A learning home for school leadership. Live cohorts taught online by Shane Leaning, organisational coach and author of Change Starts Here. A private alumni community. A chart-topping weekly podcast. All built on one simple idea: the best leadership work is done with peers, not handed down as a framework.
Pick the one that fits where you are right now. They're designed to work together — alumni of the Intensive carry on inside The Circles, and everyone is welcome on the podcast.
Schools don't need another model imposed from outside. They need their own leaders to keep getting better at the work in front of them. Practical, evidence-based, peer-led work, at a pace a real leadership role can actually keep up with.
That's what we're for. A learning home for the people leading in schools, worldwide.
A weekly show with the heads, coaches and researchers shaping international education. No sponsored fluff, no consultant-speak, just real conversations you can take into your next leadership meeting.
"Like so many of the best books, Change Starts Here has both universal and personal application. The forty questions take individuals or groups on a deep, useful, reflective journey through change."
Jim Knight · Founder and CEO, Instructional Coaching Group
