The 4 Essential Roles of Leadership™ - 2 days 

How can educational leaders stay ahead of the curve and thrive alongside their teams when so much is changing so quickly? Even in the most turbulent times, there are four roles educational leaders play that are highly predictive of success: inspire trust, create vision, execute strategy, and coach potential. 

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. People skills drive a great deal of success in the role, yet many Vice-Principals and Principals are promoted into leadership because of their technical capabilities, without mastering the skills of managing and motivating others. Become familiar with the mindsets, skillsets, and toolsets needed to excel in your role of leading others effectively.

The 5 Choices to Extraordinary Productivity© - 2 days
It’s not about getting everything done in your school: it’s about getting the right things done without burning out. This workshop combines timeless principles with current neuroscience research to help better manage decisions, attention, and energy. Participants learn to make more selective, high-impact choices about where to invest their valuable time, attention, and energy.

Inclusive Leadership© - 1 day 
Build an organizational culture in your school that celebrates diverse experiences and perspectives. Develop an environment where all staff feel welcome and thrive professionally. Inclusive leaders work to address their own biases, identify bias in others, seek out new perspectives, and model curiosity and empathy for their colleagues.

Multipliers© - 1 day 
There’s far more intelligence and energy inside organizations than we realize. Leaders are key to unlocking these capabilities. Multipliers are leaders who access the untapped capabilities of their school staffs, rekindle energy and enthusiasm as staffs achieve a greater impact, encourage new and bold thinking, and reach new levels of engagement by amplifying people’s intelligence. 

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.

Aspire for Aspiring School Leaders - 1 day, co-created with district
While establishing their place in a leadership role, new leaders must learn to maintain relationships while providing feedback, support, and mentorship, all as they continue to grow themselves. As new leaders begin to understand their impact within the broader scope of their work, Aspire will help to support their awareness of decision making, alignment of messaging and actions, and accountability for results.

Cognitive Coaching® is an eight-day seminar. Increase individual potential, heighten performance, and improve resourcefulness while exploring the thinking behind practices. Research indicates that teaching is a complex intellectual activity, and that teachers who think at higher levels produce students who are higher achieving, more cooperative, and better problem solvers. It is the invisible skills of teaching, the thinking processes that underlie instructional decisions, which produce superior instruction.
