Building skills and confidence as a new educational leader in a children’s education and care service takes time and practice. Start small and get guidance and support throughout.
Placing an expectation on ourselves to know everything straight away and get it perfect the first time creates a lot of unnecessary stress. Break the task down into manageable steps and get support and guidance throughout the process. You don’t need to carry the burden alone – it’s OK to ask for help.
Ensure you’re working within the boundaries of your role and skill level. It’s easy to get carried away looking at all the possibilities – keep your eye on the smaller tasks first and before long you’ll be achieving your goals without breaking a sweat.
It Takes A Village provides educational leader coaching and training. You can work with an experienced consultant who will support and guide you through the challenges of educational leadership.
Bring clarity and confidence to your role with ITAV’s coaching and training packages for educational leaders.
