Free Guide for Aspiring and Emerging School Leaders

Do you ever hear that little voice saying…

👉 “I’m not brave enough.”
👉 “I don’t have enough experience.”
👉 “Leadership is for extroverts, not people like me.”

You are not alone!

These myths stop too many brilliant women in education from stepping into leadership roles they are more than ready for.

The Truth?

Leadership is not about gender, confidence, or personality type.

Great leaders come in all shapes, styles, and voices.

What really matters is showing up authentically, learning as you go, and leading with courage.

In this free guide, I’ll share the 7 biggest leadership myths that hold women back - and what the research (and lived experience) tells us instead.

You don’t need to change who you are. You are already enough 

"I have spent a long time doubting myself as a leader. Your workshops helped me see I do have strengths and it’s ok that my way of being and leadership doesn’t need to be the same as someone else’s to be ok. There aren’t enough words to say how much I appreciate that belief. You are making such a difference in so many lives, thank you for all you do."

Hi, I'm Jenny Cole!

I am a mess of glorious imperfections stitched together with good intentions. An accredited executive coach, facilitator, educator and mum to Charlie the Cavoodle. I am a recovering school Principal so I know first hand what it feels like to be frazzled, overwhelmed and leading in a way that felt hard!

I don't want you to make the same mistakes as me - trust me they were brutal. So I share my wisdom through coaching, leadership development and professional learning for women.

I believe that the world is always ready for a little more joy.

I support sassy, smart leaders, aspirants and teachers, guiding them to:

  • develop the confidence to lead with in a way that feels authentic to them by busting a few myths about leadership,

  • design and create the career they deserve, or

  • simply (re)discovering who they are at their best - who they were before they got buried in the busy-ness.

...and do all that in a way that does not come at the expense of your wellbeing.

Positively yours,
Jenny x
