Virtual K-12 Team Workshop: Compassionate Leadership

This workshop will help cultivate interpersonal skills such as compassionate leadership to develop high-performing district leaders.

Research shows that being a compassionate leader is vital for effective leadership. Unfortunately, this skill is often overlooked in formal training for school and district leaders in their roles.

In our continuous pursuit to support our districts in fostering a culture of empathy and high-performing leadership, EAB is thrilled to announce an opportunity for district leaders to bring an expert-led workshop on “Compassionate Leadership” to their districts. This session is designed to empower school and district leaders with valuable insights and practical strategies that add action to empathy, aiming to enhance leadership skills and contribute to a more positive and collaborative district culture.

  • Harnessing Disagreement to Grow Connection: Explore techniques to turn disagreements into catalysts for stronger connections and a positive campus culture.
