Lead Smarter Summit - for any Educational Leaders

Date

Location
Auckland CBD, Auckland

Most of us in leadership roles right now are feeling a bit of whiplash. We’ve spent the last few years reacting to one "unprecedented" event after another, and honestly, the manual on how to do this well is still being written in real-time.
That’s why we have put together the Lead Smarter Summit. It isn't a high-pressure networking event; it’s more of a collective exhale. We’re focusing on four specific areas that seem to be weighing on everyone’s mind right now:
The Internal Compass: Before you can lead a team, you have to be okay with yourself. We’re diving into that "knowing yourself" piece - identifying where your blind spots are before they become your team’s problems.<br>Supporting our Neurodiverse learners: We finally have the language for neurodiversity, but many leaders still don't know how to bridge the gap. We’re talking about how to actually support different thinkers without making it a "checklist" item.<br>Practical tips to use AI in leadership: AI is everywhere, and it can feel like a threat or a chore. We want to look at it as a partner that handles the data so you can get back to the human side of your job.<br>Leading through change: Change isn't a phase anymore; it’s just the environment. We’re sharing honest stories about how to keep a team steady when the ground is moving.<br>If you’re feeling a bit stretched and want to spend a day with people who "get it," we’d love to have you there. Good conversations, learning, meet like minded leaders and have some YOU time!
Suitable for Primary, Secondary and ECE leaders.
