Overview
In today’s fast-changing, high-pressure environment, technical skills aren’t enough. Leadership in the post-16 education and training sector must evolve—shifting from process-led management to people-centred influence. Without values-driven leadership, organisations risk fragmented cultures, stagnant progress, and underperforming teams.
This inspiring and interactive session is designed to help education leaders grow their impact by focusing on the human side of leadership. You’ll explore the mindsets, behaviours and frameworks that shape high-performing, inclusive teams—and walk away with practical tools to build confidence, capability and connection.
From emotional intelligence and psychological safety to Tuckman’s model of team development, this session offers real-world insight with a strong reflective and action-oriented approach. You’ll also explore how effective leadership supports maths, English, digital skills, CEIAG, and inclusion—empowering teams and learners to thrive.
