Room to Lead™
Practical leadership training for early childhood team leaders who want more confidence, clarity and impact.
Most room leaders don’t struggle because they don’t care.
They struggle because they’ve been given responsibility for a team… without ever being properly taught how to lead people.
Suddenly you’re expected to motivate educators, manage different personalities, give feedback, solve problems, lead change, maintain quality practice and keep everyone moving in the same direction — while still working directly with children.
Room to Lead™ was created to change that.
This six-part online leadership program helps emerging and experienced early childhood leaders move from feeling reactive, unsure and constantly putting out fires to becoming more intentional, confident and capable leaders.
Led by Michelle Walsh, Founder of Hourglass Time Education, Room to Lead™ brings together more than 20 years of early childhood leadership, management, training and consultancy experience.
You’ll learn how to:
Understand your leadership style and impact
Build confidence in your role
Motivate your team around shared goals
Strengthen relationships, trust and culture
Stop answering every question and build team ownership
Adapt your leadership to different people and situations
Lead with intention rather than constantly reacting
Empower others through shared leadership
Navigate change, challenge and new ideas
Build practical habits that make leadership easier
Throughout the program, Michelle introduces practical tools and concepts including Above and Below the Line, leadership styles, personality frameworks, gratitude, the Five Love Languages at work, the Firefighter concept, Fully Baked Lasagnas and more.
This isn’t a course to binge and forget.
Room to Lead™ is intentionally drip-fed with approximately four weeks between sessions so you have time to reflect, practise, implement and see what changes in your leadership and your team.
You’ll also receive a Room to Lead™ Workbook to use throughout the program as your personal reflection and action tool.
Perfect for Room Leaders, Team Leaders, Educational Leaders, Assistant Directors, Emerging Leaders and educators preparing for leadership.
If you’re ready to stop figuring leadership out as you go and start becoming the kind of leader people genuinely want to follow, Room to Lead™ will give you the tools to get there.
Because great educators deserve to be taught how to become great leaders too.
