I believe beautiful things can happen when you create space between yourself and negativity. Stepping away from toxic influences allows your mind to breathe and your heart to feel lighter. Not everything deserves a place in your life, especially when it costs you your peace.

A new blog post inspired by some recent shares by @HelenBevan and aspects of school and trust leadership that I have been thinking about. You don't need to convince everyone when leading change. researcherteacher.home.blog/…

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! 💫 do you have policies that move things out of the way for women? 💫 do you pay attention to the talk ratio of men and women in meetings? 💫is it easy to be a parent (women are usually the default primary parent)? 💫 do women talk last often?
