The HoS Habits Podcast is your essential biweekly companion for cultivating intentional, impactful leadership in international education. Hosted by Dan Reynolds, a seasoned Head of School and the visionary behind HoS Habits, each episode offers a candid, practical look at the routines and practices that define effective school leadership.

In every conversation, Dan speaks with respected Heads of School and global education leaders. Drawing on nearly three decades in international education, he brings an informed, grounded perspective to each discussion, moving beyond theory to uncover the habits that drive lasting change in diverse school communities.

Each episode explores four key types of habits that shape powerful leadership:

• Keystone habits that create a ripple effect across leadership and culture (inspired by Charles Duhigg)

• Identity building practices that reinforce the kind of leader you want to be (inspired by James Clear)

• Principle based routines that align daily actions with core values and long term vision (inspired by Stephen Covey)

• Future focused habits that prepare emerging leaders to thrive in complex, global contexts

Guests share practical insights, stories, and strategies that translate research into real world action. The conversations are designed to help you reflect, adapt, and grow, whether you are already in a leadership role or preparing for one.

The HoS Habits Podcast is here to inspire and equip you with intentional strategies for leading with clarity, consistency, and purpose so you can build habits that matter and make a lasting impact on international education.
