At Uuna, as a proud B Corp, we are committed to balancing people, purpose, profit, and planet. As part of our 24/25 goals, we’ve pledged to share our passion for creating positive change experiences with the next generation. To support this, we provide paid time off for our consultants to give back in this way.
Recently, Kiran Mistry, our Lead Scrum Master, delivered an insightful talk to around 100 Year 9 students, sharing his journey from being a Computer Science teacher to Automation Engineer to Scrum Master.
Kiran emphasised the importance of soft skills – like great conversations to communicate, collaborate, and listen – essential for creating strong leaders.
While the Q&A session started with curiosity about salaries (naturally 😄), it quickly shifted to meaningful discussion about ‘work-life’ balance and opportunities in IT and business change versus teaching.
Kiran shared how ‘special it was to return to a classroom and feel the energy of shared learning and instant feedback’.
‘It’s moments like these that make getting out into our communities so worthwhile.’ Not just for students, but for those who inspire them.
Here’s to supporting the next generation of leaders. 🌱
