Leadership Series 4: Meetings that Matter | January 22, 2026 | 12:30 PM - 3:30 PM
This series is designed to equip new and emerging leaders with the practical skills and self-awareness needed to lead with confidence, build trust and drive team success. Whether you're a new district administrator, instructional coach, teacher leader, or support staff supervisor, this series focuses on a high-leverage leadership practice to help you grow personally and lead more effectively. Each session blends practical tools, guided reflection, and collaborative discussion to support your growth and impact as a new leader.
Well-run meetings are a powerful tool for team alignment, problem-solving and forward momentum—but too often, they miss the mark. Learn how to design and lead meetings that are purposeful, inclusive and results-driven.
Learn practical structures for opening meetings with clarity, creating effective agendas and using protocols that support focused discussion and clear decision-making. Explore team rituals and practices that help reinforce shared purpose and foster a positive, productive team culture.
