We are in a challenging time when leadership matters more than ever. How can leaders show up as their best selves to support their principals, teachers, students and their families?
Each day of the conference will feature one of the best, most sought after presenters we have in the US. Our conference is usually held each summer at Rice University, but this year we will host the conference online.
Join us virtually for one or more days this summer to receive incredible professional development, network with leaders from all over Texas and beyond, and become more prepared to lead your stakeholders than ever before.

All events are live with the presenter each day with consistent breakout rooms for activities, collaboration, and timely breaks during the day to let you get that next cup of coffee or snack, and an hour for lunch. No sit and get!
We will begin at 9:00 am and end no later than 3:30 pm each day. We will provide virtual breakout rooms after each day for participants to stay and collaborate if they wish.

Monday, June 8, 2020 Dr. Adam Saenz -Strength Through Crisis--How to Identify and Nurture Wellbeing in Five Core Areas of Life
How does Crisis impact my body? My finances? My relationships? My career? Facing these difficult questions can leave us feeling physically weak, emotionally vulnerable, and lacking in hope. Our attempts to navigate from the chaos of crisis into a new normal is a process that has the potential to deplete all areas of our lives.
The good news is that not only is personal balance and strength attainable -- even in and through crisis--but as we nurture it, we will find ourselves maximizing our impact in our scope of influence.
This session guides participants through the five areas of well-being: physical, occupational, emotional, financial, and spiritual. Not only does the workshop empoer participants with mandate for self-care, but it also offers a template with practical, actionable strategies to achieve and maintain wellness in each of the five core areas of well-being.
One of the most loving things we can do for those depending on us is to offer them the best version of ourselves.
Come. Nurture wellness. Grow strength.
Tuesday, June 9, 2020 Dr. Adam Saenz -Returning From COVID-19: The Art and Science of Emotionally Intelligent Leadership
Our students will experience a wide range of emotion as they return from the major disruption caused by COVID-19: excitement, relief, anxiety, anger, sadness and confusion. So will our faculty and staff. So, will you. The disruption we are experiencing presents a golden opportunity for applied Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) skills, and the research is clear: effective SEL starts with adult SEL. This workshop explores practical strategies school leaders can implement to live and model the SEL skills we will need to thrive through this time of change, emphasizing personal self-awareness and self-regulation.
Have you evaluated how the strengths, liabilities, fears, and biases associated with your personality will help and hurt your leadership capacities in the return to school? Have you identified specific relational stress and task stress and created coping strategies that keep a toxic culture from taking root? Answering these questions involves heavy emotional lifting, but the rewards are compelling. Emotionally intelligent leaders are far more relationally effective and professionally sustainable, and they report deeper overall life satisfaction than leaders who shy away from this important inner work. In sum, the most effective SEL intervention for every student is an adult living a life of emotional intelligence.
Wednesday, June 10, 2020 Angela Maiers - The Brave Leader: Bringing Courage into Practice
For centuries bravery has been a crucible of leadership and a fundamental principle for battle of any type and kind. This has never been truer than today during the pandemic.
But, what does BRAVE look like?
How does BRAVE act and behave?
And most importantly how big can YOUR BRAVE be?
This presentation seeks to answer these questions by putting these elusive concepts of leadership and learning in place to deliver better results faster for you and to those you seek to lead and serve.
Your mission is sacred. The world is hungry for people to step onto their power to affect change. It is by daring to act with the courage we wish to see more of that we grow our capacity for influence and amplify our impact in the world. Let's not wait another second!

Consequently, district and school leaders are scrambling to maintain some level of continuity for their students while in the midst of uncertainty about when and how schools will reopen.

Friday, June 12, 2020 Dr. Anthony Muhammad - Time for Change! The Four Skills of a Transformational Leader School and District Leader
A leader who understands how to motivate, develop talent, and build consensus is worth his/her weight in gold. Leaders who understand 2020 and the pandemic have created an era of constant change that requires leaders who understand the development and support of human capital.
This session will address the importance of transformational leadership, which is likely more important today than ever. School culture provides the context for all good strategies. We will examine four leadership competencies; communication, trust building, professional support, and accountability.
