Know Your Leadership. Grow Your School

This a webinar for school leaders designed to help them honestly assess the health of their leadership culture before committing to a professional development plan. The session draws from three common leadership tensions in schools: middle leaders struggling with the transition from teaching to leading; senior teams that appear aligned but are relationally disconnected; and capable educators who haven’t found their leadership voice, leaving school culture reactive rather than purposeful. The webinar introduces DISCFlow Leadership Profiling, a behavioural framework that helps leaders understand their own communication style and decision-making tendencies whether they’re driven by results, relationships, harmony, or precision and how to adapt their approach to reduce conflict and build influence. Takeaways include a framework for understanding leadership behaviour, strategies for improving team communication and trust, insight into what’s holding the culture back, and a foundation for a tailored professional development plan. The webinar is aimed at principals, deputies, heads of department and aspiring leaders.
