What resonated strongly was Ben’s ability to connect research, neuroscience and leadership theory with the lived experience of teachers and school leaders.His leadership masterclass challenged us to think deeply about our influence, our responses to behaviour and the role leaders play in shaping cultures where both students and staff can thrive.Authentic, practical and refreshingly honest. Exactly the kind of professional learning that makes a difference.

Ben's message was engaging, realistic and grounded in the everyday realities of schools. He reminded us that belonging doesn’t come from slogans or programs alone but from intentionally creating the conditions for psychological, physiological and environmental safety in classrooms. This is where students feel understood, supported and safe enough to learn, take risks and grow.
