In today’s fast-changing, high-pressure environment, technical skills aren’t enough. Leadership in the post-16 education and training sector must evolve—shifting from process-led management to people-centred influence. Without values-driven leadership, organisations risk fragmented cultures, stagnant progress, and underperforming teams.

This inspiring and interactive session is designed to help education leaders grow their impact by focusing on the human side of leadership. You’ll explore the mindsets, behaviours and frameworks that shape high-performing, inclusive teams—and walk away with practical tools to build confidence, capability and connection.

From emotional intelligence and psychological safety to Tuckman’s model of team development, this session offers real-world insight with a strong reflective and action-oriented approach. You’ll also explore how effective leadership supports maths, English, digital skills, CEIAG, and inclusion—empowering teams and learners to thrive.

By the end of this webinar, you’ll be able to:
• Understand different leadership styles and how to apply them in vocational education settings
• Lead teams through growth and challenge using proven development models
• Shape a high-performing and inclusive team culture as a leader
• Reflect on your leadership style and build a personal action plan for growth
• Recognise the leader’s role in championing cross-cutting priorities like inclusion, CEIAG, and core skills.

Top takeaways include:
• A deeper understanding of inspirational leadership in the post-16 context
• Tools to support team dynamics, inclusion and performance
• Confidence to lead with authenticity and resilience
• A practical leadership growth plan to implement immediately.
