The Flourish Movement is an evidence-based program that builds sustainable and effective leadership practices to improve your performance, as well as wellbeing, enjoyment of the role and impact on others.

Often, school leaders work in a way that meets the needs of others (open door policy, have to be the first to arrive and last to leave, solve other people’s problems, etc) but leaves them with not enough time to get to the important strategic activities that have the greatest impact on their school. This role is a vocation for them, one of service. However, this mindset and associated habits can lead to unsustainable leadership practices that become detrimental for their leadership, their wellbeing and the performance of the school.

Flourish focuses on a combination of practices that maintain your (physical and emotional) wellbeing and strategies that increase your effectiveness as a leader. Recent research and data shows, not only the clear link between effective leadership and personal wellbeing, but also how much the role of a school leader impacts student and school outcomes. In fact, international research conducted by the OECD found that, in the six years of the study, not once did they come across ‘a school improving its student achievement record in the absence of talented leadership’.
