All Improvement Requires Change, Not all Change is an Improvement
April 27, 2023
All Improvement Requires Change, Not all Change is an Improvement
Leadership requires change management. Whether it’s intentional or not, leaders will spend most of their time managing change. It could be driven by state mandates, board elections, or local community issues. Successfully managing change is what will separate a great leader from a mediocre or underperforming leader. If navigated properly, it can create a win-win environment. Unfortunately, that is rarely the case. School leaders get thrust into the change process and often do more damage than good. All improvement requires change, but not all change is an improvement. What happens when change initiatives go wrong? Outcomes don’t improve as intended, staff members become frustrated, leaders are weakened, and the culture of cynicism begins to develop making future change initiatives that much more difficult. “This too shall pass” becomes the motto of the day and now even the most promising initiatives will struggle to gain traction.

Unlocking Human Potential: The Power of Story to Build Resilience, Character, Trust and Transparency
September 24, 2025
Unlocking Human Potential: The Power of Story to Build Resilience, Character, Trust and Transparency
This experience, led by Rebecca Francis and Devon LaRosa, is designed for educators and educational leaders who seek to deepen their impact by leading with authenticity, empathy, and intentionality. At its core, "Unlocking Human Potential" recognizes that storytelling is one of the most powerful tools we possess to humanize education and re-center connection in a system that too often prioritizes compliance over compassion.
Through storytelling, we move beyond transactional interactions and into transformational relationships. Stories invite us to name our struggles, celebrate our resilience, and embrace the complex, beautiful work of becoming. When educators and leaders share stories—of growth, challenge, identity, and change—we open the door for:
Resilience to take root in our school cultures,
Character to be modeled and nurtured in real, human ways,
Trust to be built authentically, not assumed,
And transparency to become a cultural norm, not an exception.
This session offers more than theory—it offers space. Space to reflect, to tell truth, to listen deeply, and to grow. It is an invitation to recognize the stories we carry and the stories our students and colleagues carry, and to use those narratives as bridges—toward belonging, equity, and possibility.
Because when we share our stories, we don’t just build community—we unlock human potential.
