Weston College’s Leadership and Management Team recently benefited from a dynamic and transformative training session with internationally respected leadership consultant and business psychologist, Sarah Rozenthuler. The session, grounded in Rozenthuler’s influential work Powered by Purpose: Energise Your People to Do Great Work, aimed to equip the College’s leaders with the mindset and tools to embed purpose at the heart of their work.

Sarah Rozenthuler’s research and training focus on cultivating purpose-led organisations that drive positive societal impact while also fostering employee engagement, innovation and resilience. The session with Weston College brought together key leaders and managers to reflect on the College’s mission, explore how to energise teams through shared purpose, and deepen their leadership capacity across both strategic planning and everyday practice.

Key areas explored included:

• Creating an inclusive and energised workplace culture
• Building psychological safety to empower team innovation
• Facilitating authentic dialogue across leadership groups
• Connecting personal and organisational purpose to unlock performance

Pat Jones, Principal and CEO of Weston College, commented:

“Investing in our people is one of the most powerful ways we can invest in our learners. This training with Sarah Rozenthuler is strengthening our leadership alignment, reconnecting us with our shared purpose, and has given us practical strategies to lead with clarity, compassion and confidence. When our staff are empowered, inspired and purpose-driven, the ripple effect positively impacts every student we serve.”

This training is part of Weston College’s ongoing commitment to staff development and to ensuring that its leadership is responsive to the complex challenges of today’s education landscape. As Rozenthuler notes in her work, “Purpose-led teams pull together to deliver sustainable value”, — and Weston College embodies that ethos, preparing learners for a brighter, more inclusive future.
