MINDSET PROGRAMS FOR SUSTAINABLE LEADERSHIP 2022 - TERM 2

Transformative mindset programs to enhance leadership and wellbeing by resetting the way we think, be and do.

02

NEW LEADERSHIP SKILLS FOR THE "NEXT NORMAL"

School leadership in these challenging times of uncertainty and rapid change demands difficult decisions, complex community engagement, selfless service and the mental and physical energy to carry the school through.

To persevere and continue to contribute with purpose and joy through the "next normal", principals and school executives need a smarter, not harder, way of navigating these complexities. One that incorporates self-care as well as selfless service.

This starts with developing a mindset that can remain calm, clear, curious and focussed amidst change, confrontation and chaos.

Coupled with a “heartset” to lead from a place of openness, compassion and wise action.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Build upon skills to: Stay resilient through challenging times Lead with calm, clarity and focus Reduce and manage overwhelm Balance work-life demands See problems with fresh eyes Do hard things in a human way

"This program taught me how to put on my own oxygen mask first ... so I could better help others."

Skilfully handle difficult conversations Balance emotions and reduce reactivity Lead with agility through change Reconnect with the joy of serving

WHAT LEADERS SAY ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS “Throughout the day School Executives have to catch many curve balls ...

I know that through this year of many complexities I would have been out on stress leave if it wasn’t for this project.

I recommend it to everyone."

"I am more focused and in control of my work and tasks and do not feel as pressured or inundated by the demands of my role. Every school leader should experience this program, given the nature of our job and the expectations thrust upon us.”

Recommend the program Plan to use the techniques

"Kept me sane throughout a tough term where relationships were strained ... I am feeling positive coming to the end of the term and optimistic about the future."

“Best professional learning I have ever done and certainly the most beneficial. It has changed how I operate both at work and home."

"I am grateful for the skills and life this opportunity has given me.

I no longer work - I educate, collaborate and lead. At home I am more present and supportive for my children."
