Lisa was recently interviewed by Natalie Hood from Twinkl as part of a wider conversation exploring the importance of high-quality supervision for school leaders and the role it plays in supporting future-focused educational practice.

The discussion focused on the increasing pressures faced by school leaders and the need for spaces that support reflection, thinking and emotional regulation. Lisa shared insights into how supervision can help leaders remain connected to their values, make thoughtful decisions and sustain themselves in demanding roles.

The conversation highlighted how supervision goes beyond problem-solving, providing leaders with time and space to slow down, reflect on their experiences and reconnect with what matters most in their work. Lisa spoke about the importance of creating psychologically safe environments where leaders can think openly, explore uncertainty and strengthen their professional practice.

Natalie and Lisa also explored how schools and settings can stay at the forefront of best practice by embedding supervision as a core part of leadership development and wellbeing. The interview emphasised that supporting those in leadership roles ultimately has a positive impact across whole school communities, benefiting staff teams and children alike.

This interview offers valuable insight for school leaders, educators and those supporting leadership in education who are interested in reflective practice, wellbeing-informed approaches and sustainable leadership.
