WHY YOU WANT TO ATTEND

Many successful educators find themselves in leadership roles without substantive training on leading teams. Does this sound familiar? 

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. You’ll learn to lead and facilitate teams with an understanding of adult learning theory, to execute the administrative tasks that will keep your team thriving, to cultivate your team’s emotional resilience to combat cynicism, and to keep your team centered on your shared vision and purpose.

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. You’ll leave this workshop feeling like you are able to effectively lead teams through understanding the power of purpose in teamwork and leadership; you’ll feel grounded in practical tools that help you to build inclusive, emotionally intelligent teams who get incredible work done; you’ll feel much better equipped to navigate conflict and decision-making; and you’ll feel anchored in your identity as a leader who is able to recognize the importance of self work and team work so you can be courageous and resilient. 

📖 Move beyond the book: 

If you want to facilitate teams that are resilient and get stuff done, you need guided practice. You need to understand a strategy, make meaning of it with others, see it modeled, and then practice it. That is what you’ll experience in this workshop. 

New and experienced coaches, teacher leaders, administrators, and facilitators will acquire new tools and strategies and gain invaluable insight into transformative methods to develop teams.

⬆️ More than skill building: 

This workshop also provides you with the space and community to bolster your own resilience. You’ll have time to slow down to reflect on who you are as a leader and who you want to be. Then you’ll have the opportunity to process in community and have meaningful conversations with leaders from across the globe. You’ll uncover new sources of internal energy and return to your work feeling energized, inspired to implement your learning, and be the leader you want to be.
