The wellbeing of staff in schools has never been more important. With almost a third of new staff leaving the profession after just five years and 26% of teachers saying they are thinking of leaving in the next 12 months (National Foundation for Educational Research), we are facing a teacher retention crisis. The We Lead Well Podcast has been created in response to this crisis, to encourage and support schools to create places where people love to work. We support leaders to enhance the wellbeing of all staff in schools. Each week, leading educationalists share their experience, views and tips on how other school leaders can promote wellbeing in their organisations for the benefit of all staff.

In this insightful episode of the 'We Lead Well' podcast, I talked with Yasmin Arif, a former teacher and school leader turned coach, recounting her journey from burnout to empowering school leaders.
The episode takes a deep dive into the challenges faced by school leaders and how effective coaching can be instrumental in overcoming them. It underscores the need for transitioning from mere instructive approaches towards empowering a thinking environment within schools focusing on the work of author Nancy Klein in promoting effective thinking environments in schools.
As the episode progresses, it lays emphasis on the pivotal role of senior leadership in establishing a coaching culture within schools. It highlights how coaching can boost staff retention rates and foster autonomy, all while battling the pervasive issue of learned helplessness in high-stakes academic settings. Importantly, the episode also navigates the potential of coaching in facilitating difficult conversations, conflict management, and personal accountability.
The episode concludes with the exploration of effective, cost-friendly coaching solutions, including apprenticeships. It dismisses some of the stigmas about apprenticeships, painting them as practical, academically rigorous approaches to training. This conversation will support leaders seeking to improve their culture, staff wellbeing, and overall satisfaction in their schools.
