What Really Matters in School Leadership: Lessons from the Field

Part of NCTCA 2026
Friday 6 February 2026·7:45 pm

The last 35 years have gifted our presenter with powerful insights, strategies, stories and practices from leaders who naturally developed deep trust with the people they served. Along the way, he has also learned through his own missteps and mistakes. If you’d like to hear about these lessons in leadership, discuss them with peers, reflect on your own practice and leave with some authentic practices, this session may be of interest to you. Rather than a lecture, this is a collaborative, conversation-based session where participants connect, ask questions, and dig in to what really matters in school leadership. Please come join us! Together we’ll unpack how school leaders can develop trust through character, competence, connection and care. And, and as a bonus, you’ll leave with some Monday-morning-ready practical ideas that can bring clarity, calm and balance to your workload.
