Join us! The final installment of our Live Fall Webinar Series, Fearless Leadership: Taking the Dread Out of Leadership Feedback is December 5, 2024 from 12:00pm - 1:00pm ET.
Meredith Monk Ford and leadership coach Dan Musick explore how investing in a thoughtful, growth-focused 360 process can transform leadership within a school. Stronger leaders mean healthier teams, and healthier teams mean a better school culture for everyone.
While live attendance is strongly encouraged, we understand that life happens (especially in schools!) The recording and resources will be shared with everyone who registers.
Founded by Peter Baron, MoonshotOS is dedicated to equipping independent school leaders with the tools they need to ensure their schools thrive. Meredith has partnered with MoonshotOS for a lab session where participants will address strategic questions that help leverage professional learning as a tool for culture building including:
How can I align our school’s strategy for professional growth with our strategic priorities in order to advance our school’s mission and vision?
What 2-3 specific behaviors will people display if they have incorporated this vision into their work?
Where can I build in an early ‘win’ for the group and celebrate it?
Participants will walk away with practical tools and clear next steps to begin shifting workplace culture with the support of a more intentional professional development strategy.
