OPENING MESSAGE

What to Do About Too Much to Do

As we open the conference, let’s be honest. Your mind is racing with thoughts of a hundred other things you could be doing back at your school or organization. The urgent stuff is stealing your ability to think and work longer term, and the busyness of the every day has you feeling tired… REALLY tired. Our keynote speaker says the solution to your dilemma is to run off and join the circus… at least mentally.

 

Get ready to learn a fresh and powerful way to manage the tsunami of tasks, people, and expectations coming at you every day so you can deliver your best work and still have time for YOU!

 

MORNING SESSION

How To Become A Strong(er) Leader

If someone asked you, “What’s the model you use for leadership?” how would you respond? Is it some formal approach you learned in college? The example of a current or former colleague? More importantly, how is that approach working for you?

 

In this breakout session you’ll learn two questions you must know to motivate anyone and how to use “3Ps” to guide your choices. Most importantly, you’ll learn that when you lead like a gardener, you only need to remember four words: Grow, Cultivate, Prune, and Harvest.

 

AFTERNOON MESSAGE

How To Use Today To Improve Others Tomorrow

The ultimate success of this conference depends on your desire and ability to take the ideas you have gained today and put them into action in your district, school or organization. But how do you quickly convince others that change is needed and get their buy-in on trying new strategies? How can you get others to mentally “tap their brakes” to really listen to what you have to say?

 

When you leave this session you’ll be equipped to more quickly connect, engage, and motivate others to embrace the ideas you’ve gained today.
