Join Drs. Renee Owen and Christine Mason as they discuss their new book, Becoming a Transformative Leader from the Inside Out to be released on Nov. 27. Owen and Mason will present the basics of transformative leadership in education, beginning with an initial session on values and your own internal transformation. The second sessions will focus on relationships, communication, and developing others. The last session will center on effecting social change, including tips on measuring progress, and considerations for visioning and the future of education.

Learn about ways to meet the demands placed on school leaders during this VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) era, complete with examples from schools and districts across America. Based on neuroscience, holistic thinking, and systems theory, Owen and Mason take ideas from Peter Senge and apply them in the context of issues facing schools today. You will learn about the science of belonging, and asked to consider the wisdom of an Indigenous Worldview, given tools for self-reflection, guided through mindfulness leadership exercises, and helped to see your blind spots. Each session will include concrete examples from implementation in k-12 schools with ideas for developing group learning, including rituals to help improve the cohesion and well-being of staff and students in your schools.

Participants attending all 3 sessions will get CEI’s Transformative Leadership Certificate. Relevant for aspiring, new, and seasoned leaders, these sessions will be offered at no charge for educators providing evidence of purchasing our book. During these sessions, Drs. Owen and Mason will be offering follow-up Q&A and coaching sessions for participants who are interested in a deeper dive and/or have specific questions about their own situations.
