About the workshop
With mounting workload expectations and multifaceted challenges, Education leaders find themselves stretched by ever-expanding role expectations and stress. Leading and managing in the evolving Education environment brings challenges few other professions experience. Without effective self-care strategies, it is becoming increasingly difficult to deliver excellence at work. While improving time management, prioritising, or learning new systems is useful, the most effective leaders know how to take stock of themselves and their emotions. Implementing effective focusing techniques like mindfulness develops strong self-awareness and self-regulation, so you can be the best leader you can be.
In this workshop, you will be encouraged to think about your organisation holistically and to understand the opportunities and avenues in which you can be an effective change agent. Expert facilitation will allow you to explore the unique skills required to lead effectively in education. Practical and interactive sessions will equip you with the strategies and techniques to enable you to reach your full potential, to pursue your chosen career path and to achieve success.
