WHY SELF-LEADERSHIP? WHY NOW?

To lead, work and thrive in the complex landscape of education is challenging.  It always has been. The demands, pace and complexity of being a leader in education in this time calls for new levels of resourcefulness, resilience and self-regulation.  Working in a constant state of reacting, responding, resolving and managing makes costly demands on personal and professional resources. 

When leaders are able to steward their personal resources and energy, balance may be sustained. In this state of alignment personal and professional intentions are more likely to be realized..

This calls for a professional literacy of self-navigation and personal efficacy. This is the hidden curriculum we were not taught at school - the skills, practices and mindsets of personal wellbeing for professional thriving.

Self-leadership for educators is personal development in the professional space.  Leadership 4.0 starts with self.  You have to live it to give it.

Transformative leaders practice self-leadership. They are professionally capable, socially competent, AND skilled, compassionate stewards of themselves and others. They tend to their inner and outer landscapes in equal measure. 

Is this you?

Are you...?

  • Striving  to maintain focus on your purpose as well as your career path?

  • Facing a career decision  (Renew?  Relocate? Recruit? Retire?)

  • Seeking ways to deal with the challenges of your role with greater skill and agility?

  • Seeking to recover a sense of balance in life - personally and professionally?

Do you want to...?

  • Be high-functioning and highly satisfied?

  • Sustain and steward yourself with clear intentions aligned with habits, practices and boundaries?

  • Make choices, changes and decisions aligned with your identity, beliefs, values and goals?

  • Adapt and thrive through challenge and change - personally and professionally?

  • Live a life of high impact and high efficacy professionally and personally?

As you navigate this time of challenge and change, you may be seeking direction and clarity. 

As you transition to a new chapter or decide on a new path, you may be ready to explore possibilities or alternatives.  Making conscious choices will support you in living and working in alignment with your true self, your unique strengths, and your personal beliefs and values.

Self-leadership… is about influencing ourselves, creating the self-motivation and self-direction we need to accomplish what we want to accomplish.
