Spent the morning at the new Werribee Campus of Hester Hornbrook Academy, deep diving into the professional culture & leadership that helps them thrive. Their HOPE model is a game changer for young people. Thanks Sally Lasslett & team, always a joy! #thebuzz

Heard it on a call: a leader, hurt and judged for mistakes they'd owned and apologised for. Years of service, now isolated. How do we show up for leaders who stumble from stress, not malice? With compassion, not judgement. Support, not shame. #ferociouswarmth #support

Have you booked in for the live session with Tracey this week?

Loved diving into impactful leadership with Alistair Brown, ex-principal of Adelaide Botanic HS. From challenging norms to applying industry thinking in schools — so many gems! Big thanks to Anne Knock PhD for the intro. #ferociouswarmth #thebuzz

Last Friday, before we kicked off at the MCG - waiting for the siren to go. The Toddle IB School Leaders Meetup is humming already. Melissa O’Shea and I all geared up to kick it off! 🏉 #ferociouswarmth #toddle

Honoured to work with the inspiring STRETTON STATE COLLEGE leadership team—deep learning, trust, and connection in action. Grateful to Jan Maresca for the opportunity to reflect, grow, and lead with ferocious warmth. #ferociouswarmth #educationleadership

Last week at Truganina P-9's new Professional Learning Centre with the amazing PCO team—what a space! Thoughtfully designed to value learning and people. Deep dialogue, shared growth, and an incredible view! #leadership #ferociouswarmth #culture

Last week, I had an inspiring afternoon of reflection, strength & stretch convos with the Woodcroft College leadership team. They truly get that connection fuels growth, where high challenge + high support = deep leadership. #ferociouswarmth

The SAPPA Conference last week commenced with a focus on leadership that begins with self. Using the Ferocious Warmth lens—head & heart, optimal & fragile zones—we explored the role of self-awareness in complex environments. Insightful dialogue and reflection. #ferociouswarmth

Are the right people listening? I wish Ministers, Dept Secretaries & senior leaders were in the room hearing from voices like Amanda McKay & Dr Adam Fraser. The data is clear: principals face immense stress—yet they show up daily to shape lives. It’s time for real change.

Your leadership makes a difference. Be mindful of what you are modelling to others and keep going! You are your cultural advantage. Read it here: 👇 traceyez.substack.com/p/the-cultural…

Caught up yesterday in Belfast with Richard Reid to plan new ways to support leaders and educators in Northern Ireland into 2026. Exciting experiences ahead in leadership, culture & coaching. Loved Richard’s insights on attention—pure gold. Watch this space! #ferociouswarmth

Secondary schools – highly recommend Alana Kilmartin’s Unserious Careers talk. It’s been meeting and exceeding the high bar set by students around the country. I’d be jumping onto any of these dates if I was you. Apply here: lnkd.in/gcXPqU8d

The concept of Ferocious Warmth cultures is simple — we need to balance both the emotional and strategic approaches, the results and the relationships. Read it here: 👇 traceyez.substack.com/p/the-head-and…

"I do have a belief, we should never go to the more results-driven stuff without relationships being core; because we know that trust and psychological safety are critical to results getting done." – Tracey Ezard 📷 Tune in here: kite.link/ferocious-warm…
