"The culture & cultures of an organisation affect who stays, who leaves and how we deal with each other"(Riddle, 2018). What changes can we personally aďopt to make others feel like they'd rather be on our team? @JacquelineJord@niamhickey @patriciamannixm #pdsl@Leaders_SoE
"Successful new leaders are guided by a sense of importance rather than urgency" (Moreno, 2021). Thinking of the value of coaching as means to identfying what is important and successful leadership #pdsl@JacquelineJord@NiamhHickey @patriciamannixm @Leaders_SoE
"It can take between five and seven years for principals to drive school improvement'(Fullan, 2001). Have I afforded leaders sufficient time to effect change or judged their leadership prematurely given my own desire for urgent change?#pdsl@Leaders_SoE@jacquelinejord
"How can you change someone else's mind when you don't know where their mind is?" (William Ury). Reflecting on how often I have tried to change the minds of others by sharing where MY mind is! @JacquelineJord @patriciamannixm @niamhickey@Leaders_SoE#pdsl#leadership
"Enabling change in others must start with understanding and managing change in onself" (Wales, 2002). Words worth remembering and acting upon in all areas of our lives! @patriciamannixm @niamhickey@JacquelineJord@Leaders_SoE#pdsl#leaders
Thinking about organisational culture as "the way we do things around here" (Mannix-McNamara et al., 2021) and how I contribute to maintaining a cultural status quo -Can I contribute to a cultural shift? Food for thought!@patriciamannixm @niamhickey@JacquelineJord@Leaders_SoE

We may feel that we can’t afford the time it takes to truly listen because more “immediate” needs are ever-present. I propose that we can’t afford NOT to listen. #pdsl#leadership @patriciamannixm @niamhickey@JacquelineJord@Leaders_SoE
"If you want to change a school culture you have to change how you speak, change how you think & change how you act" Thought provoking quote from @patriciamannixm #leadership#PDSL@niamhickey@Leaders_SoE
“Coaching provides an avenue for reflective practice” (Bulter 2019) As well as developing personal skills such as effective listening and asking powerful questions…what’s not to love? Sign me up! #pdsl @patriciamannixm @niamhickey@JacquelineJord@Leaders_SoE
Coaching is a partnership between a coach and the coachee(s), whereby each has specific roles to play. However, both sides of the coaching partnership are equally responsible for building a trusting, caring, respectful, and safe environment. #pgsl#leadership@Leaders_SoE
To be a successful leader & coach one must practice the skill of simply listening! “Listening is the missing half of communication, absolutely necessary but often overlooked” William Ury @niamhickey@Leaders_SoE@JacquelineJord#pdsl@WilliamUryGTY @patriciamannixm
A lack of self-awareness in relation to our behaviour towards others is extremely prevalent in those who do not make a conscious effort to get to know themselves. Self-awareness lessens the gap between how we see ourselves and how others see us.
Appreciating the positive impact of effective listening on leadership and qhat we can learn from the business world. #pdsl#leadership @patriciamannixm @hiamhickey @Leaders_SoE@JacquelineJord
