What if leadership in education wasn’t only about strategy, outcomes and accountability but also
about attentional balance and presence? This programme by Oxford Mindfulness invites leaders to strengthen the “inner foundations” of
leadership, so decisions, conversations and actions arise from clarity, steadiness and compassion.
When leaders listen deeply, respond thoughtfully and act authentically, they cultivate cultures built
on trust, resilience and genuine connection.
AI and the Future of Well-being: Psychology is at a crossroads. One path leads to fear and paralysis. The other asks how AI might help many more people flourish. How can we collaborate with it to bring the tools of Positive Psychology such as optimism, meaning, resilience, and character strengths to billiions of people? If we believe flourishing should sit at the centre of human progress, then we must help AI to grow in that direction.
Senior leaders in education today face a wide range of challenges including technological change, increased accountability, and shifting societal expectations. These demands can weigh heavily on those who are deeply committed to leading with care and integrity.
School leaders and key personnel are uniquely positioned to help their teams navigate the shifts and changes these challenges demand. Their presence, behaviours and values influence not only outcomes but also the emotional and relational tone of entire communities.
