But only 1 in 4 leaders do this well. This is why we need more deeply human leaders.

To motivate employees and enable organisations to shift from merely surviving to sustainably thriving in this new normal, there is a need to solve problems and create new strategies from a human angle.

In the last 500 days, our lives and work has changed dramatically. We still face volatility and uncertainty, and many people are tired, even languishing. Remote working as the new reality makes effective collaboration more crucial than ever.

What does all this mean for leaders, and how they lead their teams?

How can leaders balance support and challenge within their teams to create both psychological safety and high performance?

How do we move out of the comfort zone and create new ways of leading?

Join us in a panel discussion as we shed light on what we need from leaders in the next 12 months.

How is play being utilised in play therapy? When children play, do you observe them and make sense of their developmental progress and emotions?

More than just about everyday play sessions, play therapy is an intentional way for trained therapists to observe children and see meaning to their play, rather than brush it off as a trivial activity.

Adults too, can benefit from play therapy as a healing modality to discover themselves better. Find out how we can use play therapy to help children and ourselves!

In this session, discover:

1. How play shaped our behavior when we were younger, and affects us in how we perceive the world ­– whether we see it as a fun or stressful place.
   ‍
2. How to use play in a more intentional and informed way, to observe and understand how children use play to relate to themselves and others.
   ‍
3. The hidden benefits of play, and how play therapy can be used for healing, expression and self-discovery.

Move past the social media myths and misunderstandings about Growth Mindsets and discover how to make an enduring difference to your students' learning.

In this masterclass, you will explore the Mindset Continuum, gaining new insights and a powerful toolkit of classroom strategies that will develop your students' Mindsets.

Professor Carol Dweck has spent a large part of her career demonstrating the critical importance of a Growth Mindset in student learning and achievement. She has shown how our Mindset guides our responses to challenges, mistakes, the development of our abilities, and whether we are open to feedback.

Over the past few years, schools have rushed to embrace her research... with mixed results.

In this powerful workshop, you will discover why so many of our current school-based Growth Mindset interventions have failed. Most importantly, you will discover how to implement strategies that work!

What is Learnership?

Think of Learnership in the same way as you'd think about leadership, or craftmanship. It denotes a degree of skilfulness. Learnership is the skill of learning.

As an experienced teacher you've honed your craft over many years. You know how to teach and you're good at it. But quality teaching isn't always enough.

Too many of our students are passive learners. The wait to be lead through the learning process. They are satisfied with the immediate gratification of completion, rather than the long-term benefit of challenge. Many students lack an understanding of how they learn, much less what it means to be an effective skilful learner.

Ultimately learning is the product of what the teachers does AND what the learner does. If our students aren't engaging effectively in the learning process, then even the best teachers face an uphill battle!

For example, how many times have you given students carefully crafted formative feedback, only to have it ignored by the students? And how many of your students wait for you to find their mistakes and then wait again for you to show them how to fix them instead of doing that work for themselves?

The Learnership Matrix describes six different types of learners. In this series of workshops, use the Learnership Diagnostic Tool to identify the type of learners you have in your classroom, and then learn how to guide your students in becoming more skilful learners.
