Why you shouldn't feel guilty about using your CPD for leadership coaching

🌱 If You Feel Guilty Investing in Coaching, Here’s Why You Need to Reconsider Many headteachers feel uncomfortable using CPD budget for leadership coaching — as if supporting themselves is somehow selfish. Viv Grant knows that feeling well. She lived it as a headteacher, and she’s spent over 20 years coaching leaders who carry the same guilt. In this video, Viv shares the powerful lessons she learned the hard way: • You are not meant to carry the world on your shoulders • You don’t have to hide your emotions or struggle alone • The culture of “just cope” pushes leaders away from their true selves • Coaching helps you remember who you are — and why you lead Drawing on the wisdom of Parker Palmer, Viv explores how the pressures of headship can deform our sense of self, and how personalised coaching can restore clarity, purpose, and emotional wellbeing. She also shares her own story — including her cancer diagnosis — and how that journey inspired her book Learning to Walk in the Dark and the creation of a new programme for headteachers who want to lead with deeper purpose and psychological strength. If you’ve ever wondered whether investing in yourself is worth it, consider this: When leaders are well, whole, and connected to their purpose, the entire school benefits. Coaching isn’t a luxury. It’s an investment — in you, your staff, and the young people you serve.
