Term 3 Connection Day Outline

Please find below further information in regards to our upcoming Connections Day In Term 3, we look forward to hosting a gathering of Senior School Leaders from across our Ropu on Thursday 3rd September. Register by clicking here

We look forward to having Marshall Diggs share his thoughts around Leading in a Changing World unpacking the following themes.

Sessions 1 - Leadership DNA in the 21st Century (Blurb)

With the death of the expert, and charismatic leadership now seen as a liability to an organisation, the question is only getting louder: What is the DNA of today’s best leaders? Leadership DNA takes an in-depth look at emerging requisites of 21st Century leadership and it unpacks what Emotional Intelligent Leadership entails in a school context.

Leadership DNA in the 21st Century can be challenging and juxtaposed to some of the traditional understandings and ideas about effective leadership. We will explore leadership trends since before the post-modernism era and share some of the most up-to-date and emerging leadership research from Dr Brene Brown's work: Strong Back, Soft Front, and a Wild Heart.

Session 2 - Across Generational Leadership (Blurb)

Across Generational Leadership - Building Generational IQ is an interactive workshop designed to empower collaboration and break-down generational tensions and misunderstandings. Across Generational Leadership - Building Generational IQ will equip you with leadership techniques that connects and unifies you and your team. When we are born shapes how we see the world and how we interact with the world. When we understand the “why” other generations see and think the way they do, we are much more likely to appreciate their differences and beginning listening and speaking in a language they can understand.

Today, educational leaders need to find the balance between appreciating the unique contributions of each team member and owning the capacity as a leader. By embracing the multi-generational teacher workforce and preparing your leaders appropriately, you will not only produce higher engagement and performance, but you will also begin to attract the best teachers of all ages. We will unpack the keys to winning across generations: Communication, Decision Making, Language, Loyalty, Relationships, Employment, Expectations and much more…

Session 3 - Leading High Performing Teams (Blurb)

As a leader, your job is to enable your team to thrive. Building and leading a high performing team demands that you know the nuances, personality styles, leadership styles and strengths of each of your team members. Leading High Performing Teams is a workshop designed to equip you with the keys to unlocking and building your own dream team by profiling you and your team against the leadership styles and requisites of other high performing teams.

To many leadership teams are created by default, not design. This workshop will share with you the art of knowing and positioning your team members in the right places, with the right tools, to enable you and your team(s) to reach their full potential.

Marshall Diggs (Blurb)

To go above and beyond so that people feel cared for as a whole person.

Marshall has a background as a teacher mentor, principal, community leader and keynote speaker. Marshall’s role as Director at the Growth Culture Leadership Academy perfectly combines his passion for teaching and inspiring educators, with his strengths in leadership, coaching and mentoring.

He has a wealth of experience providing transformative education training in the areas of effective leadership, culture-building, innovation, strategy and solutions for leaders, and innovative teaching practice. His strengths include effective communication, creating positive relationships, building relational trust, and developing effective teams.

Marshall is deeply committed to supporting schools in crafting leadership pathways as well as training and equipping leaders, to enable them to create cultures where everyone can thrive. Marshall enjoys reading widely, keeping up to date with the latest trends and developments in education, as well as story-time and adventures his wife and his four spirited children.
