Practical leadership resources and insights for Australian school leaders | Fortnightly in your inbox.
School leadership is a high-stakes “way of being” that is constantly stretched by changing contexts and increasing demands. Between the weight of accountability and the daily “noise” of the unexpected emergencies, it is easy for leaders to lose their grip on the wheel feeling more reactive than proactive.
The Leadership Drawing Board exists for leaders who want something more useful than motivation!
Each issue brings a practical perspective on the real challenges of educational leadership, grounded in what the evidence says and what actually works in Australian school contexts.
You will not find generic advice here! Or content written for a global leadership audience that happens to mention schools occasionally. This is written specifically for the Australian education sector, by someone who has spent more than 20 years inside it at every level.
What You Will Find Here
Free subscribers receive a fortnightly issue exploring a leadership challenge, habit, or perspective with immediate practical application. The kind of thinking that is useful on a Tuesday morning before a difficult conversation, or on a Sunday night when you are planning the week ahead.
Paid subscribers receive deeper leadership development monthly. Practical tools and frameworks with guided reflection, resources for going further, and the kind of structured thinking that usually only happens inside a coaching engagement.

About Shaun
I have spent more than 20 years in Australian education across the classroom, school leadership, and a system-level role supporting leaders directly across a network of schools. Since 2023 I have been a Growth Coaching International accredited coach, holding the EMCC EQA Practitioner Level credential.
I work with school leaders and the organisations that support them through tailored, evidence-informed coaching. The Leadership Drawing Board is the place where that thinking becomes accessible to a broader audience.
