Tuesday Talks

MEMBER EXCLUSIVE SERIES: In this session you will learn how to set your school up for success by uniting your internal community under a shared message, incorporating their feedback and experiences at the right stages and empowering them to meaningfully contribute to a positive path forward. Join Torsie Judkins, Head of School at Wingra School (WI) and Barbara Egan, Chief Strategist and Head of StoryScape, as they share stories from their collaboration to do just this. You’ll walk away with actionable steps to discover shared values and commonalities, identify opportunities for growth and alignment and find the intersection where insights and authenticity meet. This process will leave your school—and you—better equipped, stronger, and more united than when you began.
