Leadership isn’t about a badge or a title—it’s about influence. By building your own leadership identity, you’re better equipped to guide students in discovering theirs. This page brings together articles, videos, and webinars to support that journey—and to connect you to our online courses when you’re ready to go deeper.
Here you’ll find written articles that unpack the latest thinking on leadership in schools—how it evolves, how it shows up in classrooms, and how you can strengthen your own leadership to support students, colleagues, and parents.
Published a few times each year, these articles draw on my doctoral research and ongoing work with schools. They’re designed to offer practical takeaways and inspiration to grow your leadership identity—and help your students build theirs.

Leadership is often examined through the lens of strategy, performance and decision-making. Yet many of the qualities we admire most in exceptional leaders begin developing long before they enter the workplace.
In this article, I explore how adversity, when processed with reflection and purpose, can become a powerful teacher. Drawing on research and real-life stories, I consider why resilience, adaptability and sound judgement are so often rooted in experiences that precede formal leadership roles.
Rather than viewing adversity simply as something to overcome, perhaps we should also recognise its potential to shape the people who go on to lead with wisdom, perspective and humanity.
One of the greatest privileges of my work has been learning alongside teachers. Through years of working with educators, students and business leaders, I have become convinced that leadership development begins long before someone steps into a formal leadership role. In this article, I explore why the qualities we often call “soft skills” are, in reality, among the most important capabilities that education helps young people develop.
As published in African Business Quarterly, this article explores why people can experience the same organisation, leader, or workplace culture in very different ways. Drawing on observations from leadership development, education, and organisational practice, Sandy examines how interpretation shapes experience and why effective leadership requires more than clear communication. The article highlights the importance of curiosity, self-awareness, and understanding the different lenses through which people make sense of the same reality for business leaders.
Schools prepare young people academically, but who helps them prepare for the realities of adulthood? Sandy Geyer explores the often-overlooked space between education and the world beyond it, and why leadership development should begin long before a title or position arrives.
Our original Leadership Lab series tackles the fundamental questions about leadership in schools. Each short video is quick to watch, easy to share, and links back here for related articles, webinars, and courses.
These conversations set the foundation for the EnQPractice approach to leadership, giving teachers a fresh perspective on preparing students for life beyond the classroom.
