QELi is delighted to partner with Tracey Ezard to offer the Ferocious Warmth Webinar.

Educational leadership is a daily dance. It requires a healthy balance of head and heart, cognitive and emotional reasoning, people and task focus. Yet the stresses of the complexity present in schools can mean that reflection on and growth in our leadership moves to the bottom of the to-do list. The impact of leadership on school improvement cannot be underestimated. The Ferocious Warmth approach gives leaders an easily accessible framework to guide the skill of using head and heart in duality not polarity. This capability assists leaders to navigate the seeming paradox that leadership requires of us in these complex times: explicit yet empowering, director, yet co-creator, challenging yet creating psychological safety.

WEBINAR OBJECTIVES

This practical session explores:

  • The importance of understanding self in leading others, and then impact of our leadership
  • Where our default behaviours can be both strengths and shadows
  • The impact of out of balance leadership on those we lead, and our improvement journey
  • How unmet need and lack of connection can move us to the extremities of leadership
  • Useful ways to recalibrate back to centre and build an approach of Ferocious Warmth

WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE

The webinar is suitable for Teachers and leaders in all phases of education.
