What does meaningful, compassionate leadership look like in the arts right now?
At TPC 2025, Emma took to the stage to explore that very question! Her session created space to consider not just what we do as leaders, but how and why we lead. It resonated deeply with so many in the room, offering a grounding moment in the midst of a fast-paced day.
We’re excited to share a new resource that builds on that session: Reflective Leadership in the Arts: A Practical Guide.
This practical, thought-provoking guide is designed to help you carve out time for reflection: both in action (as you navigate the day-to-day) and on action (stepping back to make sense of challenges and decisions after they happen).
It introduces accessible frameworks from Emma’s session that you can return to again and again, whether you're facing a difficult decision, planning a new season, or supporting your team through change.
Inside, you’ll find:
- An introduction to reflective leadership and the key models that support it
- Key questions to help you reflect on your leadership approach
- Simple frameworks you can use
- Everyday ways to build reflection into your leadership style
Whether you’re a seasoned director or stepping into a leadership role for the first time, this resource offers a chance to pause, take stock, and realign with what matters most.
