Functionally Fluent School Leaders' Program

€ 725,00
€ 877,25 Incl. VAT

For school leaders and educators of all levels and experience

In today’s schools, leaders are expected to do more than just manage — they are expected to inspire, adapt, and lead with purpose in an ever-changing environment. But even the most experienced leaders can feel overwhelmed, caught in reactive cycles and patterns, stretched too thin, or unsure how to bring their best self into complex situations.

That’s where Functional Fluency comes in.

What is this program?

The Functionally Fluent School Leaders' Program is a unique blend of coaching, experiential learning, and practical behavioural-focused development experience tailored specifically for those in education.

Using the Functional Fluency model, a proven behavioural framework, you will gain insight into what drives your responses under pressure, how your behaviour affects others, and how to shift from automatic reactions to intentional, effective leadership.

You will also receive your own individual TIFF© profile (Temple Index of Functional Fluency) which offers a unique snapshot of your behavioural tendencies and energy use across nine modes of behaviour, have a 1:1 TIFF© feedback and coaching session, create a personalised action plan, and experience our unique Get on the mat!© (GOTM©) method during each group coaching session.

Whether you're newly promoted or years into your role, this program provides space to reflect, recalibrate, reconnect with your purpose and lead with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.

What You'll Learn

By developing your knowledge of Functional Fluency, you'll learn how to:

  • Respond calmly and clearly in high-pressure situations
  • Build stronger, trust-based relationships with staff, peers, students and parents
  • Recognise, understand and shift unhelpful behavioural patterns
  • Use your energy more effectively across the day and reduce stress
  • Communicate and make decisions with confidence, even in conflict
  • Set healthy boundaries without disconnecting from care
  • Build a personalised action plan based on your own context
  • Develop sustainable leadership strategies
  • Practise real-time behaviour shifts using experiential tools

Who It's For

This programme is ideal for those in school leadership or aspiring leadership roles, including:

  • Headteachers, deputy heads, assistant heads
  • Middle and senior leaders
  • Pastoral, safeguarding or curriculum leads
  • Teachers moving into leadership
  • Educators feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or at risk of burnout

 If you are leading people while still managing your own teaching and wellbeing, this programme meets you where you are.

Transformation stories

I did the TPLT because I wanted to be able to use an assessment tool founded in TA theory. The course has improved my confidence in talking about Functional Fluency and broader TA theory in coaching, educational and organisational settings. The buddy group gave great opportunities to practise, share ideas and gain mutual support. The supervision provided was invaluable throughout the process.

If you want to work with behaviours with your clients, the TIFF tool has great rigour and research behind it. Clients ‘get’ the Functional Fluency model and can access its value to their development immediately. It’s visually engaging and stimulates good dialogue. The language is easy to transfer into any setting, especially the workplace. The Functional Fluency International community is also passionate and engaging.

I particularly appreciated the attentiveness and commitment of the trainers and the supervision was invaluable. The course has helped me look at my own behaviour – when I act effectively and when I lose my energy. I have gained a valuable tool to work with professionally.
