Listen in as Sarah Louise discusses her work at Melbourne Polytechnic, her consultancy’s mission to support educators, and the lessons she has learned about authentic leadership. From childhood crochet skills to transformative coaching moments, Sarah Louise reminds us of the power of connection, kindness, and slowing down to focus on what truly matters in education.

The Early Years Matter: Early childhood experiences shape not only academic success but also the future well-being and identity of individuals. Leadership is Diverse: Leadership comes in many forms and isn’t confined to those at the top. Embracing authenticity and individual strengths is key.
