I think this could be one of the most useful leadership programmes anyone's built for school leaders. Early conversations with partners globally are backing that up.

If you're tired of programmes that inspire for a week then disappear, this might be worth looking at.

Our January cohort is exceptional. I'm not overselling this - the applications genuinely surprised me. Leaders from Asia and Europe, all wrestling with the same thing: too much cognitive load, not enough headspace.

You practice them. With real peers. In safe spaces. Then you apply them immediately in your context.

When the basics become automatic, that's when you get your brain back for the work that matters.

Running meetings that don't make people fake illness. Having difficult conversations without spiralling for three days beforehand. Giving feedback that actually changes behaviour.

We don't just talk about these things (and we definitely don't write essays on them).

It clears the cognitive clutter so you can actually BE the leader you already are.

Ten weeks. Ten leadership levers. The practical stuff you do every single week but probably never properly learned.

Brilliant educators, excellent leaders, all saying the same thing: "I know I'm capable of more, but I'm drowning."

So I built something different.

The Education Leaders Intensive doesn't try to MAKE you a visionary leader.

You get back to school still dreading that conversation with your Head of Maths. Your meetings waste everyone's time. You're so mentally exhausted from the fundamentals that strategic thinking is a joke.

I've had this conversation hundreds of times now.

True that!
