Does any of this feel familiar?

  • You wake at three in the morning running through things you cannot change until the morning anyway.

     

  • You went back in September just as exhausted as you left in last July.

     

  • You do not know who you are outside this role anymore. The title and the identity have fused.

     

  • Your partner, your children, your friendships: they are getting whatever is left of you after school has taken everything else.

     

  • Something is pulling at you about what comes next. Retirement. A different role. A different life. You have not had the space to think it through properly.

     

  • You are brilliant at your job and privately questioning whether it has cost you too much.

     

  • You are the person everyone comes to. You wonder who you can go to.

What this webinar will do

This is not a CPD session. It is not a wellbeing checklist. It is sixty minutes in which the questions are entirely about you: your life, your next chapter, and the things you have been carrying silently for longer than you will admit.

Hosted by Shirleyann Jones, qualified life coach, leadership strategist, author and former headteacher, with headships in London and Dubai, this session will:

Name what you have not been able to say
The things that are true but feel disloyal to admit. In a safe, confidential space.


Reveal the blind spot that is already costing you
The one thing most women in headship get wrong about the next chapter of their lives.


Show you what becomes possible
Not what the school needs. What you want. On your terms, in your timeline.


Create urgency without panic
The window is real. The plan is possible. And it starts now, not when you retire.

Meet Your Host

 

Shirleyann Jones, NPQH | FCCT | Life Coach | Leadership Strategist | Author | Former Headteacher

With over thirty years in education, including headships in London and Dubai, Shirleyann Jones brings to her coaching practice something no qualification can teach: the lived experience of having held the role herself.

 

As the founder of SJ Educoach and the creator of Beyond The Gates, her work sits at the intersection of personal transformation and professional leadership. Beyond The Gates is a private coaching programme built specifically for female headteachers and education leaders who are ready to put themselves back at the centre of their own lives.

 

A published author, qualified life coach and accredited leadership coach, Shirleyann has sat where you are sitting. She knows the weight of this role from the inside, and she knows what it means to finally have a thinking partner whose only agenda is yours.

This session is for you if...

  • You are a female head of school, headteacher, executive headteacher or MAT leader.

  • You are within sight of a significant transition: a new role, a step back, or retirement.

  • You are brilliant at leading your school and privately unsure about what comes next for you as a person.

  • You are exhausted in a way that the holidays no longer fix.

  • You want to feel excited about something again. Not just capable. Not just competent. Alive.

  • This session is not for those who have never been in headship or senior school leadership. It is built for the woman who has been in it long enough to feel what it costs.
