The Connections Forum

NEW FROM Early Education Leadership (EEL)

A dedicated space for EEL alumni to stay attuned and connected to their work & leadership community.

The Connections Forum is a monthly learning and connection space for early childhood leaders who have previously participated in an Early Education Leadership program, including Conscious Leaders Mastermind, Online Conscious Leaders Program (previously known as Leading from Behind), the Dandelion Project or other leadership coaching and mentoring Conscious Leadership programs with Sarah Moore.

What is The Connections Forum?

The Connections Forum is a monthly group Zoom call led by Sarah Moore. Run through a relational leadership lens the sessions will focus on the EEL tools and real world applications from your own services and experiences.

You’ll have the opportunity to bring current leadership challenges into the space and access in-the-moment coaching, while also learning from the shared experiences of other early childhood leaders who understand the realities of the sector.

Sessions will focus on EEL leadership tools and how they can:

be used in real service-based scenarios
support your relationships with educators, room leaders, families, and leadership teams
be applied in ways that are realistic alongside competing priorities such as ratios and other staffing pressures.

Each month you’ll gain:

A focused exploration of EEL tools
Practical ways to apply them within your service
Ongoing connection to a community grounded in Conscious Leadership principles
Support to reflect on and strengthen your relational leadership where it matters most, in practice, with other early childhood leaders, in real time.

Be part of the community.

This forum is designed for leaders who want to stay connected to the work, not by adding more theory, but by revisiting familiar tools and frameworks and making sense of them in the context of everyday early childhood leadership.

Join the community of Educational Leaders, Directors, and other early childhood leaders who have completed professional learning with Sarah Moore at Early Education Leadership, and are looking for an ongoing space to reflect, embed, practise, and sustain conscious and relational leadership.

The Power of Community

Leadership is not meant to be a solitary path. In The Connections Forum you’ll find a circle of leaders who get it, people who share your values, understand your challenges, and believe in the power of leading from the heart.

It’s a space where vulnerability is welcomed, courage is cultivated, and growth is shared. Together, you’ll challenge assumptions, celebrate breakthroughs, and create new ways of leading that put humanity, not hurry at the centre.

Grounded in the National Quality Standard (NQS)

Across the 10 months, you’ll strengthen practice in key areas of the NQS:

QA4 – Staffing Arrangements: Create collaborative, reflective teams where educators feel valued and supported.
QA5 – Relationships with Children: Model trust-centred, emotionally attuned communication that shapes meaningful relationships.
QA6 – Collaborative Partnerships: Lead open, courageous conversations that deepen family and community connections.
QA7 – Governance and Leadership: Clarify purpose, embed reflective practice, and guide continuous improvement with confidence.
