8:45-10:15 Ken Shelton & Thomas Murray: Bold & Courageous Leadership--It All Starts With You
What separates "leaders" from those who lead? As a school leader, are you walking in and towards your purpose? Do you have a reliable awareness of the true culture of your school system? This session will help leaders explore their own personal WHY, connect their passion to their work, and empower those around them to rise up and lead. Leaders must understand that in order to have an equitable and inclusive culture, you must first be an equitable and inclusive person. Today's modern learners need bold leaders who model the way and create a culture of inclusivity, and you are part of the solution.

Coping with the emotion building up from the weight of the unknown calls on us to look within ourselves to examine our own thoughts, feelings, and actions. What does it take to "show up" when you can't predict or control the outcome? The short and long answer is" it takes courage. The courage to BE YOU! In this session, we will take a deep dive into the core SEL competencies of self-awareness and self-management to become better equipped to navigate the complexities of a new normal. Rest assured" the wisdom lives within.
