In this episode of Beat Teacher Burnout, I sit down with Nick Osborne, CEO of Maritime Academy Trust and someone whose honest and humorous take on school leadership has inspired me from afar.
We dive deep into how we can build healthy school teams, support new leaders, and make space for sustainable leadership without running ourselves into the ground. Nick shares how he went from leading one school to turning around multiple, and the tough lessons he learned about overwhelm, boundaries, and letting go of perfection.
In this episode, I talk with Nick about:
His personal story of school leadership and growth
How we can support new headteachers in high-pressure environments
The importance of time out of school for perspective and clarity
Simple strategies to manage workload and prevent burnout
The "three zones" model to assess and adjust school demands
Why having friends outside education helps your well-being
