In brief
Workshop overview
For most school leaders, the working day doesn’t stop when you leave school. Long hours, constant availability and the emotional intensity of the role can make it hard to switch off. Over time, this takes a toll on wellbeing, quality of life and on your leadership.
Unplugged: How to Switch Off is a practical, evidence-informed workshop designed specifically for school leaders who want to set healthy boundaries, stop ruminating and restore balance.
Drawing on new research with over 500 school leaders, the workshop explores what prevents leaders from switching off, what supports recovery, and how small, deliberate changes can make a significant difference.
You will leave with practical tools and proven strategies to detach, recharge and recover that work in the real world.
Rest. Reflect. Reconnect.
Because switching off makes you a better leader
