A Call for Adventurous Leadership
Leading an international school is an adventure unlike any other, with added dimensions for female leaders. Women taking on leadership positions can ably fill these roles, shape them to reflect their innate strengths and realities, create new norms around leadership, and cultivate thriving schools.
And a Trusty Guide on the Side

Bridget has developed excellent reflective activities that have helped me identify strengths, areas of improvement, and opportunities that I have yet to explore. I feel much more prepared to be the school leader that I want to be.
