Have a read of my new blog. It's all about using self-compassion as a way to reframe this complex and overwhelming job.

@Headteacherchat This book really helped me decide what to do. I made a little video summarising the key points a while back. You can watch it here

@Headteacherchat Wellbeing is everyone's responsibility, not just yours. It sounds as though you have the world on your shoulders right now, and that's tough. Open up the dialogue and don't feel as though you need to have all the answers.
@Headteacherchat Sorry you feel like that. It can be a lonely role. Reaching out to local heads can be a good way forwards. I've always found other heads to be very supportive. It helps to know you're not the only one.
@Headteacherchat I think the most important thing is the headteachers own mindset. It's so important to take care of your emotions around these things and build up the ability to not take things personally. Seeing interactions as opportunities, not threats, is a reframe I always found useful.
@FirstHeadship I set up a system for myself when I was a head. It really improved my effectiveness & work life harmony. I've now shared it with lots of heads & have put it into an online resource so that more people can access it. You might like to take a look https://t.co/e9VNxX92ng
