Transformation has become a ‘buzz word’
in education. It means different things to different people, yet
there are few school leaders today who would not be glad of transformation,
in at least some form.
Transformation requires inspirational leaders,
throughout schools. Impossible to develop through a ‘competencies’
approach, we believe that this kind of leadership is founded upon:
• personal
power, rather than institutional power
• deeply held,
well-communicated values
• strong, positive
relationships, with self and others
• clarity of
purpose
• freedom from
stress
Our starting point is to assume you are working
to an overcrowded agenda. Unlike other conferences, Space
for Transformation will not give you more to think about,
more to remember and more to do. Rather than add to your agenda,
we provide space, clarity, empowerment and support. We help you
to renew your commitment to the values that led you into education.
We then assist you in addressing the challenges
of transformation, both personally and professionally, that those
values require. aHead-Space does not supply solutions, or work through
a menu, in a ‘how to do it’ approach. In new-found clarity
of mind and purpose, we help you to identify the one or two issues
for yourself and your staff that, when tackled creatively, will
allow you to unlock the rest.
Here are some of
the issues and challenges
that we expect to address together:
• achieving
clarity of purpose
• improving work-life balance
• articulating aims and vision
• enabling colleagues to internalise
goals
• cherishing self and all individuals
• managing key team relationships
• handling ‘difficult
conversations’
• dealing with confrontation
and its aftermath
• removing obstacles to learning
• turning discipline and behaviour
around
• promoting and evaluating
creativity
If any of these challenge or inspire you, Space
for Transformation will help you to find a clear way
ahead.
