Barbara K. Watterston, EdD, has extensive experience in education and has held a number of school and executive leadership positions across Australia within the education and not-for-profit community sectors. She specializes in facilitation and research focused on the design and delivery of professional learning programs to develop, enhance, and promote the work of the education profession—in particular school and system leadership to ensure learning for all.

Barbara’s Australian and international research, consultancy, coaching, and speaking engagements center on leadership development that emphasizes the impact of high-quality leadership on student learning. Her research report, Insights: Environmental Scan—Principal Preparation Programs, contributed to five major Australian recommendations for preparing future school leaders.

Barbara’s advocacy for women in leadership was fueled by the lack of representation of women in leadership roles. Together with the importance of enriching a more inclusive perspective of leadership, she saw this as missing out on the incredible potential of women to influence and positively impact reforms and outcomes. She also found that a significant component to enabling greater diversity meant women letting go of some of their own self-imposed barriers. Barbara’s doctoral thesis focused on gender, leadership, and learning, which informed her contribution as co-editor of the book Women in School Leadership: Journeys to Success.

Barbara has been recognized for her contributions to leadership and professional learning. She was the inaugural recipient of the Women of Achievement Award (Western Australia, 2005), is an Honorary Fellow of the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, and is a National Fellow of the Australian Council for Educational Leaders. Her expertise is regularly sought out to contribute in an advisory capacity as a member of numerous university, departmental, school, and professional boards.

Her Australian and international projects include emerging, executive, and system leadership programs. She has a special interest in the links between leadership sustainability, well-being, and impact on performance.
