Educational Leadership in ECEC

In this episode, we sit down with pedagogical leader Kelly Goodsir to explore the transformative power of intentional inquiry and deep listening in early learning. With over 20 years of experience, Kelly discusses how to reimagine educational leadership, moving away from "habitual" responses toward a relational, purposeful practice. She shares strategies for navigating team tensions and holding space for generative dialogue, ensuring that every decision honours the voices of both children and educators.Drawing on concepts like Adam Grant’s 'rethinking cycle', Kelly offers practical advice on building a culture of curiosity. She emphasizes the importance of being "awake" to the present moment to ensure leadership remains grounded in meaning rather than just compliance. This conversation is an inspiring call to action for leaders to lead from the inside out, transforming everyday moments into profound learning opportunities.Find out more:www.kglearning.com.auhttps://www.facebook.com/kellygoodsirconsultancyhttps://www.instagram.com/kglearningece/ If you enjoyed this episode, consider leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform.Have questions or feedback?
