✨Dream big. Always. Haters will try to shrink your vision down to the size of their imagination. But your dream wasn’t given to them… it was given to YOU. So when the noise comes… just tell them to shhh 👆🏾 while you keep chasing. 🚀 #DreamBig #ChaseYourDreams #NoLimits #KeepGoing #StayFocused

You’ll never feel completely ready for the next step, because the next step always comes with new challenges. Growth and comfort don’t live in the same space. Step forward anyway. 🚀 #KeepGrowing #NextLevelMindset #LeadershipJourney #ComfortZoneChallenge #GoForIt

✨ 54 times around the sun ✨ Grateful for everything and everyone I have… but most of all, grateful for life itself. Too many didn’t make it to this age, so I don’t take a single day for granted. 🙏🏾 Here’s to many more years, more blessings, more love, and more life. 💫 #Blessings #PositiveVibes

💡 We all make bad decisions sometimes. It’s part of being human. The key is not to beat yourself up… but to learn, grow, and move forward. Cut yourself some slack. That’s real strength. #Leadership #GrowthMindset #SelfCompassion #KeepGrowing #AuthenticLeadership

Calm Leadership Lesson: ✨ Stop trying to fit into someone else’s box. ✨ Stop chasing their path. ✨ YOU are the blueprint. Your authenticity is your superpower – nothing is stronger than showing up as the real YOU. 💥 #BeYourself #AuthenticityWins #UnstoppableYou #PowerInYou #leadership

💡 Persistence isn’t about never failing… it’s about never stopping. 🚀 Keep showing up, keep grinding, keep believing… because THAT day will come. ✨🔥 #PersistencePays #KeepGoing #MotivationDaily #SuccessMindset #NeverGiveUp #DreamBigWorkHard #YourDayWillCome #GrindNowShineLater #StayConsistent

Calm Leadership Lesson: 🎬 Let them grab the popcorn. You’ve got a show to run. 🍿 Some will doubt you. Some will talk. Some will even take front-row seats, waiting for you to fail. Let them sit. Let them watch. Let them snack. And remember... success is best served with popcorn.

Calm Leadership for Hire! 💪🏾

Stop giving power to people who haven’t earned it. Their opinion isn’t your truth. 💥 #Mindset #SelfWorth #KeepItMoving #CalmLeadership #LeadershipMatters #teachersofbluesky

A week ago we had the privilege of hosting panels and presenting at @educationfest.bsky.social thanks to @shanemann.bsky.social and team. Huge thanks to all who engaged with us and made it such a special experience.

Something I never thought I’d say out loud: I’ve written a book! 📖 It’s called #CalmLeadership and it’s coming out in October 2025, published by the incredible team at Crown House Publishing. #CalmLeadership #LeadershipMatters #EducationLeadership #Headteacher #Wellbeing

Coming this October: #CalmLeadership by Patrick Cozier! 📝 A thoughtful and honest guide to school leadership, shaped by 24 years of experience - and a belief that calm, sustainable leadership is possible. Find out more: buff.ly/u2SbiDb @calmleadership.bsky.social

Calm Leadership Lesson: Stay true to who you are. In a world full of noise, authenticity is your edge. Lead with calm. Lead with integrity. #CalmLeadership #AuthenticLeadership #HeadteacherLife

Calm Leadership Lesson: Everything you need to succeed… you already have. In school leadership – and in life – there’s pressure to constantly “do more” or “be more.” But real leadership comes from a place of calm. Of presence. Of trusting the skills and wisdom you’ve already built up.

🎉 Big moment! I’ve got myself a Calm Leadership banner and I’m not gonna lie… I’m Proud! My brand new book Calm Leadership is out soon! 💥 Leading in tough times? 💥 Trying to stay grounded when everything feels chaotic? 💥 Want to lead with empathy and strength? This is the must-have book!

It’s TOMORROW! 🎉💥 I’m so excited to be speaking at the UK Festival of Education tomorrow, 3rd July — sharing my reflections on Calm Leadership. I’ll also be talking about my forthcoming book, Calm Leadership, due out later this year!

