Pair Swami Swap If you weren’t in this company right now, I think you would be… You can see the diverse range of talents, interests and proclivities we have in this room, and somehow we’ve all ended up here together. Thank you for bringing your unique self here to join us!

Seriously, though... Thanks for coming! Your presence matters. Your active participation matters. Your willingness to learn and grow and apply matters.

The Big Picture VISION We help create communities that value all perspectives. MISSION We equip school leaders to listen to every voice and learn from each conversation, helping them strengthen their schools and serve their communities.

Big Ideas: Retreat Working to achieve a common goal while understanding and respecting each other’s roles and personalities Becoming creative experts in our roles to better serve our clients, each other and ourselves Being nimble and agile, even when we feel we’re carrying rocks (Everybody’s bag of rocks feels heavy to them!)

Retreat Goals Attendees will leave the retreat... Clear on direction, vision of the company Prepared to spend time thoughtfully reflecting and putting ideas into practice Self-aware of strengths and areas of concerns Committed to working for and with each other rather than for themselves Prepared for the school year ahead Prepared to grow both self and company
