SUMMARY:Leading with Confidence
DESCRIPTION:This session challenges what it means to be a confident leader - sometimes your confidence in what you can't do is more important than your confidence in what you can do.

This session aims to give attendees the tools to support themselves and their team through the complexities of the school year\, focusing on leading by example\, setting limits\, delegating tasks\, dreaming big\, and handling burnout.\n\nNote: This is a 60 minute session

SUMMARY:Keynote Series 2
DESCRIPTION:Greg Stewart -&nbsp\;Championing Vulnerability\nWe often see success\, and love as these tangible\, external objects. The money\, the cars\, the houses\, all of these materials are what we often see as a result of success. But were success and love actually lie are in the vulnerable discomforts\, the places of challenge\, and failure. Educating and guiding people to see their true selves\, only brings more love and success within\, bringing more outwards.
