Staff come to work as “whole people” and as such, supervisors are charged with ensuring staff feel supported in all the parts that make up the whole person, including the body, heart, mind, and spirit. In this session, participants will explore how anxiety affects their leadership along with those they lead and explore strategies for enhancing awareness and managing anxiety in the workplace. Participants will gain valuable insights in recognizing their own anxiety as a potential superpower in the various ways anxiety can manifest itself in the workplace. Participants will also have an opportunity to engage in initial conversations with their colleagues around anxiety and leadership and how they can leverage a strength-based approach to support staff so that they can reach their highest potential.

Technical assistance roles are complex in that they require working with multiple stakeholders simultaneously, from inside your own organization to out in the community. Oftentimes challenges can arise because of the different priorities and viewpoints individuals bring to a situation. In this session, participants will learn to identify, detect and redirect high challenge situations which can derail professionalism, harm morale, and detract from safety; understand why difficult scenarios arise; and redirect towards positive outcomes for all.

“Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence.”-Sheryl Sandberg. How does great leadership really make people better? Ownership and sustainability of quality early childhood practices is an essential focus and outcome now more than ever. In this two-hour virtual training, we will introduce the Leader-Leader model by David Marquet and dive into exploring how to inspire and unlock leadership potential at all levels through the model’s three key pillars: Control, Competence, and Clarity. Participants are welcomed to be intentionally curious to question and discuss common challenges of building capacity in the workforce and discover concrete strategies for implementation of the model within the supervisor role through shared content, reflection, and activities.
