Importance of developing a CEO mentality for principals.
Work-life harmony for long term sustainment in the job.

âWhen I think about working with leaders, the beauty of having this big bird's eye view at the state level, and I would even say at the national level, because I work with leaders at that place as well, is that the commonalities are the same. It doesn't matter if you're in one state or the next. If you're in a smaller district or a bigger district, the need for coaching, the need to have a community that you can lean upon is ever so present in leaders for today. The overall stress of ensuring that we have school communities that work for kids is something that transcends every leader.â

Belief that tough conversations lead to growth and evolution.
âUnless we can have honest conversations with ourselves, with our staff, with our peers, colleagues, I don't think that evolution is there. And eventually, if you don't have tough conversations, you get stuck in a status quo because everybody's just comfortable. And if you want to grow, you want to learn something new, you have to get uncomfortable.â

Kathy Kolbe is an acclaimed theorist, best-selling author and pioneer, Kathy Kolbe was the first to prove the existence of the conative mental faculty, which causes us to act, react and interact. She has spent over 40 years collecting and analyzing conative traits to help us be ourselves. She founded Kolbe Corp, was CEO for 30 Years, and is now its Chairman Emerita. Nicole Loucks is the Vice President of Youth and Education Programs and Director of Training at Kolbe Corp, Nicole has the privilege of working directly with business leaders, educators, and students alike to help them understand their innate strengths and how to utilize them in the ways they care about most. Nicole is passionate about educational advocacy and helping children.
Show Highlights
Take a powerful personal assessment tool to give purpose to your leadership.
Schools don't meet the needs of students with diverse learning styles.
Most teachers lead with Fact Finder or Follow Through modes.
Building on strengths is crucial for better employee performance and relationships.
Conation vs cognition in schools.
Student Aptitude Quiz provides tips and tricks for using strengths productively.
Educators and parents play crucial roles in giving purpose to youth.
Communication possibilities for cognitive conflicts
ââWe're going to change everything.â That's super stressful for a lot of people to hear in the education field. It's all about how to communicate and deliver work collaboratively together with those differences so that you are able to reach that purpose. I don't know any educator who's gone past the first year principal or teacher or assistant who's not there because their purpose is to help kids, but you have to understand their approaches to help. Bottom line, to educators, if your purpose is to help kids learn, I think the first thing they have to help is how they learn. They need to understand themselves and how they learn best. And by helping students learn how they learn and the joy of learning, then they become purposeful in their learning. And then the teacher feels I've accomplished a goal.â

Hannahâs story began in a blue pickup truck at age 12. Sparked by this intro to business by her dad, she went to college early, graduating with her bachelors at 18.
Now, Hannah is the Chief Rebel at dâSkills - a hub where students turbo-charge their passions with AI, then convert them into paid, real-world projects. Chris Lochhead calls her "one of the most important voices in education today" and a school administrator called her "offensive to some."

And if we can find that one part of them to unlock, if we can be that person who helps unlock that potential, then we've done our job. That's our job as educators, as mentors, and as people who inspire kids, is to unlock that one bit of potential. And once they can do that and turbocharge that with AI, they're gonna be unstoppable.â

Where is the Teacher? 12 Shifts for a Student Centered Classroom
Kyle Wagner, the founder of Transform Educational Consulting Limited, has always had a bold mission since he became an educator 15+ years ago: Create transformational learning experiences that connect students' interests and passions to issues that matter in the real world. This bold mission has literally taken him around the world. From the design of living museums, model governments, and engaging project-based experiences as a Humanities Teacher in world renowned High Tech High in San Diego; to co-founding student-led programs and schools as a Program Director in China; Kyle has remained true to that mission, and vowed to share it with others.
His book, The Power of Simple, outlines the simple shifts classrooms and schools can make to allow for these experiences, and the conditions required to ensure they have lasting impact. Kyle currently resides in Hong Kong, where through workshops, coaching, courses and bespoke training, he has now empowered over 1,000 forward thinking educators worldwide to create more socially, globally, and emotionally aware citizens through project-based learning.
Show Highlights
12 shifts for student-centered environments.
The difference between engagement and empowerment in education.
The next step you need to take is to Implementation of inquiry-based learning.
Importance of making small changes in the physical classroom setup.
Formulate a big question to create an inquiry framework designed by students.
Unpack the 3 key factors for motivation.
Create magic with a mindset shift to scaffold learning for students with their own interests.
Classroom transformations through peer-to-peer teaching.
âWith inquiry, it's like when you take your dog off the leash for the first time and you haven't trained them to be off the leash, they're going to run off. But if you've gone through that process of like, âOkay you're going to walk beside me first.â We're going to make sure that when the traffic comes, you're not going to freak out, then you slowly give them more opportunities where they can really formulate their own inquiries. They know what kind of interests are, they know how to ask deeper questions. And that's something that the teacher can support as a facilitator moving from that front of the classroom role.â

Graham Dugoni is the founder and CEO of Yondr. Founded in 2014, Yondr is the pioneer of âphone-free spaces.â The company helps educators, artists, and organizations around the world create distraction-free environments where focus and creativity can flourish in the absence of technology.
Show Highlights
Phone-free spaces and its benefits for students and teachers.
Reduction in behavioral issues and increased student engagement.
Steps to implement phone-free policies in schools, starting with leadership commitment.

Addressing student resistance and creative attempts to bypass new policies.
Importance of clear consequences and consistent enforcement.
Positive changes in school culture and student interactions.
Support from Yonder in policy implementation and community engagement.
âI started the company in 2014 with young people in mind. And ir started from the point of view that smartphones and social media were radically new and there were going to be a lot of unintended consequences, basically, especially for young people. And I thought that it was my generation's responsibility to give them a sense and the experience of what life is like for at least 8 hours a day without that, so they could get perspective on them.
-Graham Dugoni i
âIt always starts with leadership, with someone who says,'I see this problem and how phones and social media are affecting my students and the way they're developing and their focus in the classroom and the way it affects my teachers and their ability to get to feel effective in their environment.' What we do is we come and say, 'Okay, here's how the honor product works. Here's how our program works.' But the most important thing is for you to get the commitment of your community. And that's what we always start with. We start with helping principals or superintendents to get that commitment from their community. That's the community, parents, that's very important, but also teachers and administrators in the school.â
