In this session, participants will explore the why and how of professional sharing. Often, independent schools fail to share well because of time constraints, perceived competition, or the lack of a storytelling vocabulary. Counterintuitively, it is possible to save time, bypass competition, and learn to tell stories by opening your practice, as well as your school’s innovations, to others. We will dissect several case studies in order to surface the true value of sharing, investigate options for sharing both internally and externally, and consider platforms for sharing regularly. This session will include an exercise in which we practice sharing a highlight from the conference itself in order to generate an immediate object lesson.
