“Open-to-learning™ Leadership helps to develop a culture of trust and continuous improvement. Starting as a first-time principal, it was important to work collaboratively and build relational trust with all stakeholders as we identified the future goals for our school. The learning gained from the workshops provided me with strategies for having challenging conversations that demonstrated a respect for others whilst addressing areas of concern. It has made me more mindful of my practice as a leader. Every conversation is an opportunity to be open to learning.”
