Two new programs coming for Semester 2

We are excited to offer two new programs that have been developed specifically for the NSWPPA, by Principals for school leaders. These programs have grown from the success of Art of Leadership and will also develop the effectiveness of our leadership capacity.

The Tao of Teams

Creating, sustaining and energising an effective team.

Effective teams are built around a clear and compelling purpose where trust and connected relationships enable an effective team culture. This program will work through the purpose and process of forming a team, creating a team culture and effective team practices. This is a practical and interactive program that will replicate team-creation and team-building practices as well as trust and connected relationships that are enablers of effective team cultures. Participants practise the skills learned and begin to apply these in their own workplace context.

Taking the Challenge out of Challenging Conversations

Powerful performance conversations.

This program will focus on the common features of challenging conversations that are critical for school leader effectiveness. This focus will include four conversation types; Performance, Boundaries, Alignment and Coaching conversations. Although some conversations require a certain level of assertiveness, the design of these conversations embodies the intent that each party in the conversation will leave it with greater clarity, a positive forward direction and with the relationship enhanced. The program is experiential, and participants will practise the skills learned and begin to apply these in their own workplace context.
