Are you looking to view your school leadership potential in fresh and insightful ways?
If you’re a middle leader or thinking about becoming one, this three-day bespoke leadership development program is for you.
Designed by prominent and highly respected author Gavin Grift, ‘Emerge as the leader you are’ will give you an opportunity to chart your own leadership course with a deliberate focus on where and how you direct your thinking.
Based on Gavin’s new book Emerge, you will apply the knowledge gained from the program to move closer to your mission to lead. You’ll learn more about your ingrained dispositions, motivations and physiological responses to enhance your emotional intelligence when leading others.
We will illuminate your potential blind spots and encourage you to leverage these as you come to view problems and people as your greatest opportunity for growth.
This three-day action learning program will help you apply your understanding in real and meaningful ways, leading to greater fulfilment, impact and influence in your role.
Lines of inquiry
- How might elevating our self-awareness assist us to lead with more clarity, purpose and poise?
- What has research taught us about self-awareness in the last 20 years and why should it matter to a leader?
- What might be some of the mental barriers associated with our leadership and how can they be overcome?
- How does self-awareness shape our identity as leaders and the subsequent influence, fulfillment and impact we have?
- What practical approaches might you use to grow as a leader of people and process?
“A self-described ‘conduit’ between the middle leader and the experience of thousands of leaders, Gavin Grift generously invites the middle leader into a journey of self-awareness, readily sharing wise insights to enable leadership growth.”
