I stand for early intervention, not crisis management.
You don't have to wait until you're burnt out to deserve support. Noticing you can't access your strategic thinking like before? That's a signal, not a failing. Early intervention matters.

If I had a magic wand: headteachers would see coaching as strategic strength, not weakness. MATs would invest speaker budgets in sustained support. Coaching would be standard CPD, not afterthought. The heads who access it early? Consistently transformational. #HeadteacherLife #Edusky

Headteachers: you know about balance. The frustration is you can't achieve it. You can delete emails but your brain still runs through staffing at 3am. The problem isn't boundaries - it's constant reactivity. You need to stop operating in survival mode. #HeadteacherLife #EduSky

You've made it to Christmas break. Well done. Enjoy the rest. But if January's already creeping into your thoughts, know this: it doesn't have to be a repeat of last term. You deserve to lead from your strengths, not your survival mode. What would need to change? #HeadteacherLife #EduSky

Telling exhausted headteachers to 'just rest' misses the point. Your nervous system is stuck in crisis mode. You sit down with a book and your brain reviews budget pressures. Real rest requires creating conditions where your strategic brain comes back online. #HeadteacherLife #edusky

If you're struggling as a headteacher, it's not because you're not resilient enough. It's because the system keeps you in constant reactive mode whilst your strategic brain sits unused. The heads who thrive haven't worked harder. They've worked differently. #HeadteacherLife #EduSky

You're sat with family but your mind's drafting January's staffing proposal. They notice the pause before you respond. Being present isn't about switching off - it's about creating conditions where your brain stops firefighting. #HeadteacherLife #edusky

There's a moment in every nativity when a nervous child suddenly beams with pride. That's the festive bit. Not the logistics. Not the complaints. The magic you create for your community, even when it doesn't feel magical for you. Hold onto those moments. They matter. #HeadteacherLife #EduSky
