E15: Navigating Conversations for Career Growth and Promotion

The Growth in Educational Leadership Podcast

In episode 15 of the Growth in Educational Leadership podcast, I discuss effective strategies for navigating career growth conversations to achieve promotions.
Be Proactive: The episode outlines the importance of proactive career planning and introduces the Confident Career Leader Programme, reopening in November to help individuals set career goals.
The podcast highlights the value of self-awareness and utilising tools like the STAR technique in job applications, as well as fostering professional relationships through networking and mentorship.
Strategic Thinking: I emphasise aligning your personal goals with the objectives of the school, seeking feedback for continuous improvement, and developing a leadership mindset.
I also touch on the importance of maintaining boundaries for personal career focus and invites listeners to engage in career development activities, like attending the upcoming IPPN education expo.
Challenge: I invite you to engage in four professional conversations over the year to enhance your career potential and leadership capacity.