Calm Leadership Lesson: Leave Them Be! Do not allow those who do not wish you well to occupy your head space and plant seeds of doubt in your mind. Do not allow them to create turmoil. Turn the noise of the haters down, protect your peace, and Lead Calmly! ❤️ #CalmLeadership #LeadershipMatters

"We know what we are, but know not what we may be." – William Shakespeare I was just a little boy growing up in Tottenham... full of curiosity. I never imagined that I would become a successful headteacher. And so, to anyone reading this: Never doubt the potential of what you can become.

🎙️I had the absolute pleasure of joining Tom Sherrington and Emma Turner (supported by Lucas Kemper) on the Mind the Gap in partnership with Haringey Education Partnership, to talk about something very close to my heart... my forthcoming book: Calm Leadership.

🌟 Getting Ready for a Busy Few Weeks… and I’m feeling grateful. 🌟 Over the next few weeks, I’ll be speaking at some fantastic events: Each opportunity is a real privilege. If you're looking for a keynote speaker then let’s talk. 📩 [email protected]

Happy Father’s Day! ❤️ Today, I’m thinking of my own Dad, sadly no longer with us. He taught me so much about dignity, integrity, and the quiet strength of hard work. And now I walk this path myself, as a father to four incredible children. I am so proud of the beautiful young people they are. 👏

💛 Nobody does YOU like you... YOU are your own superpower! 💛 That’s why I created Calm Leadership - not just as a philosophy, but as a movement. 🌱 To support leaders to lead with presence, not panic. 🧭 To help people navigate complexity with calm, not chaos. ⚡ To develop leaders that last.

What type of leader do you want to be? Decide and proceed!! Lead Calmly ❤️

Hi, I’m Patrick Cozier - Headteacher for nearly 20 years, leadership coach, keynote speaker, and founder of Calm Leadership. I work with leaders who want to: ✅ Navigate challenges with clarity ✅ Lead with purpose, empathy and strength ✅ Build leadership that truly lasts DMs are open!

Getting increasingly excited for Festival of Education 2025! 🎉 🗓 Join me on 3rd July for my session on Calm Leadership. Then on 4th July, with my Heads' Roundtable colleagues Helena Marsh, Kulvarn Atwal, Caroline Barlow and Binks Neate-Evans on Emotionally Intelligent Leadership. See you there!

Calm Leadership Lesson: Jim Rohn once said: The challenge of leadership is to 🗣️ be strong, but not rude; 🗣️ be kind, but not weak; 🗣️ be bold, but not a bully; 🗣️ be thoughtful, but not lazy; 🗣️ be humble, but not timid; 🗣️ be proud, but not arrogant; 🗣️ have humour, but without folly.

Trust your instincts over rigid binary processes. Make your decision and lead calmly. ❤️

Calm Leadership Lesson: The choice to respond or not is ALWAYS yours. Protect your peace. Lead Calmly ❤️

Calm Leadership Lesson: Don’t get THROUGH the day…. Get FROM the day. Lead Calmly ❤️

Calm Leadership Lesson: Look at you with your bad self! Killing it… after all you’ve been through! Proud 😊 Lead Calmly ❤️

No matter how the odds are stacked against you…. Always believe you can succeed! Lead Calmly ❤️

Feeling privileged to have Leila Hassan-Howe speak to my Year 9s about Black British Civil Rights campaigns in the 70s with her late partner Darcus Howe. Also feeling proud to be part of a school where we can build this into our History curriculum. @hdesilva.bsky.social @calmleadership.bsky.social

Calm Leadership Lesson: Keep believing in you! Tell the haters to shhhh!! 🤫

As a coach and mentor, I’m reminded of my younger self. It wonder what would it be like to coach and mentor Patrick Cozier aged 30? I would offer the following advice... “Be calm… Your current challenges are preparing you to deal with what lies ahead.” What would you say to your younger self?

Calm Leadership Lesson: You are capable of great things. Do not be scared of your potential. Be bold… go out and do what you were born to do! 🙌🏾
