Cathy Seal: Creating a culture of relational practice in your setting

How do you stay true to what the research says works even when the system makes that feel impossible? In this session, Cathy Seal explores how leaders can use relational practice to hold onto evidence-informed approaches while navigating real-world constraints. She’ll consider the tension between strategic direction and systemic pressure, and how to lead with integrity, clarity and care even when the path isn’t straightforward.
