November 7, 2026 · 45 min

Show notes

Today, I’m joined by Benjamin Potter, an educator, school leader and passionate advocate for developing the next generation of educational leaders.

Based on the Gold Coast, Benjamin’s career spans Australia and the UK, with experience in pastoral and academic leadership. He holds a Master of Educational Leadership, serves on the ACEL Queensland Steering Committee and recently presented at the 2026 ACEL National Conference in Perth.

Benjamin also hosts Becoming: Leadership Stories for the Middle, a podcast exploring the challenges and opportunities of middle leadership.

Benjamin believes schools exist to develop people, strengthen relationships and shape character, beyond academic results.

In today’s conversation, we explore leading with purpose, navigating middle leadership, staying true to your values and making a lasting difference in the lives of others.

Benjamin Potter, welcome to The Art of Teaching.
