Headship After Hours

Paul Collin

This podcast is for headteachers, executive heads and trust leaders who want to lead well without losing themselves in the process.I'm Paul Collin, former head and leadership coach. I talk about isolation, pressure, governing bodies, staff dynamics, attendance and the inner work of staying grounded. I also run a funded Senior Attendance & Leadership Resilience Check for heads in complex schools — for when attendance feels fragile and rests on too few people.Apply now → https://atrejwhi.formester.com/f/hwL9GCyin/
