The 6 Critical Practices for Leading a Team™ - 1 day
From new and emerging leaders to those more seasoned in educational leadership, the role of a school leader is tough.

Multipliers© - 1 day
There’s far more intelligence and energy inside organizations than we realize. Leaders are key to unlocking these capabilities.

Unconscious Bias© - 1 day
The rapid pace of educational change means that leaders are faced with making countless decisions that have an impact on the educational outcomes within a district. And, they do so while serving an increasingly diverse student population. When acting quickly, school leaders and staff can be primed to rely on biased thinking, because unconscious biases are how our brains compensate for overload. This workshop helps leaders to identify bias, cultivate connection, and choose courage. More information
