Confidently lead a thriving, resilient, learning team that gets stuff done
Many successful educators find themselves in leadership roles without substantive training on leading teams. Is this you?
Based on Elena's best-selling book, The Art of Coaching Teams, this learning experience provides a framework and tools to lead an engaged, high-functioning team. This is a practical, hands-on workshop that blends technical skills with more complex theories that are vital for a thriving, resilient team. You'll see strategies modeled, have time to reflect on your own practice, and process the skills you're learning in a live format.

4. The key to effective listening
5. New ways to boost your emotional intelligence and build the emotional intelligence of your team
6. How to plan purposeful meetings
