Never settle for any toxic, fear-based organization.
It’s not good for your professional development, health, and energy; there are many options out there; take advantage of them because you deserve to work in an environment that helps you become the best version of yourself.

[M Uí Bhreandáin @BrandonMarian]

As leaders you cannot underestimate the power of valuing the efforts of others. Taking the time to acknowledge the hard work of your team will reap benefits for the entire community #pdsl @patriciamannixm @niamhickey @Leaders_SoE

A person who feels appreciated will always do more than what is expected.

'Conflict-competence is one of the most essential and invaluable skills that a leader can have and use'- Jacinta Kitt. Practice and perseverance enables leaders to facilitate, support & promote a conflict competent climate in schools #pdsl @Leaders_SoE

[Jacinta Kitt @jacinta_kitt]

The need for appreciation/acknowledgement is not a selfish craving for attention, but rather an authentic, deep-seated desire to be valued and deemed as worthy when offering something of worth.
Happy Easter to all in education and beyond!

Excellent podcast with @DeniseMifsud4 and @patriciamannixm & @niamhickey . “Leadership is being out there, trying to bring people together, leading from the ground, and also building a lot on relations.” @Leaders_SoE #pdsl

Leading with empathy & curiosity are key in leadership. By actively listening without judgement, providing feedback in a constructive & supportive manner, & creating a culture of learning we can create a psychologically safe environment. #pdsl #leadership

It is important that the mentoring process is bidirectional, so it is not one-sided. Both parties should have the opportunity to grow personally & professionally! #pdsl

Prior to this module, #pdsl, I would not have considered creating a space for conflict to occur in a constructive way. "Encouraging conflict detoxifies conflict, while suppressing conflict breeds deeper conflict" Bernie Mayer. @patriciamannixm @niamhickey @Leaders_SoE

The CEDAR model gives us a framework for Collaborative Feedback, allowing us to meet people where they are now, have a professional conversation and move forward.

[M Uí Bhreandáin @BrandonMarian]

Seize a situation of conflict as an opportunity to grow and strengthen your personal and professional relationships. Conflict resolution can often create a successful outcome! #pdsl

[Gary Cox @CoxGar1]

@kahneman_daniel describes two ways in which we think. First is fast, intuitive and emotional. Second is slower, deliberative and more logical.

Thinking Slow ⬆️ Listening ⬆️ Connections

Difficult when time is scarce and pressure abundant.

A strong and supportive school culture is characterised by a clear sense of direction, shared vision & shared accountability. This influences how teachers and leaders carry out their duties. It’s based on respect and trust which underpin our learning communities. #pdsl

[M Uí Bhreandáin @BrandonMarian]

Soliciting feedback from our peers and putting structures in place to receive this feedback provides for enriching and powerful insights and learnings about ourselves and how we lead. #pdsl

[Gary Cox @CoxGar1]

Such value in stopping to talk, chat, connect.

Strong culture arises from many overlapping cohesive interactions that spread beliefs and values. Communication and conversations are key to this. @hgse

Wise words from @JonGordon11 indicating the importance of leading with courage, passion and grit which empowers us to become committed and positive leaders @patriciamannixm @niamhickey @Leaders_SoE #pdsl

No matter what anyone says, just SHOW UP and DO THE WORK.

The essence of education is making connections & nurturing relationships. Coaching lends itself to empowering constructive conversations that have the capacity to impact positively on dialogues throughout the school community, leading to new insights & perspectives #pdsl
