Empowering workshops and keynote presentations that honour the human behind the role.

Through evidence‑informed strategies and lived experience, I help educators and leaders understand their nervous system, navigate stress, and build sustainable wellbeing practices that support both individuals and whole school communities. My keynote presentations and workshops create the space, connection, and practical learning needed for staff to explore these concepts in real time — and to walk away with tools they can use immediately.

This is for your school if:

You want to support staff, early career teachers, and leaders with practical wellbeing tools that are grounded in real classroom and leadership experience

Your team is carrying high emotional and cognitive load, and you want to give them space to pause, reflect, and feel genuinely supported

You’re seeking wellbeing support that goes beyond generic self‑care messages — something evidence‑informed, realistic, and tailored to the realities of school life

You recognise signs of overwhelm or survival‑mode patterns across your staff and want to respond proactively, not reactively.

You want your educators to feel validated, understood, and equipped with strategies that honour their humanity, not add to their workload.

You’re committed to building a culture where staff can regulate their nervous system, set healthy boundaries, and reconnect with their purpose.

 
 

When Teachers Thrive, School Communities Flourish

Prioritising staff wellbeing and nervous system regulation isn’t an add‑on — it’s a strategic investment in a healthier, more resilient school. When educators and leaders feel calm, supported, and emotionally regulated, they bring greater clarity, compassion, and stability to their work.

Engaging your staff in wellbeing‑centred professional development — through workshops or keynote presentations — creates the conditions for this to happen. These sessions give educators space to pause, understand their nervous system, and learn practical tools they can use immediately. The result is school‑wide impact: reduced burnout, stronger relationships, and safer, more connected learning environments.

Prioritising wellbeing through intentional professional learning is not just training; it’s a catalyst for whole‑school transformation.

  • "An excellent and insightful session."

    The Teacher Wellbeing Transformed workshop by Bianca McLeish was an excellent and insightful session that emphasised the need to prioritise teacher wellbeing in our complex workplaces. It offered practical strategies alongside meaningful opportunities to build a shared language with peers around wellbeing. This shared understanding is integral for moving forward together as staff. I would highly recommend the workshop to schools seeking to strengthen wellbeing conversations and practices.

  • “Would absolutely recommend Bianca’s book and workshop to anyone!”

    Bianca’s workshop gave teachers practical and realistic advice that could be implemented straight away.  It gave teachers a space to pause and reflect on their current wellbeing; then a what’s next and what can I do to help myself.  It also gave people a place to connect with one another and realise we are all experiencing these same feelings of burn out.  Would absolutely recommend Bianca’s book and workshop to anyone, not just teachers!
