Change is part of life in early childhood. But leading it can feel heavy. You may know what needs to shift, yet worry about pushing too hard, losing trust, or leaving people behind.

Leading Change Gently explores how meaningful change often happens not through big directives, but through small, intentional conversations. The kind that build trust, invite reflection and create shared understanding over time.

Through stories, practical examples and guided reflection, we explore how empathy, clarity and courage can sit alongside each other in leadership. You will consider how to listen deeply, name what matters, and support growth without rushing or forcing outcomes.

This workshop supports you to:

• Lead change with empathy, clarity and trust, even in uncertain moments.

• Use everyday conversations to influence practice and build shared purpose.

• Balance vision with vulnerability when guiding teams through change.

• Foster a culture where reflection, collaboration and professional growth feel safe and possible.

This session is for educators and leaders who want change to feel sustainable, respectful and human.
