I was chatting with Brett Griffin about timetables. What if the structures we rely on stop people from doing their best? Worth thinking about. New ep: buff.ly/wwJ8oJE

I used to think being visible was the same as being effective. I chatted with Brett Griffin about why stepping back often helps leaders do better. New ep: buff.ly/02iA9vQ

Here's what gets me buzzing about our Bangkok formative action workshop: you'll have that lightbulb moment where everything clicks, but then we actually help you implement it back at school.

Content + change strategy + support.

That's the combo that works.

“What’s wrong?” might be the worst way to start a staff meeting.

Just had this conversation with Vicky Essebag and Tara Gretton about solution-focused communication and i think it will make you rethink how you run your meetings.

Beware the misuse of the term 'alignment', used to disguise rigid, consistent, high-fidelity uniformity, directed by decades-outdated Command-and-Control management systems.

“Hold hypotheses lightly”

Love this page from @scottinghatt.bsky.social @ @mradamkohlbeck.bsky.social in Coaching Walkthrus.

(And you both look like absolute rockstars in the @olicav.bsky.social graphics)

I’ve been devouring Coaching Walkthrus this week.

This part on learning walks is particularly relevant- the framing of the observation is everything!

Just stepped out of two keynotes from Richard Culatta and Baroness Nicky Morgan here at Festival of Education USA.

My word of the day? Humanness.

Now heading into my talk on leading change, trying to connect that humanness to how we actually lead our organisations.
