So...a new chapter is about to begin. I will be leaving my school at Easter to take on a Headship in Dubai. Looking forward to and relishing the challenge ahead(and a tad daunted too!).This is how I broke the news to the pupils-an assembly entitled ‘Mr P and The Wind of Change’💨

So, I’m 43 today 😎. Some reflections (A Thread):
- If we don’t meet people where they are, it’s hard to walk the same road
- Self doubt likes to creep- in and out. Let it creep and look away (ahead)
- Health really is wealth
- Leadership in Education is a trust that is Given

Ramadan is a time for Muslims to reconnect with their holy book- the Qur’an. Had a rare visit today from a Hoopoe. The Hoopoe is one of the animals mentioned in the Qur’an that conversed with the Prophet Solomon.

As a leader, if you see colleagues as human beings and not machines, as people and not parts, you will facilitate a culture laser focussed on wellness and heart-investment. 💫

A key aspect of leadership is the ability to gauge the cognitive load of others and knowing that what takes seconds to come out of your mouth could mean hours of work for someone else.

Morning reflection:
“Whoever among you wakes up secure in his property, healthy in his body, and he has his food for the day, it is as if he were given the entire world.”

- Working on one’s heart in the best work one can do
- Exhaustion is not a badge of honour
- The best definition of integrity I’ve come across: ‘Integrity is doing what is right instead of what is convenient.’
- Courage is the gateway to all other virtues
- Don’t take the bait

I was getting worked up about not reading as fast as I want to but then heard someone say: ‘You wouldn’t rush a conversation with someone- that would be rude. You would, rather, take time to reflect, appreciate, respond, pause…think of reading as a conversation. ✨

Don’t be shackled by those who talk the talk but never walk the walk. You are not the product of the opinions of others- negative shape shifting is not for you. You are you and you are defined by what you do. Trust in yourself. Believe in yourself. Journey on. 💫

He’s right. And, of course, we must reflect on why we are irritated by things. The poet Rumi said: ‘If you are irritated by every rub, how will you ever be polished?’💫
