Key Learnings

Key Learnings

  1. Fostering Values-Driven Leadership and Team Alignment
    Participants will identify personal and team core values and learn how to lead with intentionality. They will create mission statements that reflect their "why" and use these values as a guide for decision-making and team interaction.

  2. Building Trust Through Communication and Connection
    Administrators will explore the impact of low-trust environments and discover specific strategies for cultivating trust—such as active listening, shared leadership, and consistent, small positive actions ("marbles in the jar"). This includes understanding the emotional components of trust, like vulnerability, empathy, and curiosity.

  3. Creating a Culture of Belonging and Courageous Conversations
    Through frameworks like "Brave Conversations," participants will learn how to engage in difficult dialogue with compassion. They’ll practice strategies for showing up authentically, supporting diverse perspectives, and sustaining a culture where all staff feel safe, valued, and empowered to contribute
