Schools are inherently complex places. Recent challenges have intensified this complexity, leaving leaders without a clear roadmap. How can we build resilience and navigate continual change?

In this one-hour webinar, Dr Ryan Dunn explores practical strategies for leading schools through uncertainty. He examines how school leaders can:

• Build cohesive, empowered teams ready to embrace change and innovation

• Harness collective expertise by establishing shared ways of working that create sustained impact

• Develop an adaptive mindset that embraces ambiguity as a feature of modern school leadership
