Leadership That Doesn't Make People Hide in the Cupboard

In this easy-listening, laugh-while-you-learn episode, Jess - mum of three young kids (including twins) and long-time ECE teacher and leader - lifts the lid on what leadership really feels like.

She explores why some leaders accidentally send staff into fight-or-flight mode, and how emotionally steady, human-centred leadership can completely change the vibe of a centre. With humour, honesty, and real-life stories, Jess shows how tiny everyday actions create teams who feel safe, supported, and genuinely happy to see their leader walk through the door.

A must-listen for anyone leading in ECE… or anyone who’s ever considered hiding in the cupboard at work.
