In this episode, Helen speaks with Jim Fuller about ways to become a leader in your educational context through your sphere of influence and understanding the culture, social skills, collaboration, and continuous professional development. He encourages us to seek out development opportunities and face challenges, and reminds leaders that the environment that they create has a huge impact on CPD for all.

Jim works as a teacher trainer for The North Station Academy in Zaragoza as well as for Cambridge University Press and Assessment. He’s also completing the NILE MADPLE, with a focus on Trainer Development and Management within ELT, and is the admin coordinator of the TTEdSIG committee.
