Nature-Led Leadership: Building Trust in Education

What does it mean to lead when you don’t know where you’re going? Now, more than ever, the future feels very uncertain – foggy even, and the role of leadership needs to transform to meet the fog. Too often, traditional leadership roles are modelled around a hierarchy based on outcome and – to a large degree – certainty. So what happens when we return to the roots of the meaning of the word ‘leadership’ and look to nature for guidance on how to be resilient and resourced for the future? 

In this week's episode, we reflect on the invisible work, relational depth and regenerative rhythms of leadership that often go unrecognised in a world hooked on outcomes. We dive into what a nature-led leadership looks like, learning from the deep wisdom and experience of the wider natural world. We explore leadership as a journey of care rather than control, shaped not by hierarchy, but by trust, relationality and the courage to journey upstream towards a healthier future for people and planet.

We reference the following during the conversation:
