School Leaders Know What to Do. They Just Have Nowhere to Think.
In this #VoC Community Article, Aimee Presnall, founder of Well-Nest, highlights a powerful truth in school leadership: often, it’s not capability that’s missing, but the time and space to think. As leaders step into new roles, they face pressure, self-doubt, and constant decision-making, making reflective practice more important than ever. The article explores how creating intentional space to pause, reflect, and understand how you show up under pressure can lead to stronger decision-making and a more positive school culture, a must-read for leaders navigating the realities of new roles.
