Do you struggle to achieve your big dreams for your school? In this book, Nadia shows you how you can master headship, tackle the tough bits and make your school successful.

This is a book for Headteachers who need some support with the best way to manage the complex range of relationships in a school, while pushing forward to achieve strategic goals.
Nadia, former Headteacher and school leadership coach, challenges you to look within for the answers to difficult situations and to think bigger about your potential to influence.
If you want to to learn some new ways to manage your work and think more broadly about being a Headteacher, this book will help you. Nadia draws on over 20 years of leadership and coaching in schools to bring you the key issues facing Headteachers as well as some ways forward. Through mindset work, strategic planning and some work on yourself, you can be fulfilled in headship even in the most challenging circumstances. This book shows you how. Be prepared to look inward, to look at things differently and to grow and learn. You can be happy in headship without compromising your well-being.
“This book is a great guide for any headteacher, either new to the profession or deeply experienced. Striking the balance perfectly between compassion and pragmatism it gives practical advice on how to thrive in headship, whilst staying true to your values and managing the multiple challenges that come with the role. Having been a headteacher I know that it is one of the best jobs in the world, but also one of the hardest. Nadia sets out how the job can be both manageable and enjoyable. This is an honest, insightful and empowering book for any school leader.”

"This will help great leaders get even better. A sensible, thoughtful and important book that is evidenced and experienced based giving a real insight into a range of strategies, techniques and advice that will help school leaders improve their practice, look after themselves and ultimately be better at what they do. Nadia encourages leaders to ignore the noise that surrounds the role. If you can, it will enable you to recognise the behaviours and traits that we should all be aware of so we can reflect, make informed decisions, look after ourselves and those around us and do what we all want to do.....provide an incredible education for our young people."

As well as being a motivational call to arms, Nadia’s book is packed with simple, user-friendly tips, strategies and approaches for leaders to use.”
