3 Reset Rituals for the Autumn Term
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As we start the Autumn term I want to share practical strategies to help school leaders start the academic year with energy instead of exhaustion. September often brings fresh starts but also frantic paces that can quickly lead to survival mode and burnout. Let's explore how to reset your leadership rhythm with simple, powerful tools that protect your wellbeing and amplify your impact.
You will learn:
- Why the “autumn trap” can drain leaders before Christmas—and how to avoid it.
- A simple NLP anchoring technique to create calm in moments of stress.
- Three reset rituals every leader can use
- How small daily practices can stop busy turning into burnout.
