Wednesday March 19 with Ainsley Rose - Becoming a Leader of Influence
“In every encounter with our family, friends, and colleagues we either enhance or diminish our relationships and therefore our influence on them”. This is a quote from the long-awaited book on Influence I began writing many years ago. It will form the basis of this thoughtful, reflective and interactive session on becoming a Leader of Influence. This session will incorporate some of the work and learning you have experienced in other sessions and will allow you some time to make connections to some of my ideas about the importance of influence and the potential impact you can make on the people in your organization. As education is the discovery, development and deployment of human talent we need to be mindful of the influence a capable, trustworthy and purposeful value-driven leader can have. How do you become such a leader. is the question we will seek to answer in this one-day session.
Thursday March 20 with Dean Shareski - Beyond Awareness: Leading the Generative AI Shift in Education
This immersive, full-day workshop explores the rapidly evolving landscape of Generative AI in schools. School leaders will dive deep into the risks and opportunities, understanding that effective leadership requires more than passive awareness. From personal engagement to professional responsibility, intellectual curiosity to policy crafting, this session will equip you to lead the AI transformation with confidence and foresight. Bring your laptops, excitement and concerns as we work together to better address this emerging societal and educational shift.
Friday March 21 with Joanne Henrico - Navigating Challenges and Building Trust with Stakeholders
