Schools know how to measure achievement. They are much less certain how to help young people understand themselves. That gap may help explain why so many leave school with impressive results but little confidence about the path ahead.

In this episode of the EdVance Podcast, Devi Sahny, CEO of Ascend Now and The Edge, draws on her experience supporting more than 500,000 students across five continents to explore how schools can help every learner develop the confidence, self-awareness, and sense of purpose needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

She explains why student voice should shape school improvement, why leaders should resist chasing every new trend, how AI is exposing long-standing weaknesses in education, why mentorship is becoming increasingly important, and the leadership principles behind building two globally recognised education ventures.
