THE POWERFUL PRINCIPLES™ PROGRAMME


Education is a vocation. It attracts caring, dedicated individuals, like you, who want to make a difference to the children and staff in your school.  

The best way to achieve that is to become the best version of yourself by consciously creating the leader you want to be. 
​
The Powerful Principles Programme is a deep, reflective exploration of YOU.  
We cover 5 core principles that are essential to your success. 

1: The Power of Self
2: The Power of Resilience
3: The Power of Vitality
4: The Power of Competence
5: The Power of Productivity

Join us on this transformative and reflective journey to unlock your leadership potential with the CPD accredited Powerful Principles™ Programme: the missing piece in educational leadership development.

The PPP is for aspiring headteachers, new headteachers, or ambitious Assistant/Deputy Heads who want to excel in their roles with the specific aim of removing the internal barriers to succeeding at a high level.   
​
​By elevating your internal strength and seizing control of your life,  you will empower yourself to lead with impactful influence from day one.   ​ 
Take Control.  Lead with Impact.  Love your Life.

​“The powerful Principles programme has been an essential learning journey for me as I began my first headship.”
​"Learning how to use the Powerful Principles with other new heads has been invaluable.  To hear other stories which reflect what you are going through makes the job much less lonely and to hear how other are succeeding is contagious"
Cohort of 2023/4 
“This year has taught me to realise that as a leader I stand by the judgements I make; I am doing things for the right reasons and to be more assertive particularly with parents! I have definitely become far more resilient as the year progressed.” 
​"Historically, I have quickly descended into the cycle of self-sabotage.  I have found the visualisation techniques invaluable in addition to applying self-compassion.  This has helped me to be bolder and challenge situations […] and remain calm when faced with potential conflict and confrontation.” 

Most leadership courses are about leading other people


​If you're like most of my clients, you came into education because you wanted to make a difference to young people. 

But being a senior educational leader is a whole new level of busy and complicated.

There's the workload, the lack of time, the accountability, the constant worry about balancing the books, the student and staff absence, burn out, balancing rising expectations versus the mental health and resilience of pupils plus the constant worry of Ofsted knocking at the door, and so much more.

Never has it been more important to know how to lead and manage yourself. 

But most courses are about leading other people.....
WHO SHOULD TAKE PART?

The Powerful Principles™ Programme is for three types of delegate:

1: Ambitious, reflective Assistant or Deputy Headteachers with aspirations to progress to Headship.  
2: New Headteachers in their first two years of Headship. 
3: Assistant/Deputy headteachers who want to be brilliant in this role with no imminent ambitions to progress.  

No matter which type of delegate you are, you recognise that the key to your success is to invest in yourself. 
  • You have the desire to self-reflect and enjoy learning. 
  • You care deeply about giving every child a great start in life and know that your leadership can facilitate that. 
  • You may or may not be facing some challenges and suspect these will change if you change. 
  • Perhaps you are clashing with team members or having a hard time managing your time.   
  • Maybe you are losing some confidence or neglecting your health. 
  • Or perhaps you are just determined to be the best version of yourself. 

The most important consideration is that you are ready and willing to self-reflect for the benefit of yourself and those around you. 

This course is NOT for leaders, who suspect they are burning out or are very stressed.  1-2-1 coaching is a better option for this.

This course is by application only to ensure that you are ready and committed to invest in yourself.  Please click the button below to register interest.  Your application will be reviewed and we will be in touch to discuss booking a place.

The Top 10 Benefits of self-awareness in leadership performance


The Powerful Principles Programme is heavily focused on raising your self-awareness because it is only when you are aware of yourself that you can change yourself.  In a study of 5000+ people, 95% thought they were self-aware, but only 10-15% actually are.  This self-awareness gap is a major blind spot in leadership development.   By investing in yourself,  you can enjoy the following benefits: 
​
1. Improved Decision-Making
Self-aware leaders are better at evaluating options, recognizing biases, and making thoughtful, strategic choices.(Harvard Business Review, 2018

2. Stronger Leadership Performance
Self-awareness is a top predictor of overall leadership success and effectiveness.(Cornell University & Green Peak Partners, 2010)

3. Higher Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
Self-awareness is the foundation of EQ, enabling better regulation of emotions and stronger interpersonal relationships.(Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence Framework)

 4. Greater Team Trust and Psychological Safety
Self-aware leaders create environments where teams feel safe to speak up, collaborate, and innovate.
(Google’s Project Aristotle; Amy Edmondson, Harvard)

 5. Increased Employee Engagement and Retention
Leaders who understand themselves and their impact foster stronger connections and greater staff loyalty.
(Gallup Research)

 6. Enhanced Adaptability and Resilience
Self-aware leaders are more open to feedback, better at navigating change, and quicker to recover from setbacks. 
(Center for Creative Leadership)

 7. Reduced Blind Spots and Bias
Self-awareness helps leaders recognize and mitigate unconscious biases that can affect decisions and relationships.
(Eurich Group, 2018)

 8. Better Conflict Management
Self-aware leaders handle conflict more constructively, with greater empathy and emotional control.
(Journal of Organizational Behavior, 2002)

 9. More Authentic and Purpose-Driven Leadership
Self-awareness aligns actions with values, fostering integrity and credibility.
(Bill George’s “Authentic Leadership” Model)
​
10. Improved Organizational Performance
Companies with more self-aware leadership teams outperform peers financially and culturally.
​(HBR; Korn Ferry Research)
We use a range of psychometric assessments and 360 feedback to ensure you get the clearest picture of yourself, so that you can choose what to strengthen, enhance or modify to maximise your impact as a senior educational leader.
