Transformative Leadership Development for you and your team
Expand your capacity, evolve your community, integrate your systems.
Your leadership journey is both personal and professional, it has highs and lows, uncharted waters and exciting prospects. In the education sector, we deal with so much that navigating the next step can often feel reactive or overly directed by the system. No matter what stage you are at, our coaching, facilitation and consultancy provides the map and the tools to navigate it.
Fear often inhibits our true potential and ripples to those around us. But where has this fear come from? How have the many voices inside and out created limiting patterns or beliefs that often feel fixed? Add to this your team’s own challenges and it can begin to feel unsustainable.
Feeling trapped, exhausted, or as though you are wearing a mask can lead to:
Negative spirals of fear, anxiety and burn-out
Self-fulfilling prophecies of “I’m not good at my job”
Lacking a sense of meaning or ambition
Reliance on external ‘fillers’ to seek validation
When you set out with the intention to support others, it is not fair that this is the outcome of your efforts. We regularly work alongside leaders to raise their awareness with the right guidance to shift these limitations and achieve success. You do not need to do this alone.
The depth of our coaching and team journeys helps you make sense of this through a new dimension, find new ways forward from resources you held all along and unleash your potential to transform no matter what stage you are at.
To lead and realise your potential with your team you need the space to re-centre and appreciate yourself, re-discover meaning, recharge your energy, build your capacity and align your mission. The Glass House Leadership Lab was founded by Dr Matt Silver as an accessible and non-judgemental space for leaders to explore and be guided in their ongoing journey.
Through development comes motivation, engagement and true flourishing as the best version of yourself.
Transforming you and integrating others…
