Join us as we chat with Robyn Hutchins, a primary school principal on the Gold Coast with an unconventional path into education. From high school teaching to leading in primary, Robyn’s story is all about adaptability, growth, and the power of great mentors and colleagues.
We dive into her leadership style—grounded in steadiness and support—and how it shapes her approach to guiding teams and driving change. Robyn shares why having a strong support network (think of it like your own "personal board of directors") is key to staying balanced and avoiding burnout, especially for women in leadership roles.
You’ll hear real talk on setting work-life boundaries, handling the loneliness that can come with leadership, and practical strategies to keep leaders resilient. Plus, Robyn opens up about the highs and lows of her journey—empowering teachers, building a strong school culture, and the lessons she’s learned along the way.
If you're an aspiring leader looking for honest insights, this episode is packed with wisdom, relatable stories, and tips to help you lead with clarity, balance, and purpose.
