  • Why she didn’t believe she could do a doctorate but took it on anyway
  • How, over the course of three years, she gradually implemented and embedded a coaching culture
  • The difficulties she and her team faced and how she overcame them
  • What you need to get in place to make building trust surprisingly easy
  • Why looking to hospitals could help solve teacher retention
  • What we need to do that will help teachers exceed all performance goals
  • The problem they face when implementing a zero-tolerance behaviour policy and what they did to make it disappear
  • How good behaviour for learning helps them to balance the books
  • The one question she could ask every headteacher if she could
  • Why she is optimistic about the future of education
