Brad Gaynor

 I am an Author, Education Leader, Leadership and Executive Coach specialising in leadership development, wellbeing and system change.

Currently an Assistant Director supporting school improvement and leadership development, I work closely with principals navigating the complexity, cognitive load and emotional demands of modern education.

With more than three decades of experience in education and leadership, I know firsthand the pressures that can push committed leaders towards burnout. That lived experience - and the work of rebuilding from it - now shapes my writing, thinking and professional work.

My approach blends formal training in positive psychology and the neuroscience of leadership with practical, evidence-informed frameworks that support leaders to think clearly, make sound decisions under pressure and sustain their wellbeing over time.

I am the author of From Burnout to Breakthrough: The Leadership Reset, and my second book, Not One More Teacher Lost, will be released in 2026.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: healthy leaders create healthy schools - and when leaders are supported to thrive, students benefit too.
