It's friendship, it's comradery, it's togetherness, it's communication, it's tools, it's strategies, it's laughter, and it's hard conversations.” 

-Jessica Gamble

Loren Brody is an elementary school principal in Northern Virginia. He is also a husband, father of two teenagers, amateur violinist, dedicated swimmer, new vegetarian cook and mindfulness devotee, and Washington Wizards and Nationals sports fan -- still holding onto his New York roots with allegiance to the New York Jets and Mets

 

Show Highlights

 

  • The mastermind experience model that's transforming professional development around the world for school leaders.

  • Gain more confidence on how to be a school leader in the way you  want to be a school leader.

  • Standard principal development is great at getting leaders to understand the “who” and “what” they want to accomplish. The Mastermind gives the “How” and steps to navigate all the challenges to accomplish your vision. 

  • Create a culture unique to the talents you bring.

  • The nuts and bolts embedded in the value of the Mastermind

    • Inspirational conversations

    • Collaboration with leaders around the world

    • Learning, growing and having fun with the challenges of leadership.

    • Tools to deal with difficult situations 

    • How to handle the pressure of needing to produce results as a school leader.

    • Steps to take school culture to the next level

    • Feedback and ideas you can implement the next day.

  • In the Mastermind, each principal's story is really important and how to apply that to the work. 

 

“I thought it (the Mastermind) was really a different way to get a wider perspective from a wider area hitting principles from all over. Until the Mastermind, I had these really good opportunities for learning, and I definitely learned and grew. I didn't have the opportunity to benefit from a wider perspective on school leadership.”

-LorenBrody
