Is This You?

You’re in a leadership role – or about to be – but you want more than theory. You want tools that work, clarity around your leadership style, and the confidence to lead authentically in high-pressure environments.

This training is built for you if:

  • You’re new to management and want to avoid common mistakes early on.

  • You feel overwhelmed and unsure how to lead strategically, not just reactively.

  • You manage a team in an education, PRU or support setting and want your leadership to have real, measurable impact.

  • You’re ready to transition into a more senior role but need to build your management skills and strategic thinking.


This session is ideal if you're looking for strategic management training that makes a real difference.

What You'll Gain:

This training session offers a powerful blend of practical tools, mindset shifts and leadership strategies tailored to real-world education and support settings.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A stronger grasp of strategy and strategic management, knowing what to focus on, and why.

  • Increased confidence in leading meetings, managing performance and setting vision.

  • Real clarity about your leadership identity and how to manage others effectively.

  • A toolkit of models and reflective prompts you can use immediately with your team.

  • Space to build emotional intelligence and resilience, which are both key to strong leadership.

  • A refreshed perspective on how to lead with impact, not just authority through practical training for leadership.


Whether you're seeking leadership and management training for school leaders, pastoral staff or PRU managers, this training session bridges the gap between theory and lived experience.
