Pure Potential

We're thrilled to share our case study of the impact of the journey of transformation experienced by ten education leaders across Manor Hall Trust, supported by their CEO & Chair. A deep dive demonstrating the illuminating shifts experienced on a profound & practical level (link in bio). #edusky

Really interesting to see from the Sustainable School Leadership study report (via @tobygreany.bsky.social) that the transition to headship is challenging & that respondents preferred experiential learning & development (coaching, mentoring) over formal qualifications.

..and here's our lovely group of explorers from across sectors (education & industry) from last week's Opening Ceremony..

#leadership #learning #development

Alongside our latest cohort of leaders exploring the source of potential, we'll be looking at Everyday Flow tomorrow in a workshop & the science that underpins this. Fascinating to see our misunderstandings here & how we innocently try & reverse engineer conditions.

I've worked with 10 headteachers on an immersive programme in the past 3 months with teammates at @purepotential.bsky.social & I want to say what an IMMENSE job people are doing in education to nurture, support, encourage & challenge (where appropriate) children & YP. It isn't often acknowledged.

The value of moving towards (not away from) necessary conversations 👇

A brilliant culmination today of an immersive 12-week learning & development programme alongside incredible leaders from Manor Hall Trust.

It's been a powerful experience reflecting on leadership, curiosity, creativity & potential, when we challenge limiting narratives & ask 'what's possible?'

We have a few spaces on our Flagship Open Leadership Programme (Sept-Dec 25), which is not sector specific.

It's an immersive programme underpinned by a profound & practical approach, grounded in neuroscience, biology & flow science. Pop us a DM for more info.

We're sharing our approach to working alongside organisational leaders to create a Cultural Review, holding the mirror up to their organisational landscape, by drawing rich insights & creating a strategic overview of thematic findings. More info is in the link in the bio :)

Great day of collective exploration yesterday alongside 10 amazing headteachers from Manor Hall Trust. We explored deep facets of leadership, from perception to internal narratives & how they become a filter through which we experience our day-to-day working lives.

Isn't it interesting that nobody teaches us when we're young about the inner commentator or 'chatterbox'? The one that has an opinion on most things & we take as truth?

We're exploring this as part of our 'state of mind' aspect of L&D alongside headteachers in a 12wk immersive programme.

We've been in deep exploration this week with a group of headteachers getting curious about thoughts, beliefs, resilience & potential. It's learning & development on a whole new level, with valuable practical implications in the education landscape. #educhat

Preparing the backpacks ahead of a new exploration next week alongside 10 amazing leaders, who are getting curious about the source of potential :)

#leadership #curiosity #enquiry

It looks like time is currency, but if we're invested in a frantic pace of thinking, there'll never be enough time to get things done.

Can you make space to be curious about where you're placing your attention? Awareness creates perspective, which affects relationship dynamics & how we show up.

We associate 'flow' states with yogis or Olympic athletes - but flow science points to the potential available to every human being, in any given moment.

This is part of the blend of neuroscience, biology & insight-based learning that underpins our approach to #leadership & development.

It's a powerful image.

Growth may not always be visible, but it doesn't mean it's not happening.

Don't underestimate the potency of courage & the power of an accumulation of small steps to create great momentum.

#leadership #growth

Great weekend of team connection & exploring what's possible..

#FridayVibes

It's not just social posts that are (heavily) filtered. We overlook the fact that our experiences are shaped by our lens of perception, which is clouded by conditioning, beliefs & state of mind. It's not just theory, it's practical & highly accessible. Clarity emerges when we understand the design.

What a wonderfully uplifting day spending time with education leaders to explore, when we step back from perpetual 'doing'.

Thanks to leaders from Embark Federation, Potentia for hosting & the team at William Rhodes for showing us how Pure Potential is alive in the fabric of your school. #edusky

A Tuesday reminder for us all of the Pure Potential within us :)

What an excellent webinar exploring the #TLM2025 - the challenges facing education & the vital importance of culture as a key component of retention & recruitment of teachers. #edusky

'As a head I have to set a culture in the school' - @mannybotwe.bsky.social speaking about supporting teachers in a challenging landscape & managing career trajectories.

Organisational culture is pivotal to recruitment & retention.
#TLM2025 @thenfer.bsky.social

Women leaving the profession do so with a heavy heart - @annacmcshane.bsky.social speaking to the systemic challenges in education & the rise of experienced teachers leaving. Retention remains a critical issue.

Really interesting to hear from @mannybotwe.bsky.social about demands on teachers & the need for ongoing coaching support as crucial to staff retention.

At @purepotential.bsky.social We see the profound effects of this in our work alongside education leaders.

#TLM2025 @thenfer.bsky.social

Fascinating insights from @thenfer.bsky.social #TLM2025 report webinar this morning re challenges in teacher recruitment & retention #edusky

There's sthg quite beautiful when leaders share candidly in trusted spaces. The themes are consistent & when we dip below the surface & get curious, our experiences can shift profoundly. #leadership #culture

Really enjoyed writing this editorial for Governing Matters alongside colleagues at @purepotential.bsky.social & leaders across Embark Federation Multi Academy Trust. A deep dive into leadership, team connectivity, cultural alignment & governance in education. #edusky

We are thrilled to feature in the Spring edition of Governing Matters, the National Governance Association's magazine, sharing our learning from an immersive piece of leadership & development work alongside Embark Federation Multi Academy Trust. #edusky
