Leading with a Lens of Inquiry in Australia
It’s been months of brainstorming and planning with some fantastic organizations and educators for a visit to Australia and Tasmania in July.
I’ll be partnering with Trevor MacKenzie at many of these events, bringing our range of experience and perspectives to the group while of course leaning and also learning from the fantastic wisdom in the room (If you were at the Kaleidoscope event in Vancouver this past April you’ll know this phrase, as shared by Kath Murdoch, quite well!)
