This insight underscores the importance of nurturing not just opportunities for young people to lead but also their self-perception as leaders. Programs that encourage youth to develop this leader identity and engage in positive leadership roles can have a profound impact on their future. #LeadershipDevelopment #FutureLeaders #Leadership

Great leaders don’t just lead—they build up others to lead alongside them. By cultivating leadership across the whole school community, empowering potential leaders, and fostering trust within teams, they create lasting impact.

In the dynamic world of community associations, effective leadership is crucial. But traditional top-down approaches in leadership often fall short. Incorporating effective everyday mentorship in your leadership efforts provides continuous support, guidance, and development opportunities. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ek-9inEF

Here's a term that I haven't heard for awhile--the Pygmalion effect, which emphasizes that teams (certainly applies to other circumstances, as well) typically rise to meet or exceed the performance expectations of their leadership. It's interesting that a meta-analysis showed that the greatest impact of leadership development programs resulted from Pygmalian leadership training.

Really looking forward to this highly recommended Leadership Training in September. It covers all things surrounding racial healing, which unfortunately is too often overlooked or under acknowledged in many familial and organisational settings. It is my mission to create safer spaces to honestly talk about subjects that are difficult to broach, due to their potential deep emotional triggers. My goal is to build communities with developed listening skills who can be compasionately present and dynamic as a common practice. In educational settings non-evaluation listening skills are needed for all key stakeholders: children/students, parents and teachers/executives. Racialisation is one of the unspoken predominant lenses that we are subconsciously taught to use to view and interact with the world. Are you courageous enough to come to the Table to Talk about this in your community?

Showing Up For Me Typically, I’m behind the scenes of conferences like UNITED: The National Conference on School Leadership. But, true to my position of associate executive director of Professional Learning at National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP), I highly value opportunities to learn from other conferences, especially their speakers. I see it as showing up for myself.   Recently, I had the opportunity to attend an ASAE: The Center for Association Leadership conference where I heard from many inspirational speakers. Four in particular—Amanda G., Adam Kinzinger, Andre Norman, and Marli Williams—stood out to me. Their messages proved powerful in my own professional learning during that conference, leaving an impact on me that still hasn’t faded. I wanted to share some of my takeaways with school leaders. Here’s a little snippet from each speaker that I hope you’ll hold close to you as you settle in to a new school year.   Gorman encouraged attendees to look for common ground as you respect differences, saying, “Find the people who are different and see if there’s something that connects you.”   Kinzinger said that one of the greatest leadership characteristics you can have is to always tell the truth. “If you can’t stand in front of them as leaders and tell them the truth, then how do they get to the right spot,” he told attendees.   Norman’s personal experiences have helped him empower people to have authentic, unvarnished conversations that drive change effectively and advance social justice. He left his audience with two parting thoughts: "Don’t jump over our own to save someone else," and "Don’t judge me; just call me."   Williams tells us to make play a priority. Ask yourself, “What am I doing for fun this weekend?” That is an example of you showing up for you.    Read the rest of my blog post, part of National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP)’s Lessons in School Leadership series on the NAESP website: https://lnkd.in/gaFfKQnW

Is your child a leader? 🎯 A recent study reveals that kids who think of themselves as leaders are more likely to grow up to actually be leaders. “...there is benefit in focusing not only on having young people take on leadership roles, but in encouraging youth to develop leader identity – to see themselves as embodying good and effective leadership.” That’s exactly what we do at LeadYouth. #youth #future #leadership

From Mountains to Mentorship: Unveiling the Teachability of Leadership https://lnkd.in/dSEBG2B8

Pursuing professional development outside of work has always been important to me. And I've been lucky to be surrounded by amazing people who have advocated for me, recommended new programs and supported my growth. However, there's been one outstanding program that has opened up all kinds of doors for me - CivicAction's DiverseCity Fellowship Program. Here's why: 📈 Leadership Development: The program gives access to C-level mentorship opportunities, equipping fellows with the skills and knowledge needed to expand their influence at work. 👯 Network Expansion: Ever heard the saying "your network is your net-worth" ? Well, that's never been truer than with this program. No matter what industry you work in, there's something for you. I learned from architects, lawyers, public health professionals and even other PR leaders. 🌟 Impact and Contribution: If there's a challenge you're having at work or a project you're passionate about advancing, this program will give you the tools and resources to dismantle systemic barriers and find new and innovative ways to problem solve. This is my long-winded way of saying that applications for the 2025 Program are OPEN and due October 4. If you're wondering whether you should apply, reach out! Happy to convince anyone willing to take the leap. https://lnkd.in/g8QEHGmK

Did you know that leader development starts way before adulthood? Research tracking individuals ages 12 to 38 reveals that holding leadership roles in high school doesn’t guarantee becoming a leader later on, but having a solid leader identity does. This means seeing yourself as a leader is crucial for holding leadership roles in your 20s and 30s. Encouraging young people to see themselves as leaders can significantly shape their future. Local programmes that mentor youth to take on leadership roles and see themselves as community leaders are making a real impact. Let’s rethink how we nurture the leaders of tomorrow. #Leadership #YouthDevelopment #FutureLeaders #Coach #Coaching
