Looking forward to this webinar as the final lecture of the mentoring &coaching module. Should be an interesting one #pdsl #leadership @jemjemlynch @patriciamannixm @niamhickey @Leaders_SoE

Coming to the end of the Coaching & Mentoring module, this resonated with me. If we are successful in our our future leadership roles, this is the optimal outcome. Helping our colleagues achieve their full potential through strength based coaching and active listening.

[Keith McClean @MccleanKeith]

Courage requires two very different but extremely important skills. The key is knowing when to implement the correct approach. These skills can only be developed by actively engaging in the process. @patriciamannixm @niamhickey @Leaders_SoE #pdsl #leadership

[Keith McClean @MccleanKeith]

LaTonya Wilkins & Rob Carucci highlighted the importance of Self-awareness and reflection. We need need to know what is beneath the surface of our own bias when building relationships with people different to ourselves. @patriciamannixm @niamhickey @Leaders_SoE #pdsl #leadership

[Keith McClean @MccleanKeith]

Thoroughly enjoyed the tutorial this evening discussing the idea of Strength based conversations. Inspiring to hear other teachers share their personal stories and reflect on my own. @misskmaye @patriciamannixm @niamhickey #pdsl #leadership

[Keith McClean @MccleanKeith]

Excellent quote about establishing positive relationships in a hostile workplace. Re-emphasising the importance of challenging negative behaviours and building positive, trusting relationships through Conversational Intelligence. @patriciamannixm @niamhickey @Leaders_SoE #pdsl

Important to build on strengths, not to focus on weaknesses #pdsl #leadership @Leaders_SoE @patriciamannixm @niamhickey

Leading from the front. Started the club 12 years ago and have coached & mentored students from day 1 to become black belt National, European and World Champion's. This experience has been invaluable in my professional career as a teacher @patriciamannixm @niamhickey #pdsl

[Keith McClean @MccleanKeith]

Excellent Ted Talk by Kwame Christian on Finding Confidence in Conflict. Simple yet effective examples on how to better handle difficult conversations. The idea of engaging in Compassionate Curiosity resonated with me. @patriciamannixm @niamhickey @Leaders_SoE #pdsl #leadership

[Jennie Kirwan @KirwanJennie]

Love this @kilgarriff91 Very clear difference #leadership #pdsl @patriciamannixm @niamhickey @misskmaye @Leaders_SoE

[Keith McClean @MccleanKeith]

@earls_pdsl @patriciamannixm @niamhickey @PDST_leadership I completed two days of Droichead training last week. I am looking forward to the professional conversations and what I will learn along the way🙂

[Keith McClean @MccleanKeith]

Interesting articles, videos and discussions about the importance of delivering & receiving feedback. No one will be more critical of you, than you are of yourself! @patriciamannixm @niamhickey @Leaders_SoE #pdsl

[Jennie Kirwan @KirwanJennie]

Really enjoyed our discussions on school culture and difficult conversations last night. @DrBradJohnson sums it up wisely. @patriciamannixm @misskmaye @niamhickey #pdsl #leadership
