Dr Polly McGee NTPA Workshops September 2025
Regulate to Lead: Rest, Resilience & Recovery
for NT School Leaders
With Dr Polly McGee | Sept 15 (Darwin) & Sept 16 (Online)
We’re thrilled to announce the return of Dr Polly McGee to the Territory – back by popular demand with a brand-new course "Regulate to Lead", created specifically for Northern Territory educational leaders.
This isn't just another workshop – it's a transformative professional learning experience that addresses one of the most critical challenges facing school leaders today: leading effectively while managing trauma, stress, and burnout in our educational environments.
What You'll Gain from This Essential Workshop:
- Understand how trauma and chronic stress affect school leaders’ nervous systems and leadership style
- Identify signs of secondary trauma, burnout, and compassion fatigue
- Learn real-time regulation techniques to support themselves and their sustainable leadership
- Explore the conditions for psychological safety in teams in their contexts
- Reflect on their own leadership culture and embed trauma responsive practices into everyday decision-making
- Build strategies for co-regulation, team resilience, and boundary setting
Whether you're battling burnout, navigating complexity, or looking to build trauma-responsive cultures, this immersive experience gives you the real-world tools and insights to lead with calm, clarity and confidence.
