Art of Leadership

Audience: Principals, school executive

The Art of Leadership is structured upon a leadership effectiveness framework that identifies and builds the capabilities that both school experience and relevant research shown to be essential to successful school leadership. This framework encompasses four dimensions; Leadership of self, Leadership of others, Leadership of teams and Strategic school leadership. This practical, interactive program addresses the skills, processes and knowledge needed to lead a successful school with participants applying and refining skills in their own workplace context.

The Art of Leadership Masterclass

The AOL Masterclass builds on the knowledge and skills developed in the Art of Leadership program. Completion of the Art of Leadership is a requirement.

7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Audience: Principal, school executive

No matter how competent a person is, he or she will not have sustained and lasting success unless they are able to effectively lead themselves, influence, engage and collaborate with others, and continually improve and renew their capabilities. These elements are at the heart of personal, team, and organisational effectiveness. The 7 Habits will enable you to intentionally align values, behaviours, norms and systems toward a central strategy where culture becomes a force to drive results. You will learn how to grasp the 7 Habits as a powerful tool for creating a great culture and model and reinforce the 7 Habits to create an operating system for effectiveness in your teams and school.

Leading at the Speed of Trust

Audience: Principals, school executive

When trust is low, suspicion is high, and communication is guarded. With high trust, communication, creativity, and engagement improve. Trust is one of the most important aspects in today’s school environment and like any other discipline, creating trust is a learnable skill. With increased trust our attention is redirected towards improving student learning outcomes. Leading at the Speed of Trust will provide the mindset, skillset, and toolset that will measurably increase a participant’s ability to deliver results in a way that inspires trust.
