This series of three workshops will explore how you can cultivate resilience at individual, organisational and partnership levels and will provide you with practices and tools to be shared within your teams.
“These past few years have been like no other for all of us, universally. We now know the world to be far more unstable and uncertain than we ever realised. It has become part of our collective shared humanity.”
“The scars in the world’s education system as a result of this year go deep but at the same time we have a once in a life time opportunity to both recover, renew and reimagine our schools, and create a COVID legacy that will have a lasting positive impact.”
“There is evidence that the more connected a system is, the more it is able to withstand shock, recover well, and cultivate collaborative resilience. Our resilience as individuals, schools and as partnerships will therefore be central to our journey through, and beyond the COVID-19 era.”
Speaker:
Maggie has worked as a school leader in London and in Birmingham. She was the Director of Leadership Development and Research at the National College for School Leadership and interim Chief Executive. Since training as a mindfulness teacher with the OMC her work has focused on the ‘inner life of leaders’ and the power and potential of mindfulness practices to transform schools.
