From Burnout to Breakthrough
Leadership burnout is at crisis levels. Across Australia, more than half of leaders report feeling exhausted, used up, or ready to walk away. I know this story personally – and I know it doesn’t have to end there.
From Burnout to Breakthrough: The Leadership Reset is both lived experience and practical roadmap. It introduces the RESET Framework – a four-phase path to Recognise, Reflect, Realign, and Reinvent leadership – designed to help leaders move from exhaustion to sustainable impact.
This isn’t another theory book. Every chapter combines research, neuroscience, and real tools you can use immediately – from boundary-setting scripts and reflection exercises to team resilience strategies and reinvention practices. The message is clear: burnout isn’t a personal failing, it’s a signal for change.
Released by Routledge in December 2025, this book is for leaders who want to reset how they lead – with purpose, clarity, and wellbeing at the centre.
Not One More Teacher Lost
COMING JUNE 2026
We are losing too many good teachers.
Not because they don’t care. Not because they aren’t resilient.
But because the system has become unsustainable.
Not One More Teacher is a clear eyed, evidence based look at why Australia is losing experienced, capable educators - and what we can actually do about it.
Drawing on national data, international research, and real voices from classrooms, I argue that this is not a motivation problem. It is a design problem. Workload, time poverty, loss of professional agency, and escalating expectations are pushing great teachers out of a profession they still believe in.
This book moves beyond diagnosis to action. It sets out practical steps teachers, leaders, systems, and policymakers can take now - alongside longer-term structural reforms to rebuild a profession worth staying in.
Grounded in truth. Focused on solutions. Driven by one line in the sand: Not One More Teacher Lost.
