Roger Fairhead

Leadership development to build your culture and meet your goals!

With over 30 years of experience in business, education and non-profit settings, Roger knows first-hand the challenges of leading through complexity. In his leadership specialist role, he helps teams build collaborative cultures and achieve their goals.

As an educator and leader in your school context, Roger understands the pressures you face on a daily basis. To enable your students to succeed, you must attain a high standard of teaching outcomes whilst navigating challenges that can lead to stress, burnout and high turnover.

From heavy workloads to limited resources to policy changes and more, teachers often feel ill-equipped to tackle issues that frustrate their primary goal: to educate their students and help them succeed.

That’s why Roger works with educators to develop their leadership skills and increase their effectiveness. In the process, he helps individuals and teams become more collaborative, capitalise on their strengths and take consistent action to meet their goals.

Roger provides leadership development that is:
√ Specific to your school context
√ Tailored to your needs and preferred learning styles
√ Interactive, engaging and practical

Covering essential topics such as:
√ Leading yourself and others
√ Culture and teamwork
√ Managing change
√ Organisational leadership

Prior to Roger’s leadership specialist work, his background was in managing engineering projects and project management consultancy. In recent years he has led the Global Leadership Network UK & Ireland as its CEO and Chairman of the Board.

A proven educator, Roger has experience teaching students at all stages, from primary to postgraduate education. He has a Certificate in FE Teaching. His accreditations include Maxwell Leadership, Patrick Lencioni’s Table Group and the Personality Insights Institute. He is also a fellow of the Institute for Leadership and Management and of the Professional Speaking Association.

His passion is to ‘Help difference makers make a difference’. That’s why he loves to help teachers reconnect with their own passion and develop their leadership.

By working with Roger, you and your team will be better equipped to manage your daily pressures and build a culture that supports your goals.

Testimonials from Teachers

The session with Roger helped me focus on what it was I was trying to achieve. It clarified my goals and objectives and made it clear that I knew where I was going. It also made me consider how I influence others to join me on that journey and to remember that it’s not just about selling the vision, but also creating the imperative to leave where you currently are at. A very thought-provoking presentation that continues to resonate across the group.

– Nick Brennan, Head Teacher, OSSMA

A leadership development facilitator who “really” cares about the people in the room and wants 100% to empower them to use the knowledge he imparts. A genuine guy with an engaging delivery style. Well worth a listen to.

– David Hyner, Motivational Speaker, Stretch Development

I had the great privilege of working with Roger Fairhead in 2020 and 2021, as he assumed a key leadership role with our affiliated organization, the Global Leadership Network – United Kingdom and Ireland (GLN UKI). During this season, I became very familiar with the strength of Roger’s skills not only as a leader, but also as a leadership advisor. Roger brought to GLN UKI his extensive background in leadership, and in leadership development. In doing so, he demonstrated strong competency in a number of critical leadership functions, including: Team building, Clarity of communications, Vision alignment, Strategic planning, Goal setting and Execution. If your organization is in need of consultation in any of these areas of leadership, I would have no hesitancy in recommending the services of Roger Fairhead.

– Scott Cochrane, Vice President, International Ministries, Global Leadership Network
