Why School Leaders Must Rethink Mentorship and Self-Care With Nadine Powrie

In this episode, Nadine Powrie shares her journey from a French assistant to a leader in some of the UK's most challenging schools. Drawing on experiences from New Zealand and Australia, she discusses how research, collaboration, and continuous learning have shaped her approach to education and school inspections.

Mentorship played a crucial role in Nadine's development, especially her relationship with Derek Wise, OBE, which encouraged bold decision-making and effective communication. Now a thinking partner herself, Nadine shares practical strategies for maintaining integrity, handling difficult conversations, and balancing well-being while leading today's educational landscape.
