Leading with Purpose
Using the Golden Circle to guide teams change, culture and confidence in schools
Seminar brief School business leadership is complex and fast paced, with SBLs balancing high expectations, stretched teams and constant change. In this environment, purpose isn't a theory. It is an anchor that sharpens decision making, strengthens culture and keeps teams motivated when pressure rises. This session brings Simon Sinek's Golden Circle into real school and trust settings. We explore how clarity of purpose shapes communication, priorities and behaviour, and how it can be used as a practical leadership tool rather than an abstract idea. We'll look at how purpose plays out differently in different settings, and how it can always support teams through uncertainty, change and growth.
