School leadership - how to thrive and flourish in complex times: interactive masterclass

Maggie will work with you to explore the complex world in which we live and lead, and help you tap into your own wisdom to cultivate 'leadership presence'.

She will look at how the last few years have bred understandable habits and ways of working in our schools that have kept leaders on 'constant high alert' that are hard to shift.

Topics covered in this masterclass include:

• Ways of working that erode our wellbeing
• How we can build healthier habits
• Enhancing our resilience to help sustain us in the demanding role of school leadership
• How we can stay balanced, calm and secure, even in the most turbulent of times
• The importance of renewing and replenishing ourselves as leaders
• The power of compassion and kindness as a 'change agent' in our schools and how wholehearted leadership is a 'super power'

Everyone who signs up and attends this workshop will receive a copy of Maggie's book 'Leading with Presence; it's an inside job,' published in 2022 by Cadogan Press.

Who should attend?

This masterclass is for school leaders and line managers in Wales.
