Join us to change how you lead forever

The aim of this programme is to set you up for success as a school Principal. It was created to solve some of the most frequent issues that Headteachers presented to me in 121 coaching. Being a Head requires you to have both technical knowledge of the job and great leadership skills. What people sometimes forget is that leading yourself is the critical missing piece of the puzzle, that when neglected, can lead to overload, stress, burn out, broken relationships and many other unhelpful outcomes. Therefore, this programme will aim to equip you with the ability to lead yourself powerfully, allowing you to enjoy your job with high levels of self-confidence, health and happiness.

FAQ

  • How long will it take me to complete the programme?

    This depends on how committed you are to get the work done. If you study online for a couple of hours a week, it will take about three months. If you are on the group programme, which is more in-depth, it will take about six months.

  • Do I have access to anyone to support me?

    If you join the group programme, you will be studying alongside another nine new headteachers or Heads of school. You will join a live training every other week and have access to limited 121 coaching. You also have email access to the facilitator. If you are on the online programme only, there is no extra support. Email [email protected] to request a place on the group training.

  • I already have an NPQH. Will this course be right for me?

    Most definitely! Many heads who are on this programme already have an NPQH. This course fills the gaps in the NPQH as it deals with you as a leader of yourself rather than you as a leader of others.

Pricing options

There are two ways to join the programme. You can study at your own pace at home or you can join the group programme with nine other Headteachers in their first three years of Headship. Email [email protected] to request a place on the group programme.
