This practical in-person workshop is a repeat of the first in a series of four held in 2024 and is designed to empower and equip middle leaders in North East schools. Designed as a valuable complement to NPQ content frameworks, these discounted sessions will provide valuable tools, strategies, and insights to help you enhance your leadership skills and make a positive impact in your school community.

School leadership is not easy at the best of times and thus being able to maintain our personal resilience and resourcefulness even at times of pressure and uncertainty, is a vital capability. In this session we will explore what stops us (and others) from being at our best as a leader and explore the beliefs, patterns, and qualities within us that drive these reactions, so that we can more readily return to great, authentic leadership.

This session will cover:
• How to recognise when we are not at our best and the impact this has on our leadership.
• Understanding the 'mindtraps' that commonly derail us and what triggers these.
• Discovering strategies and tools for managing our state and supporting others to regain their resourcefulness.

The workshops are suitable for phase leaders, heads of department, and anyone aspiring to a senior school leadership role. If you need a boost to help you lead at your best, strengthen your people leadership skills, or to take on a bigger leadership role with increased confidence, then these sessions are for you!

Each workshop will be facilitated by Kerry Lord, BTS Spark leadership consultant and partner for the North East. Kerry is a qualified coach, an experienced facilitator, and an ex-headteacher.

Don't miss this opportunity to grow and develop as a leader!
