nominated for Australian of the year in 2019 and 2020, Gavin has used his spare time to set his mind to changing the education system in Nepal.
• Was named by Linkedin as one of the ten most influential educators in the world, 2018.
• Was a finalist in the Educator awards hotlist for Principal of the year, 2020.
• Presented at the TEDX Sydney Conference on the highly influential topic of ‘How Education Can save the World’, 2020.
• Single handedly built several schools, libraries and teacher training centres in Nepal, with an aim to revolutionise the education system in the country.
