About this session

Adam opens the day with the question every leader carries: how do we hold people to high standards without holding them at arm's length? Expect stories from Australian schools, a few uncomfortable truths and one idea to take into every room today.

A shared language for leadership that sustains both high expectations and genuine care.

A moment to reflect

What is one thing from this morning that you want to still be true in your school next term?

Room discussion

  • Melissa Hart · Albury High School

    The framing of expectations as care just reframed a conversation we have been stuck in for a term.

  • Marcus Webb · Darwin Middle School

    Taking the "absorbing pressure" idea straight into our executive meeting next week.

Sample discussion. The wider event conversation lives in Community.
