Is your school thriving, or just surviving? We know professional cultures of learning are critical to success. Tracey works with schools, networks and systems to build the types of cultures, relationships and trust that allows deep dialogue and learning to drive transformation.

Her Buzz approach is used in many schools, from Buzz Curriculum Days and longer term Critical Friend Programs designed specifically for the school, to the Buzz Online Academy which provides differentiated approach for in-school professional development . The Buzz Diagnostic provides insight for school leaders and their teams as to where the work lies in building a strong professional learning culture.

At the best of times leadership is messy. It’s about a way of being, not doing. When great leaders are in balance, they are both ferocious about the moral purpose and courageously making a stand, while warmly building strong and enduring relationships. This seeming paradox comes together in what Tracey Ezard calls Ferocious Warmth. Leading within the tension of both epitomises the daily dance of leadership. When you meet a Ferocious Warmth leader, you know it. It is art and science in partnership, a constant flow between the head and the heart and an essential skill for leaders who seek to inspire and transform education.

To find out more about Tracey's leadership approach, her book Ferocious Warmth - School Leaders Who Inspire and Transform is available in the bookshop and available for download on book sites.
