Impact Conference NOV. 4-7, 2025 | Featuring Mel Robbins, James Patterson, and more | Complimentary | Virtual
Before the school year ends, join a premier leadership workshop for principals and educational leaders. This inspiring and rigorous training challenges school principals, administrators and owners to adopt a leadership paradigm of release, not control.
The workshop focuses on practical skills and tools they can apply immediately in their schools, enabling them to align school systems with a shared school vision, unleash staff talent, and become truly great leaders. This will be a blended learning workshop with an on-demand course and live online sessions.
The Challenge
The challenges facing principals have never been greater. In addition to being instructional leaders and effective building managers, principals must keep up with technology, standards, and rapidly-changing demands on schools. But effective leadership is possible. By learning practical skills based on timeless principles, you can cut through the clutter of today’s education environment and engage the best in all stakeholders.
The Solution
During the Leader in Me Principal’s Academy blended learning course, you will be introduced to the Whole-Person Paradigm—a foundation for effective leadership—and the 4 Roles of Great Leaders™: Modeling, Pathfinding, Aligning, and Empowering. You will assess your own strengths and areas of improvement. You will learn how to use and apply powerful leadership tools, such as the 4 Disciplines of Execution®, to address chronic problems faced by their schools, with time to lay a framework to implement these leadership skills upon returning to their schools.
Together Is Better Most principals feel that they have far too few opportunities to connect with other principals and learn together. Experts agree that principals need strong peer-support networks. The Leader in Me Principal’s Academy is designed to foster collaboration and best-practice sharing. Participants won’t just listen to a presenter but will actively participate in a learning cycle with other principals that includes opportunities for practice and reflection, which will hone leadership skills.
The Learning Outcomes
Principals will be able to:
Adopt a paradigm of release, not control.
Collaborate with other local principals.
Align school systems and processes.
Establish a shared school vision among staff.
Engage staff members and unleash talent.
