The purpose of the talk is to provide value for principals at the beginning of the year – for principals to perceive or see the world, act in the world, be in the world and lead in the world in new, more powerful and more resilient ways. At the heart of resilience is how and what we think. Research shows that how we respond to situations and how we explain what happens to us has a profound effect on our resilience. Moreover, science is showing that that the way we respond to adversity is among the top predictors of satisfaction and success.

•What would be different if your staff were able to bounce back from challenge, change and uncertainty AND move beyond, with grit, grace and groove?
