In this episode, I'm pleased to welcome Hayley Taylor, Principal of Canning Vale Primary School, who shares her candid insights on the evolving complexities of school leadership and the reality of building positive culture in educational communities.Hayley opens up about the expanding scope of what schools are expected to deliver beyond traditional education, and how demographic shifts add layers of complexity to creating environments where both staff and students can thrive. She doesn't shy away from discussing the isolation that comes with leadership roles and the challenge of hearing criticism more often than praise.Join us for an honest conversation as Hayley reveals the emotional rollercoaster of leading change - from the initial passion and purpose that drives vision-building, through the frustration of different implementation paces, to the fatigue that comes with sustaining momentum. She shares practical strategies that have served her well, including the importance of self-awareness, the art of reading staff dynamics, and keeping students at the center of every decision. Most importantly, Hayley emphasizes that while education is vital work, it's still just a job - and protecting your wellbeing outside of school is non-negotiable for sustainable leadership.Connect with Well-Nest:Click HERE to book a leadership + wellbeing coaching discovery call with AimeeLinkedIn: Aimee PresnallWebsite: www.well-nest.com.auInstagram: well_nest_collective_coOther Podcast: Wonders of Wellbeing
