In this episode, Jenny explores why so many school leaders feel overwhelmed and exhausted by the end of the school year - and what they can do to ensure that 2026 feels more sustainable, intentional, and human. Drawing on decades of experience in education and years of coaching leaders, Jenny introduces Starting Strong, a framework designed to help leaders begin the year, a role, or a new initiative with clarity, purpose, and energy.

She walks through the key elements of Starting Strong, including getting clear on what matters most, setting expectations, communicating well, listening to your people, running effective meetings, prioritising wellbeing, and deciding in advance the kind of leader you want to be. Jenny also shares how this work evolved from an ebook, to workshops, to a one-day program, and now into a flexible online course for leaders everywhere.

If you’re determined not to repeat a year of burnout, resentment, or constant firefighting - and you want to lead with greater purpose, balance, and impact - this episode will give you both reassurance and practical direction.
