Welcome to part 2 of the 4-part series, the Build to Last workshop series. During each episode in this series, we’re going to be digging into specific areas that will uplevel and give you the confidence, decision-making skills, and practical strategies and mindsets for your center from the field of play.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Jo David, a director who is a member of the Director’s Inner Circle and is a time blocking practitioner. Jo shares with us strategies of how to work on calendars that serve us. As leaders, understanding where our time goes is a sensitive leadership drill and when we believe that we must always be available, we underperform, we over-index, we get overwhelmed, and we feel stressed out. Stay tuned for a mind-boggling session as we discuss stimulating information on building a calendar that serves us and helps us to design priorities that we need to continue building our legacy with our school culture.

 

In a nutshell, we talk about:

• The 3 myths of the  school leaders' time - why they're myths and busting them
• Drafting out your theme days
• Unmuting rejection to unmute helping hands
• The skill of time blocking and theme days
• Delegating out things that aren't helping your center 
• Investing time to train your staff to avoid survival mode

                …and so much more!
