  Five Ways of Being with Gavin Grift
  

  Discover 32 Strategies to Strengthen Your Leadership Skills to Have Maximum Impact

  Are you ready to become a more impactful and inspiring leader? The four-day seminar presented by Gavin Grift delves deeper into the "Five Ways of Being" – a framework for cultivating trust, bravery, compelling presence, purpose, and a growth mindset. This transformative exploration will help you understand how these core levers shape your own leadership story and support you to act upon your discoveries.

  The four-day seminar goes beyond theory, offering practical strategies for immediate application through exploration of your leadership identity. You'll participate in interacting and sharing experiences with colleagues and celebrate each other's growth. Learn to build trust through open dialogue, embrace discomfort with bravery-building techniques, and harness the power of storytelling to unite your school community and teams. Gavin will equip you to sharpen your purpose for leading and foster a culture of continuous growth in yourself and those you lead, whilst building a community of practice through the process.

  By the end of this seminar, you'll be empowered to articulate your leadership story in a way that inspires positive change. 

  At the seminar, you will be immersed in:

  • Leadership Identity Exploration

  • Capacity Enhancement

  • Conscious Commitment to Development

  • Cultural Transformation

  • Practical Strategies for Leading People

  • Opportunities to Learn from One Another

  • Embracing Five Ways of Being
