As I said for Part 1 of this interview, Jo and I are colleagues as Compassion-focused Coaching Supervisors with The Difference.

He is a Child and Educational Psychologist, Royal Society of Arts and Churchill Fellow, advisor to Foundation for Education Development and Queens Commonwealth Trust, writer, researcher, podcaster and also a very cool human being.

I had originally intended to talk to Jo about the similarities and differences in our work, but there ended up being too many other interesting avenues to go down - mostly around Supervision and working with staff in schools. So this time, I tried to stay focused, and we talked at length about what I try to do and how that differs, or not, from Educational Psychology.
