The HoS Habits Leadership Lab is a dynamic group coaching program designed to cultivate impactful leadership through a powerful blend of asynchronous learning and collaborative live sessions with Dan Reynolds. Grounded in four core habit building themes, this lab helps you bridge the gap between aspiration and achievement, transforming your potential into impactful reality.
Drawing on nearly three decades of experience in international education, including six years as Head of School at Tokyo International School, leadership roles across three continents, and a recent tenure as Chair of the IB Association of Japan, Dan brings a unique and informed perspective. This is not theory. It is practical wisdom forged in the real world complexities of international school leadership.
How the Leadership Lab Works
Our program combines the flexibility of self paced study with the power of shared experience and expert guidance. The course is structured around four habit themes, each aligned to a specific module:
Keystone Habits — pivotal leadership practices that create a ripple effect of success
Identity Building Habits — reinforcing the kind of leader you aim to be
Principle Based Habits — anchoring decisions in values and vision
Future Focused Habits — preparing yourself and others for what is next
Each week, you will engage in a rhythm of personal reflection, peer connection, and actionable growth.
Asynchronous Learning Modules
Engage with carefully curated content, exercises, and reflections at your own pace. These modules provide context and clarity, preparing you for deeper live engagement.
Live Group Sessions
Join Dan and a small, dedicated cohort for a 60 minute interactive session focused on:
• Deep dives into key leadership concepts and challenges
• Facilitated discussion and collaborative problem solving
• Habit accountability and goal tracking
• Personalized feedback within a supportive community
Peer Support Network
All participants should join the HoS Habits LinkedIn Group, a vibrant space to share resources, ask for advice, and build lasting professional relationships with fellow leaders around the globe.
Actionable Habit Implementation
Each module is intentionally crafted to help you apply habit building strategies directly within your leadership context. From foundational keystone habits to identity shaping routines, principle centered practices, and future focused leadership habits, the lab draws on the insights of Charles Duhigg, James Clear, Stephen Covey, Simon Sinek, and Admiral William McRaven to help you build a leadership style that is resilient, reflective, and lasting.

The HoS Habits Leadership Lab is ideal for school leaders who thrive in a balance of independent learning and dynamic group engagement. Whether you are preparing for your first leadership role or stepping into a new level of impact, this lab will help you embed habits that stick.
