No matter how competent a person is, they will not have sustained or lasting success unless they are able to effectively lead themselves, influence, engage and collaborate well with others, and continually improve and renew their own capabilities. These elements are at the heart of an individual’s personal effectiveness, as well as that of teams, from Principals through to teachers and school staff, as well as whole school effectiveness and culture

1. INDIVIDUAL

One of the most compelling books ever written, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, has empowered and inspired readers for over 30 years It’s also played a part in the transformation of millions of lives across all age groups and professions.
No matter how competent a person is “in a world of change, disruption, chaos and relentless uncertainty, people are craving an anchor point, a set of constructs that will give them guidance in the face of turbulance” - Jim Collins wrote this statement in reference to the 7 Habits 10 years ago, although it could have been written at any point in time since
Personal and interpersonal behaviours of effectiveness, are perhaps needed even more today, than ever before, especially for educators when such a huge part of their role is guiding and supporting our youngest generation
Research shows that teacher’s are feeling more overwhelmed and burnt out than ever before. By embracing the 7 Habits, they are rediscovering their purpose, and learning how to prioritise their own wellbeing, so that they can be more effective in guiding our next generation.

Strong school culture starts at the top, and those leaders influence the rest of the school. Principals that engage with, or offer coaching support to their executive staff, understand the importance of investing in high-potential for an overall influential and impactful school environment
Make sure leaders sustain or transition into their roles successfully with coaching.”
Franklin Covey
Though often underestimated and underutilised, coaching is the key to effective school improvement, including implementing SEL. FranklinCovey Coaching provides three types of coaching services to K-12 schools Implementation of education solution Leader in Me, Executive, and/or Leadership Transition.
As schools become the front lines of addressing challenges that extend far beyond academics, they are increasingly turning to social-emotional learning (SEL) for research-based solutions. Unfortunately, many regions and schools struggle to implement SEL in a way that meets their greatest needs
The 7 Habits one-on-one coaching will equip Principals with the tools to lead with awareness of self and of others, for a truly impactful experience.
Based on The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Leader in Me is an evidence-based PK–12 model, developed in partnership with educators, designed to build resilience and leadership in students, create a high-trust culture, and help improve academic achievement. This model equips students, educators and families with the leadership and life skills needed to thrive, adapt, and contribute in a dynamic world.
Leadership is not just learned in a classroom. Research supports that students learn critical life skills through seeing leadership modeled, having opportunities to lead their own projects, and being part of a school culture that affirms the potential of everyone to lead. This comprehensive approach equips every staff member in your school and a student leadership team to create a culture of leadership.
Leader in Me is implemented through a series of staff professional development sessions, annual ongoing coaching, and a simple to use online platform with a curriculum designed to make it easy for teachers to use and implement
Implementation Options:
• Live Onsite
• Live Online
• On Demand (self-paced online trainings)

During the NSWPPA Primary Principal’s Conference in October, FranklinCovey Education undertook a survey to gain the perception of NSW Educators (and in particular Principals), into some of the areas they have found challenging during the 2024 school year, compared to the 2023 school year
While I am sure the results won’t surprise you, the areas that Principals indicated were their greatest challenge were:
Teacher well-being - with 24% of the vote
Student’s disruptive behaviour - with 22% of the vote
Teacher burnout - with 16% of the vote
With Teacher burnout and well-being both being rated as more than 50% worse in 2023, than in 2024
Other options provided within the survey made up the remainder being students’ engagement in their learning, students’ respect for others, and then teacher leadership opportunities, rating the lowest - with only 5% of Principals indicating this was a challenge.
When asked how confident Principals were on being able to make significant improvements to their greatest challenge in 2025, an overwhelming 63% indicated they were somewhat confident, although anecdotally, feedback was that this was based on hope
Other anecdotal feedback shared aligned very closely with our global research in this area, and that was surrounding the changes in societal and generational expectations and perceptions With more families and caregivers suffering from greater anxiety, stress and burnout, the impact of this is often felt by teachers who are navigating the resulting heightened emotions, within their daily interactions with families and caregivers
