Let’s be real ... conflict happens. Whether it’s a heated workplace moment, a frustrated parent, or someone cutting you off in traffic, the way you respond can either fuel the fire or cool it down. This workshop isn’t about being a pushover. It’s about staying calm, keeping your power, and actually walking away with your dignity (and sanity) intact. Think of it as brain fitness training for high-stress moments.

Here’s what you’ll take away:

• Practical strategies to de-escalate tense situations fast
• Communication skills that shift chaos into clarity
• Confidence boosters so you stay grounded even when things get loud
• Self-care tools to recharge after crisis moments (because your brain and body deserve TLC too)
• A little humor, because sometimes the best way to keep calm is to laugh at the absurdity of it all

Whether you’re a teacher, leader, or frontline professional, this workshop gives you the skills to protect your peace and empower the people around you.

Facilitated by Shannon Helgeson and Ross Herdina of Agile Ideas Leadership, this is an opportunity for instructional coaches and educational leaders of all levels of experience, and for those who want to strengthen their facilitation skills.

Peer-to-peer leadership, such as in instructional coaching and peer mentorship, can have a significant impact on student achievement and lead to actual implementation of initiatives and professional development. However, many schools implementing this model discover quickly that peer support roles can be difficult - and even isolating. Topics for this 3-part cohort include: Coaching Conversations and Feedback Models, Facilitating Adult Learners, and Building a Culture of Learning through Transformational Coaching.

By the end of this series, participants will be able to do, know, or understand a) how to establish a coaching system in your organization, b) structured conversation models that drive decision making and create team buy-in, c) feedback systems and culture, d) the power of facilitative leadership, and e) the partner approach to learning and growth.

Participants will have opportunities to share ideas, practice conversational and coaching strategies, increase their professional skills, and establish strong systems that will help your coaching program flourish. Instructional coaches and others who lead teams and give feedback are encouraged to participate.

Audience: Instructional coaches, peer mentors, and others who provide job-embedded feedback and support
