*The strongest child-safe cultures aren't built through policy alone. They're grown through people, and they start with you.*

Leadership in ECEC is one of the most rewarding, and most complex roles in the sector. Yet many leaders step into the role without a clear pathway, and find themselves navigating culture, team wellbeing, and child safety all at once. So where do you begin?

We're joined by Sandi Phoenix, Founder of Phoenix Support for Educators, for a warm, practical and strengths-focused conversation about what great leadership looks and feels like from the inside out, and how that directly shapes the safety and wellbeing of the children in your care.

Together, Sandi and Hayden will explore:

*   **Leading self** - understanding your own leadership style, strengths, and what fills your Cup so you can show up fully for your team
*   **Leading others** - practical framework for seeing where your service is already thriving and identifying meaningful next steps to bring your vision to life
*   **Embedding culture** - how positive, people-centred cultures take root and sustain over time, and what that means for child safety in practice

**Who this is for:**

*   Service leaders and aspiring leaders who want to lead with intention and grow a culture they're proud of
*   Executives and Operations Managers supporting leadership capability and child safety across their services
