School leadership development programs

  • How I work

    Small and deep.

    I don’t believe in one-off programs. Leadership development takes time, and compounds with practise.

    I prefer to work with a small number of schools over several years, so we grow and develop together as practitioners, focusing on the real problems your leaders face day-to-day.

    Where to start

    Take the High-Performing Teams Assessment. Your results come straight to me and become the starting point for our first conversation. Or explore the school programs I offer and get in touch.

    School programs

    Three ways I work with schools.

    Team Development: For senior leadership teams who want to lead together. A pre and post High-Performing Teams diagnostic, four half-day sessions, a team charter and a debrief report, so you can see the growth as well as feel it.

    Senior Leader Reviews: Honest, structured feedback for senior leaders. Each leader gets a psychometric profile, survey questions written for your school, a 90-minute debrief and two coaching sessions.

    Middle Leaders Program: Five flexible face-to-face modules: leading yourself, purpose and wellbeing, challenging conversations, high-performing teams, and leading change.

    Coaching and frameworks

    Building systems that cultivate growth.

    High Performance Coaching: Space to think for leaders who carry a lot. A minimum of three sessions, individually or as a team, with reflection prompts, optional psychometrics (LSI, DISC, 360s) and a summary of next steps.

    Leadership Capability Frameworks: A shared picture of what good leadership looks like in your organisation, built with your people and grounded in evidence. I've led this work at system scale, including frameworks for CEWA and MACS.

    Why work with me

    I am committed to the art of engagement.

    My approach to leadership comes from three places: my years as a teacher, my doctoral research on leadership, and my work alongside leaders in schools.

    Sessions are evidence-based, practical and never boring. I use storytelling, games and experiential learning, with time built in to reflect and think together. Leaders leave with skills they can use on Monday, not just good memories.

    I have worked with large school systems across Australia to develop thousands of leaders.
