Mary Myatt, education writer and speaker
Calm Leadership is exactly what the sector needs right now. In his warm, practical voice Patrick Cozier shows that it is possible to have a longstanding, high profile career and remain grounded and positive. In giving advice to his younger self, Patrick provides a road map and commentary on how to find the balance between being robust and kind, between having hard conversations and being compassionate. At its heart, Patrick reminds us that leadership is primarily about people; that we have the capacity to remain focused and optimistic even under pressure and that it’s possible to create a calm, caring environment where all can thrive. Great advice for all leaders in education.
