Amanda Dickinson
I bring over 25 years of senior leadership experience as a former headteacher, deputy headteacher, senior leader and associate school adviser. I have embedded mindfulness strategies into my leadership roles. As an advocate for wellbeing, I have developed and successfully implemented a culture of mindfulness within the workplace, recognising its profound impact on staff engagement, productivity and emotional resilience.
With a strongly embedded personal practice of mindfulness, I have also experienced first hand the transformative benefits of this approach. I’m passionate about sharing these tools with others. My expertise both as a leader and mindfulness practitioner offers a dual perspective on how mindfulness can enhance both personal and professional lives. I believe that cultivating awareness, emotional balance and presence not only strengthens leadership but also creates healthier, more compassionate workplaces where people are empowered to thrive.
