The session will help you to

• Record agreed actions and develop a plan, including a review process
This will be an interactive session with opportunities for practice. Please bring along an example of

• a conversation you’ve held and wonder how you could have managed it better.
1b. “The Humble Art of Delegation”
Nickii Messer – School Business Management and Leadership
Are you feeling overworked? Do you never seem to have time for strategic planning? Do you want to delegate but just don’t know how or where to start? Do you avoid delegation because it’s quicker to do it yourself – and, let’s face it, no-one will ever do it quite as well as you will?
In this fun and interactive workshop, Nickii will explore how humble delegation can support courageous collaboration, leading to organisational and personal success.
By mastering the art of delegation, you can increase your own productivity as well as enabling sustainability and succession planning for you and the school
