The Element (Sir Ken Robinson)

£4.00

The Element argues that each person has a unique intersection of natural talent and personal passion — their “Element” — where they feel most alive and capable of exceptional performance. Sir Ken Robinson suggests that when individuals discover and cultivate this alignment between aptitude and enthusiasm, they unlock deeper fulfilment, creativity, and meaningful contribution in both their personal and professional lives.

  • From a GLAS Method perspective, The Element aligns strongly with Discovering Meaning, Designing Your Next You, and Self Acceptance. Awareness of strengths, passions, and values helps individuals recognise where they naturally excel, while acceptance allows them to honour their authentic capabilities rather than imposed expectations.

    The principles are strengthened through Manage Your Energy, Holding Focus, and Leveraging Direction. When people operate within their Element, effort feels lighter, focus deepens, and direction becomes clearer. GLAS reinforces that alignment with strengths preserves energy and increases impact.

    Finally, The Element supports Alignment, Joy / Fulfilment, and Compound Impact. Work done from a place of passion and competence compounds over time, creating sustainable success and meaningful contribution rather than short-term achievement.
