In Grounded, Katrina Bourke offers a life raft for leaders navigating uncertain and chaotic times. This deeply personal guide draws from Katrina's own journey of leadership, burnout and what she calls her 'log cabin breakdown'. Her Grounded Leadership Framework invites leaders, particularly those in education, to build their own sacred ground:

a solid, steady foundation that anchors them through challenge and change.

Grounded offers journalling prompts and practical, evidence-based strategies to help you lead with authenticity - even if you are paddling furiously beneath a calm surface. It is a quiet rebellion against the culture of constant urgency; a call to courageously slow down and embrace your full humanity, strengths, imperfections and vulnerabilities. For doing so is not a weakness: it's the key to creating human-centred environments where both you and those you serve can thrive.
