Listen "From Crisis to Connection"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Lisa Thorpe who shares her candid story of leading a school in crisis early in her career. In that previous role, Lisa found herself guiding a team through challenging times, from low inspection ratings to behavioural issues, requiring a complete reset of the school's approach.We talk about her battle with imposter syndrome and the emotional rollercoaster of building trust from scratch. Lisa opens up about how she turned things around by focusing on what matters most...genuine relationships and being transparent with her team, students and parents.This conversation is full of practical wisdom about authentic leadership and what it really takes to transform a struggling school. Join us to hear how listening, vulnerability and genuine connection can spark real change.
