The Remote vs. In-Person Debate is tiring, y’all. I love the flexibility of working remotely 🏡 (who doesn't?), but brainstorming big ideas virtually can feel...uninspired. That's where in-person collaboration shines! ✨ Here's the key: there's not one “right” answer for every person or project on every single day. Context matters! For: 🤔Brainstorming & Problem-Solving❓ - In-person time can't be beat! (And I love a good retreat!) 📋Individual Tasks & Follow-Ups ✅- Remote and WFH wins for dedicated focus time! Let's ditch the "either/or" and embrace the power of the “both/ and” in CONTEXT! And no one does in-person retreats for school system teams better than USHCA. 😉 #WFH #teamretreat #Flexibility #FutureOfWork #contextmatters

Risk is a reality in social development programs, and addressing it is crucial for sustainable impact. From funding uncertainties to differing perceptions between funders and implementers, navigating risks requires innovative solutions. Today, on Day 2 of the Skoll World Forum, I’m excited to be participating in the panel, 'Calling out and responding to risk – a frank discussion.' If you’re here, do join me, Anna Fraenzel, Mohamed Osman, Dr Moses Isooba, Tunji Eleso, and Lonnie Hackett as we delve into the challenges and opportunities in mitigating risks for long-term social development programs. #RiskManagement #SocialEnterprise #Innovation #WorldSkollForum #skollwf

Earlier this year, CBIA and @CEA organized multiple roundtables about #CTUnspokenCrisis, and how we can better support the 119,000 disconnected and at-risk young people in our state. We rarely have so many leaders from different fields participating in one comprehensive discussion, and we wanted to share the highlights with you today. 🙌 Please take a moment to hear some of those different perspectives here - https://lnkd.in/eQ3ZfcUZ

Dr Kate Chhatwal OBE, CEO of Challenge Partners, and Paul Watson, CEO of the PRESTON HEDGES TRUST, will both be leading a workshop at this week's Association of School and College Leaders Annual Conference 2024 - 'Shaping our Collective Future: Big ideas to lead the system to excellence and equity'. "As we approach the election, this session will examine what it will take - in the next five to ten years - to lead the system to excellence and equity. It will provide an opportunity to shape the debate by exploring with your peers what a truly excellent and equitable education could and should look like. It will also identify what we can do, without permission, to lead the changes we want to see for our pupils and communities. Based on a series of workshops and discussions with school and trust leaders across #ChallengePartners, we will present four emerging Big Ideas - and examples of where they are already being implemented - for challenge and refinement. There will be plenty of space for new ideas too."
