    Leadership in Education

    Darren Cox is the school Principal for St Philips Christian school based in Cessnock, New South Wales In his LinkedIn profile, Darren refers to himself as a motivational speaker, educational influencer, and a strategic change manager! He was also in the top 5 for Principal of the year in 2019 Apart from his extensive experience in education, Darren has extensive experience in podcasting, video shoots and is regularly requested to speak on stage with a range of educational and other organisations.  When you meet and connect with Darren, you'll understand why Facilitating a podcast with Darren was an absolute pleasure.  He made my job very easy Darren had started to prepare his school for 'flexible education' quite some time before the recent COVID incident.  So, during the recent lockdown his school was more than prepared, and his staff and students thrived in their own individual virtual environments. Right now, Darren is preparing the school for the future.  This looks like a blended system of classroom/synchronous virtual/asynchronous training to allow for the best education opportunity.  The schools' students and their futures In the podcast we covered: Leadership – leading the teaching-learning Well-being Communication If you want more information about Darren's blended education process feel free to reach out to him on LinkedIn.

    Leading in Times of Crisis in Healthcare

    I had recently Stephanie Bowman and Reta Clyde as guests on one of the most impactful [and timely!] podcasts in the series to date! HCA Healthcare [www.hcahealtcare.com] was founded in the USA in 1968. They have 280,000 staff with hospital facilities in 20 states. The organisation is committed to the care and improvement of human life. Stephanie Bowman is the Director of Organisational Development, and Reta Clyde is the National Group Senior Leadership Training Specialist. HCA Healthcare have been a VitalSmarts customer for more than 10 years. With 9500 Charge Nurses alone, the task of training and developing the organisation is massive! HCA invest well in the people. A big part of Stephanie's and Reta's roles is to use Crucial Conversations training to give the people a framework and a vernacular - to help humanise people as well as conversations! Their ongoing work in developing people at all levels within the organisation continues to pay real dividends. They witness their teams across the organisation having real confidence in their leaders, and more importantly also in their senior executives. In the current crisis, their leaders are all seen moreso than ever to be doing the right thing! Thanks for joining us and we hope you enjoyed learning about the power of being productive on purpose.

    Leadership and Vulnerability

    I had a very engaging conversation with Anna Ranaldo. Anna is a Brene Brown Thought leader as well is a certified 'Dare to Lead' facilitator. She is currently working extensively with corporations, organisations, education etc across Australia and New Zealand.  Anna has an extensive organisational development/HR background across global organisations like Santos, PWC and Shell. Her specialty is helping organisations to navigate change. Anna is also a certified Crucial Conversations trainer I loved how Anna weaves in her extensive Crucial Conversations experience around her work in helping leaders to create psychological safety. She referred to trust as the bedrock of true vulnerability Anna's work around 'Dare to Lead' is currently helping leaders in all industries to not only 'show up' as the leaders they should be, but also how to really 'lean in when situations get tough when they need to be powerful, not powerless' Inside this episode you'll learn about: Vulnerability and why is it an accurate measure of change why 'clear is kind 'and what that looks like Enabling high-quality trust How creating safety is pivotal to vulnerability Why leaders need to remove their 'armour' and 'lean in' to tough situations To find out more about how VitalSmarts can help you create a culture of speaking up visit vitalsmarts.com.au and click 'I need help now'.
