School leaders have a unique opportunity to create environments where both staff and students thrive despite the current challenges in education. With the potential for growth and innovation at every turn, the question becomes: how can you build trust, inspire your team, and lead meaningful change in your school?
Join us and learn strategies for effective school leadership and how to overcome barriers for change so you can optimise the conditions for teaching and learning in your school.

The morning session, Compelling Leadership: Trust and Transformational Leadership, led by Paul Browning, will focus on building trust as the foundation of impactful leadership. The afternoon session, Optimising the Conditions for Learning, will guide participants in identifying and overcoming barriers to creating a dynamic learning environment. Attend the full day or choose either the morning or afternoon session to gain actionable insights and strategies for leading meaningful change in your school.

AM Workshop
Compelling Leadership: Trust and Transformational Leadership

The key to compelling leadership is the creation of a culture of trust. Trust enables people to flourish. It improves wellbeing, student learning and opens the way to innovation. But how do you create a culture of trust: In the way that you lead.

Paul Browning, author of the best-selling leadership book, “Principled: 10 leadership practices that build trust” has run the Compelling Leadership workshop to well over 4,000 school and corporate leaders across several countries.

Through a facilitated combination of group discussions, pair discussions and personal reflection time participants will have the opportunity to pause and reflect on their own leadership practices, identifying strengths and areas that they think they may need to develop. As an outcome, participants may decide to administer the Trust and Transformational Leadership Assessment Rubric in their own organisation to help them understand their staffs’ perception of their leadership.

PM Workshop
Optimising the Conditions for Learning

Creating the optimal environment for learning involves aligning several key elements within a school. These essential conditions include:

School culture
Student engagement
Teacher agency and empowerment
Quality of teaching
Systems to promote professional growth
Approaches to leadership
Focus on higher-order cognitive skills

However, aligning and maximising all seven areas to create a dynamic and innovative learning environment can feel overwhelming—especially in a system facing crises on multiple fronts. With teachers stretched thin and schools barely keeping afloat, the question arises: Where do you even begin to transform your school into a cutting-edge institution?

This 2-hour interactive workshop offers school leaders the opportunity to identify the obstacles holding them back. Together, participants will analyse whether these barriers are real or perceived and unlock new ways to move forward.

The workshop will inspire leaders to reimagine possibilities by addressing these key questions:

What data would empower you to make meaningful improvements?
How can you promote teacher wellbeing while also growing their professional capacity?
What strategies can enhance student engagement and foster the critical skills needed to thrive in the AI era?

Join us for this practical, thought-provoking session designed to reignite your leadership journey. Walk away with actionable insights, fresh perspectives, and a renewed sense of purpose for leading meaningful change in your school.
