S04 - E09 Series 4 retrospective with Emma Hughes and Iain Blatherwick

What makes truly exceptional educational leaders? In this final episode of Series 4 of #EdInfluence, host Nick MacKenzie is joined by colleagues and fellow executive coaches Emma Hughes and Ian Blatherwick. Together they reflect on the leadership insights, learnings and their favourite highlights from the conversations with inspiring leaders published this year. The trio explore the transformative power of being influenced rather than always influencing others, captured beautifully in the phrase "cherish the people who change your mind." They discuss how this openness to having thier perspective shifted stands in stark contrast to traditional leadership models that emphasise unwavering certainty. Through stories shared by guests like Caroline, Hugh, and Sarah, they examine how diversity of thought becomes the bedrock of effective leadership. Whether you're an aspiring or experienced leader, this reflective conversation offers rich insights that challenge conventional thinking and inspire a more human, connected approach to leadership.  Let us know what you think of this episode - drop us a message and connect via LinkedIn.
