Upcoming Professional Development
Our workshops and trainings are grounded in our relationship-based approach and evidence-based effective practices of Adult Learning. Our training offerings are different from many other SEL and Wellbeing programs because we have an intimate understanding of the cultural context of international schools and we never deliver within a cultural void. Our professional development is research-based, interactive, professionally relevant and complemented with supplemental resources to encourage ongoing learning and development.
Below are our upcoming workshops, webinars, and trainings.

Why This Course Matters
***COACHED COHORT COURSE BEGINS APRIL 9, 2025
In today's educational landscape, leadership teams face unprecedented challenges. The most successful schools aren't just surviving these pressures—they're transforming them into opportunities for growth and excellence.
From Strain to Strength equips you with research-backed strategies and practical tools to build collective resilience within your leadership team and school community. The course encourages all members of the school community to contribute to a culture of care and shared wellbeing. You'll explore strategies to create a supportive school environment, ensuring that wellbeing is integrated at every level. Through practical techniques and real-world examples, you'll learn how to foster a collaborative, caring culture that benefits students, staff, and the wider school community.
What You'll Learn
This immersive course guides you through a progression of essential skills:
Building Supportive Communities: Discover how to foster cultures of care through effective leadership and delegation strategies that distribute wellbeing efforts across your institution.
Organizational Resilience: Explore relationship-resourced resilience through real examples that demonstrate how to weather both ongoing stress and real crisis.
Thriving Under Pressure: Learn highly effective practices for maintaining team performance during persistent challenges, including dynamic role restructuring, collective sensemaking, and emotional connection.
Navigating Crisis: Develop strategies for crisis response and times of high stress, including collective ownership of challenges, creative resource compilation, and communal coping approaches.
How We'll Learn Together
Through case studies drawn from schools that have thrived under extreme circumstances, interactive exercises, and guided discussions, you'll develop practical skills to:
Transform team dynamics by reframing adversity as a shared challenge
Implement "relational pauses" that strengthen organizational culture
Surface authentic identities within your team
Balance individual wellbeing with collective resilience
Every concept is grounded in authentic experiences from educators who have put these practices to the test in their own communities.
The Difference This Makes
Graduates of this course don't just learn concepts—they develop actionable leadership capabilities:
Confidence in uncertainty: Lead decisively even when the path forward isn't clear
Team cohesion: Build relationships that withstand pressure and grow stronger through challenges
Sustainable resilience: Create systems that support ongoing wellbeing rather than just crisis response
Educational continuity: Ensure quality learning experiences persist even during turbulent times
Take This Course Individually or as Part of the Certificate
From Strain to Strength is the second course in our Transformative Wellbeing Leadership Certificate. While it serves as a crucial component of the complete certificate program, it's also designed to deliver standalone value for educators focused specifically on building collective resilience.
By taking this course, you'll gain immediate, applicable strategies for transforming your school's approach to collective wellbeing. Should you later decide to pursue the full certificate, your progress in this course will be recognized.
