Becoming an educational leader is more than a change in title. It is stepping into a role that asks you to see, listen and lead differently. The early days can feel exciting but also uncertain. What is expected of you? How do you balance mentoring, compliance and curriculum leadership without losing sight of relationships and people?

This webinar offers practical guidance for new educational leaders ready to grow their confidence and clarity. You will explore the foundations of strong leadership such as communication, reflection and collaboration, and learn how to turn them into daily habits that inspire growth in others.

Through real examples and guided reflection, you will leave with direction, purpose and a clearer sense of who you are as a leader, along with strategies to help your team thrive alongside you.

What you will come away with:

• A clear understanding of your purpose and influence as an educational leader.
• Practical tools for balancing people, pedagogy and priorities with confidence.
• Stronger communication skills that support mentoring and trust-building.
• A grounded leadership approach shaped by reflection, values and connection.
