Episode 34 : Ren Wenas
Ren Wenas has a background in Psychology and has worked in the early childhood sector for over 10 years. His roles have included being a therapist for Autistic children, an Early Intervention Coordinator with the NDIS, and a speaker at conferences in Indonesia, where he continues to advocate for inclusive and accessible education in his home country.
Ren has a deep understanding of inclusion and diversity, and he’s incredibly passionate about equitable education for young people. He shared stories from his own professional journey—stories that reflect how his identity as an educator continues to evolves in ways they’ve shifted over time, and how he remains open to change as part of his daily work.
Reflective questions on perfectionism that you can consider as you listen to Ren's stories:
What expectations am I holding onto?
What would it feel like to let go of the need for things to be “perfect”?
How might embracing imperfection open up new possibilities in my teaching?
And what would you say to a friend who might feel frustrated at themselves—could you say that to you?
