E. Filling Up the Culture Cup
Those who wonder if the glass is half full or half empty are missing the point, the glass is refillable and so is your culture! Join us as we explore ways to continue “pouring” into our staff and teams month by month. Remember, tough times don’t last but tough people do, so as leaders we must never underestimate the investment we make in our people. It’s about connection, motivation and having a little fun! You can’t pour from an empty cup, so let’s refill your own cup so you are ready to be bold and fuel your team in the new year!

F. The EQ-uipped Leader: How to Hack Emotional Intelligence (EQ) to Create an Effective
(and sustainable!) Leadership Team on Your Campus with Adam Saenz
In February 2020, none of us could have imagined how a global pandemic would radically alter life as we knew it. As we journey through 2022, teachers are facing challenges as never before; many who have not left the profession are operating in survival mode. The trickle-up effect means that campus and district-level leaders are under pressure as never before.
The good news is this pressure is developing the beautiful diamond within each of us. Explore how emotional intelligence is the powerful tool that keeps leaders in the sweet spot as they lead others through challenges. Ralph Waldo Emerson put it this way, “The wise person in the storm prays to God not for safety from danger, but for deliverance from fear. It is the storm within which endangers, not the storm without.” As we calm and master the storm within us—our thoughts, feelings, and stress—we become a centered, secure base for those depending on us.
