One of the key learnings from the Sustainable Leadership project has been the negative impact leadership practice can have on the health and wellbeing of school leaders. This is what prompted the Advocacy & Communications committee of the National Council to develop a position paper on school leader wellbeing, out of which emerged our Be Well, Lead Well campaign.
The underlying premise is that you cannot lead effectively if you are not well enough to do so. As part of the campaign and to further promote your wellness, IPPN commissioned accredited psychotherapist, coach and mental health consultant Sinéad Kennedy to develop a digital series exclusively for IPPN members. The series – entitled Be Well, Lead Well: Burnout Prevention – consists of a 9-step digital series that can be digested at your own pace, whenever it suits you to engage. The emphasis is on prevention by recognising the signs and symptoms of stress and burnout, with practical tips and downloadable resources. It will also be helpful for those already experiencing burnout.
