The Grass is not Always Greener with Ben Walsh and Donna Casey The Flourish Movement

Now, more than ever, it is critical that we look after the wellbeing and mental health of our school leaders. The Flourish Movement provides a space where leaders can take off their professional armour, sit with their colleagues, be supported and have real conversations to share their experiences and learn from each other.

Dr Adam Fraser is a peak performance researcher with a PhD in Biomedical Science. Along with Principal Bob Willetts, he will be introducing you to some of the amazing school principals that are teaching our kids and leading our schools all over Australia.

In this double guest episode, we hear from Ben Walsh and Dona Casey. Ben leads a school with over 35 classes and 95 staff, while Donna is the Principal of a school with 10 classes and 26 staff.

In The Flourish Movement we have often come across people who think the grass is greener on the other side and that the wellbeing of the school leader can be determined by the size of the school they lead. But is this the case? 

In this episode, Ben and Donna will also share the strategies they use to maintain good wellbeing.
