The new year often brings a surge of energy and a desire to make big changes, but for busy school leaders, this “new year new you” mindset can quickly lead to overwhelm. Instead of energising you, it can leave you feeling stretched thin, with too much on your plate.
At the heart of both coaching and supervision is the creation of a safe, reflective space which is essential for genuine growth, as it allows leaders to look at their practice from a fresh perspective, enabling clearer, more confident decision-making.
Every academic year has its own rhythm and familiar patterns, and always comes with new wins, unexpected pressures and unpredictable twists. Navigating these demands mental strength, resilience and adaptability, which is where a year-round coaching partnership can make all the difference for a school leader.
