Know Your Leadership. Grow Your School T3

Presented by Critical Agendas

Sunday, August 9, 2026¡11:30 PM

This a webinar for school leaders designed to help them honestly assess the health of their leadership culture before committing to a professional development plan. The session draws from three common leadership tensions in schools: middle leaders struggling with the transition from teaching to leading; senior teams that appear aligned but are relationally disconnected; and capable educators who haven’t found their leadership voice, leaving school culture reactive rather than purposeful. The webinar introduces DISCFlow Leadership Profiling, a behavioural framework that helps leaders understand their own communication style and decision-making tendencies whether they’re driven by results, relationships, harmony, or precision and how to adapt their approach to reduce conflict and build influence. Takeaways include a framework for understanding leadership behaviour, strategies for improving team communication and trust, insight into what’s holding the culture back, and a foundation for a tailored professional development plan. The webinar is aimed at principals, deputies, heads of department and aspiring leaders. Nelson is the founder of Coached by Nelson, a leadership consultancy dedicated to developing confident, capable leaders. With over 20 years of experience in education, including his current role as Deputy Principal at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, he understands the nuances of leading people-centered organisations. As a Growth Coaching International Accredited Coach and DISCFlow Certified Trainer, Nelson uses evidence-based methods to: • Strengthen leadership capability. • Improve staff performance and productivity. • Foster a sustainable culture of workplace wellbeing. Whether working with emerging leaders or experienced executives, Nelson’s mission remains the same, which is to develop skilled, informed and confident leaders who make a lasting difference.

Inspirational Speakers – the knowledge gained will be so beneficial in my classrooms Classroom Dynamics – the latest strategies and solutions to positive classroom management – Glen Pearsall I really enjoyed the small group size. The sessions were interactive and we not only saw Glenn demonstrate how he would use strategies himself but we heard from other educators on their challenges and thoughts and also saw video examples from other schools. I find this multi modal style of presentation much more engaging. It was also appreciated to have a copy of the book to take back to school and access to the online platform. “AI Skills for Busy School Admin Teams by Tracy Anthony & Dennis Wollersheim” I have already enhanced my skills over the past week – been able to interact with AI program to redraft, poli
