I'm excited to be speaking twice at this year's ResearchED National Conference and spent this afternoon finishing off my slides. Thanks for having me @hgaldinoshea @tombennett71 @researchED1

Today we speak with the quietly brilliant Sam Fitzpatrick. We learn more about his wiggly career path, what he values most in friendship, and how a New York City school taught him that you can have Joy and Rigour at the same time. Spotify -

Great comments and I think I might have done them all 🤣 I did the lollypop stick questioning but even worse I would remove their stick so they didn't answer a question for the rest of the week 🫣.

RT @P_A_Kirschner: GIVEAWAY! We have a few copies of our - @C_Hendrick @DrJimHeal @P_A_Kirschner - new book to give away. Bonus points if y….

I continue to be amazed at the stuff I am learning from outside of Education (probably shouldn't be so surprised 🫣) The question is, how far is your gaze? Get Loads more of these infographics and much more in the Leadership Launchpads book -

This week we get to speak to the original PUNK leader Keziah Featherstone FCCT and explore why everyone should be 10% braver, why purpose is so important, and how a postcode conversation changed her life. - Spotify - website -

Yes, we are continuing through the summer 🎉🤪 In this episode we speak to a 'old' colleague of mine and explore how there is no perfect leadership style, how he would love some more patience, and how a fortune cookie changed his life!

Relationships shouldn't be transactional but often they are in some people's minds and so leaders do need an increased awareness of the deposits and withdrawals they make - BOOK LINK -

Wow, thanks again for all of the support and feedback on the book so far. I'm humbled by the response its getting. If you haven't been keeping up here is a summary which hilariously will either mean you don't need the book or you want to know more 🤣

Going down the list, I think I can tick pretty much all of these off 😅 I guess being aware is the first step to management so at least that's something positive -

In this episode we spend time with the energising and inspiring CEO of PIXL, Rachel Johnson. We explore the importance of self-care, why belonging is not guaranteed, how a car accident led to love and why trust from above is so important for confidence. -

In this final chapter we look to the future and how to build confidence in an ever-changing world. We will suggest that not all types of self-efficacy are created equal and that the development of the big three hold the key to all others.

It feels strange to celebrate the presence of a wicked problem but looking closer their may be a silver lining. Learning, innovation and increase belonging may all be on the other side

In this episode we chat to the coach and experienced system leader, Dr Jim Rogers. We delve into what he feels most grateful for, why we need to look past the seductive, the power of soft skills and how stepping into his suit was a key ignition point. -

In this chapter we introduce the concept of confidence control and explore the idea that extreme confidence is not our goal and can bring with it some negative associations.

And now for the big one!! In this chapter we pull all the previous learning together to introduce a framework for those leaders wishing to take back ownership of their confidence development and support the development of others. Routledge

In this chapter we explore two of the more complex phenomena associated with self-efficacy and how as leaders we can help ourselves and others successfully deal with them. @routledgebooks

This feels familiar now for lots of us but that's not a guarantee that it is being utilised or being used effectively - Grab the book if you are enjoying the infographics -

In this chapter we explore how our individual self-efficacy levels can contribute to and be affected by the perceived levels of confidence that exist about a group.

Leaders hold a surprising level of responsibility for the confidence of others and in this chapter we explore the role that they play in the construction and destruction of self-efficacy within their team members.
