Real World Leadership

(Trauma aware leadership within a constantly changing world)

The world around us is constantly changing and what has worked in the past can no longer be relied upon. There is a growing need for Trauma Aware Leadership where leaders embed an understanding of the brain into their leadership of self and others. This course is designed to support all school leaders (principals, executives and aspiring leaders) and provides information, skills and strategies to support leading for impact whilst also supporting a culture of wellness.

“ You have both created a safe space for self reflection and evaluation and really helped us think about who we are as leaders and how we can prioritise our brains and wellness in order to influence others to do the same and achieve their best. It was a hugely powerful PL that will stay with me for a long time and have a real impact on my practice.”

School Executive
“Excellent two days of self reflection. Having the time and guidance to self reflect on my own leadership and where I want my leadership journey to go was outstanding. Gives you a really sweaty brain.“
