The future of your workplace environment hangs in limbo – between what has always been and what potential exists – and you have a choice. You can continue to attach old systems and ideologies to new problems and needs, or you can step up and seek out new answers that can have a tangible impact on employees, teams, and their future.
After 20 years as a principal, I knew the ins and outs of the system that I was told I needed to abide by and relinquish control to. But it was painful to watch my peers, as well as the students, flounder underestimate the weight of what was being asked of them, leading many to burnout and move out of their work as educators. This didn’t only impact their lives either – it impacted the students and their families, and oftentimes their districts as a whole.
This is why I began to make incremental changes in the way I created our school environments. I believed in supporting, challenging, and holding space for growth and innovation among the faculty I was leading, and in doing this, we maintained top standards both as schools and among the students.
Join me on a thrilling adventure where we unlock the magic of chance, fueled by a potent mix of power, purpose, and passion! Imagine transforming your workplace culture overnight through the art of conversation, reaping a bountiful harvest of growth and impact. Let’s unite to unleash the potential of a culture we believe in and help it soar to its greatest heights!
When we actively define our values and habits and strive to change those for the success of the greater good (our teams), everyone is impacted.
As we conduct our day-to-day tasks there are many voices around us seeking to sway, influence, and even intimidate. How we allow those voices to speak into our lives impacts how we conduct ourselves and our work. Learning how to identify the voices, both helpful and destructive, can greatly impact how we show up for not just our managers or fellow co-workers, but in our personal lives and relationships outside of our work.
With tactile examples and practical steps to move forward, this talk is highly sought after!
