Developing your Personal Operating Model

 

Free Course
Facilitator - Sharon Hennam-Dale

In recent years, resilient leadership in schools has been tested in the extreme, and the challenges continue.  To be resilient leaders, we must first sustain our own well-being so that we have the ability to lead and effectively guide our staff and organisations.  Your priorities, roles, and use of time are all key elements of how you operate as a leader. These need to be aligned at an individual level so that we are able to maximise our mental, physical, and emotional energies.

In this session, you are encouraged to recognise and create the alignment which is needed in order to be at your most productive. We will explore this through the design and development of a personal operating model for well-being, to help you to achieve and sustain positive self-care in response to the challenges of school leadership.

Audience

Headteachers, Deputy Headteachers, Assistant Headteachers, SENCos, aspiring senior leaders

Aims
