In this episode of Building a Culture of Collaboration, Kurtis is joined by Hanna Bauer, Founder and CEO of HEARTnomics™, leadership strategist, author of Hustle with HEART, and internationally recognized expert in culture, alignment, and trust.
Hanna brings nearly three decades of leadership experience across education, business, nonprofit, and government sectors — along with a powerful personal story that shaped her understanding of collaboration long before she ever led an organization. As a teenager, her life depended on unprecedented collaboration between multiple hospitals — an experience that became the foundation for her HEARTnomics™ CORE methodology.
This episode is especially valuable for leaders and leadership teams who want collaboration to be more than a buzzword — and instead become a lived, visible part of their organizational culture.
If you’re working to build trust, clarity, and collective efficacy in your organization, this conversation will give you both insight and practical next steps.

What is Building a Culture of Collaboration?
Are you an educational leader or administrator searching for actionable strategies to build effective teams? In the Building a Culture of Collaboration podcast, Jigsaw Learning co-founders Kurtis and Lorna Hewson provide simple, purposeful tips to help you tackle meeting frustration, disengagement, and unproductive teamwork. This is your essential resource for advancing school improvement and collective efficacy.
You will find practical ideas for mastering effective meetings, where you learn the structures, roles, and agendas required to ensure your team meetings (PLCs, staff, student support) are focused and drive action. You'll discover how to shift your organization's mindset from isolated practice to powerful, shared responsibility for ALL students—this is key to teamwork and collaboration. Finally, you'll gain the leadership strategies needed to intentionally build a robust and sustainable culture that maximizes collective capacity and student success. We also talk with thought leaders outside of education, to grow our understanding of effective collaboration and teamwork.
