The needs of 21st Century learners are unique, and students are being prepared for a world that is almost unrecognisable from the one many teachers were trained for. While some schools try to meet new challenges with the same stale tactics, others are recognising the need to adapt and embrace the changes necessary to help students thrive today and in the future.
If your school recognises the need for a new kind of leadership to take your school into the future with confidence, this workshop is for you. It is designed to give your leaders the skills, strategies and tools they need for your school to succeed in a new world of challenges and opportunities.

I’m passionate about creating schools that motivate, engage and empower 21st Century Learners for their future. I founded Think Strategic with this in mind. After many successful years leading schools I wanted to give more, so I designed a global enterprise to work with schools and school leaders around the world using 21st Century Leadership behaviours, systems thinking, drivers of change, future trends and sustainability tools to create and implement innovative strategic plans to take schools successfully into the future.
