What is Purposeful Leadership?
Purposeful Leadership is a five week personal development programme enabling educators to connect back to their purpose in order to be their best. Designed by Naomi Ward, the programme takes educators on a transformational journey in which they expand their self-awareness, capacity and vision.

By the end of the programme each participant will know their greatest strengths, gifts and who they are called to be in the world. With this clarity and renewed commitment, educators become deeply motivated, resilient and able to navigate uncertainty.
 
Why Purposeful Leadership?
Purpose is made up of two elements: who you are at your best and the impact that you are uniquely placed to have. When under pressure, you may find that you lose touch with this sense of self which can lead to feelings of stress. The Purposeful Leadership programme restores your sense of self and guides you to integrate practices into your life that keep you in touch with who you are and what matters most, even in challenging circumstances.

The benefits of completing the programme include:
  • The ability to articulate your strengths, values, purpose and vision;
  • A clear understanding of your leadership identity;
  • Renewed motivation and energy;
  • A healthy relationship with self-doubt;
  • The ability to be resilient through challenge, change and complexity;
  • The confidence to ask for support;
  • Increased leadership presence: the ability to slow down, self-observe and respond rather than react;
  • Peer coaching skills that bring out the best in others;
  • A commitment to a healthy work-life balance and a sustainable career;
  • A greater sense of meaning and as a result, better overall wellbeing;
  • When offered across a school, a culture that is committed to bringing out the best in others, leading to increased engagement and performance.
Creating strong links to individual purpose benefits individuals and organisations alike - and could be vital in managing the post-pandemic uncertainties that lie ahead. McKinsey and Company

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why. Mark Twain
