#RecommendedReading 📚 Currently rereading The Promise That Changes Everything: I Won’t Interrupt You by Nancy Kline. The book explores a deceptively simple idea: what changes when we truly stop interrupting and give someone our full attention?

A middle school leader recently described their school culture as feeling like The Hunger Games. When fear replaces trust, people stop contributing. Healthy schools are built on psychological safety, dialogue, and shared leadership—not compliance. #PsychologicalSafety

Education is at a pivotal moment. As #TESPlus4 begins, the focus is rightly on transforming education systems for resilience, equity & inclusion ahead of the 2030 #SDG4 deadline. The question isn’t just how to improve schools—but how to redesign education for the future. #InclusiveEducation

As the academic year ends for many, a reminder to every teacher and leader: your presence matters. Beyond outcomes and data, you help build belonging, confidence, and agency. The conversations you create and the spaces you hold can help young people truly flourish!

#RecommendedReading The Power of Neurodiversity by Thomas Armstrong challenges deficit-based views of neurodivergence and invites us to recognise the strengths, talents, and unique ways of thinking that neurodivergent people bring to the world. #Neurodiversity #NeuroInclusion

Delighted to see A Teacher’s Guide to Coaching featured by Growth Coaching International. Coaching helps build reflection, agency, stronger relationships, and positive school cultures. 📖 Review: online.flippingbook.com/view/1355378... #CoachingInEducation #TeacherAgency #Leadership

#RecommendedReading Plate & Peacock’s chapter on teachers as learners reminds us that inclusive schools are built through continuous learning, reflection, participation, and collaboration—not isolated CPD. When teachers learn, schools grow.

One of the biggest shifts in leadership is learning to listen to understand, not just to respond. In schools, meaningful conversations happen when people feel genuinely heard. Listening with intention means being present, curious, and creating space for others to share openly.

#RecommendedReading Neuroinclusion: A Guide for Managers and Leaders by Liv Blaney & Sam Barbour Pringle is a practical, strengths-based guide to building neuroinclusive workplace cultures. Neuroinclusion benefits everyone. An important read for leaders, educators & coaches.

The Working with and Coaching Neurodivergent Clients course was designed to bridge research, lived experience, and practical coaching approaches — creating space for reflection, discussion, and meaningful skill development. www.jasminemillercoaching.com/news/coachin... #Neurodiversity #Coaching

CALL Scotland’s Wheel of Apps highlights iPad apps supporting learners with complex additional support needs. A useful resource for communication, accessibility & personalised learning across primary and secondary settings.

#RecommendedReading The Inner Level by Richard Wilkinson & Kate Pickett explores how inequality impacts stress, wellbeing, trust & mental health. A powerful read on equity, belonging & human flourishing. Highly relevant for educators & leaders.

The leaders who make the most meaningful decisions are usually the ones who understand their own blind spots. Coaching helps surface those blind spots by creating space for honest reflection. What's one area where gaining more awareness has made a real difference in how you lead or work?

#RecommendedReading World-Centred Education by Gert Biesta explores education as our relationship with the world — not just curriculum or individual outcomes. Strongly connected to agency, responsibility & participation. Highly relevant for educators, leaders & coaches.

Want to understand a system? Look at its transitions. This is where gaps often show. For learners, transitions can feel fragmented — or supported. What makes the difference? #Transitions #Education

What would change if we listened more — and fixed less? Listening creates space for thinking, reflection & agency. Where might deeper listening make a difference? #Coaching #Education

What do we mean by “flourishing” in education? Not just outcomes — but belonging, dignity & agency. Shaped by context, not just individuals. What does flourishing look like in your setting? #Education #Inclusion

#RecommendedReading The Body Keeps the Score explores how trauma is held in the body and shapes how we respond and relate. Highly relevant for educators, leaders & coaches focusing on wellbeing and relational practice.

Delighted to share my proposal has been accepted for #ICFConverge 2026 🎉. I will be presenting- “Teaching Coaches for Ecological Agency in Inclusive Systems” Looking forward to contributing to conversations on coaching, inclusion & agency.

Revisiting #CoachingAcrossBorders 🌍 Across contexts, what stands out: relationships, listening, culture, belonging. Coaching is about learning with curiosity. Next stops: 🇪🇸 Spain (July) 🇯🇵 Japan (August) Would love to connect with educators there.

Sometimes inclusion isn’t about adding more support — it’s about clarity. Clear expectations, communication, and processes reduce cognitive load and uncertainty. Where could greater clarity create more inclusion in your context? #Neurodiversity

Agency doesn’t emerge in isolation. It grows where there is trust, clarity, connection, and opportunity to contribute. Without these, even capable people can feel constrained. What in your environment enables — or limits — agency? #Leadership #Agency
