ACAPT Leadership Academy Workshop at ELC

Location: This is the same location as the Educational Leadership Conference

Your Leadership Mindset: Think Big, Act Boldly

Mindset – your own attitudes, beliefs, and expectations - acts as a foundation of who you are, how you lead, and the ways in which you interact and connect with other people.  Your mindset influences how you see, interpret and respond to situations.  Your mindset influences your decisions and your actions.  

Mindset - this fundamental force - can either help you or prevent you from fulfilling your own or your teams’ potential.  You can choose how to interpret challenges, opportunities, and setbacks.  Ideally, robust leadership starts with a growth mindset.  Leaders with a growth mindset understand that ‘potential’ can change and grow, and that great things can be accomplished through passionate practice, effort, and learning.  

Adopting a new mindset is the first step in reinventing yourself as a leader, and strengthening your impact and influence.  Shifting your mindset requires you to examine how you engage people, evaluate opportunities, approach situations, and make decisions.  It challenges you to break out of your comfort zone to stretch your capacity. This passionate dedication to stretching potential, especially when things are not going as expected, is a vital characteristic of a leadership growth mindset.  

In this program, emphasis will be on examining the role your mindset plays in how you lead yourself, engage others, and purposefully design your future.  You will learn how to shift and shape your mindset proactively and why this matters.  Participants will be encouraged to contribute to interactive discussions throughout the entire program.
