Enrol your team
If you came to leadership the way many of us did, through your love of children and your skill with them, then somewhere along the way you were handed a team and left to work it out. The Strong Leaders for Stronger Teams course fills that gap, and you can work through it alone. Plenty of leaders do, and they come away seeing their team differently.
The course teaches. The change happens somewhere else: in the conversation where you say out loud what you're going to do differently on Monday, and someone asks you how it went.
That's the Strong Leaders Community of Practice. Six months, your leadership team alongside you, with leaders from other services who are carrying the same weight. One facilitated hour a month with a real case on the table, one action each before the hour closes, and a critical friend in another service between sessions.
One more reason to bring your team rather than come alone.
In the Phoenix Cups® framework we say our Cups are ours to fill. Leaders are the exception. The person with the power in the room fills or empties the Cups of everyone in it, and your leadership team does that to your educators, often without knowing. That's why we'd rather your team did this together.

Sandi Phoenix
BPsychSc, GradCertProfSt, GradCertHM&Neuro, CertIVTAE
Managing Director at Phoenix Support for Educators.
Sandi has been described as being able to open or close a conference with a 'bang'. Her presentations can be on the topic of behaviour (adult or child), psychology in education and care, or leadership, with important messages pulled together through story. Sandi delivers keynotes, workshop breakouts, panels, and MC.
Everything below is live and online. The two webinars are one room for the whole intake. Each Community of Practice session runs twice on the day, a Lunchbox session at 12pm and a Closing Time session at 6pm, and your team picks its slot when you enrol. All times are AEST; from 4 October, NSW, Victoria, SA, Tasmania and the ACT are one hour ahead, so 6pm AEST is 7pm AEDT.
Chapter 1 unlocks for your team. Before webinar one, each leader completes the Phoenix Cups® Quiz and the VIA character strengths questionnaire, so you arrive holding your own profile.
Your leadership style, read through your own profile. Chapters 2 and 3 open the same evening. Enrolment closes today.
Your team as a set of people with different needs and strengths. Chapters 4 and 5 open. Your cohort of services is announced in the community.
No content. Your facilitator hears where each team is, and the hour ends with goals your team has set for the six months.
First case in your cohort. Motivation, needs and strengths applied to a real team, yours or someone else's.
The Cups and VIA strengths of the people you lead, and what that changes about how you lead them. Your cohort checks in through the community over the January break.
The change your service needs, the barriers to it, and how a leadership team moves it.
Where your team is heading, said out loud to a room that has watched you get here. Certificates issued on completion of the course.
Missed a session?
Minutes and resources go into the community after every session, and your cohort's check-in carries on between them. The group's requests shape the next session, so if your team brings something in March that belongs in December's theme, it goes on the agenda anyway.

Five bodies of work run through the course, the webinars and every session. Named here so you know what you're being asked to think with.
The shared language of the program: five Cups for the needs that motivate behaviour, and the leaders' exception, that the person with the power in the room fills or empties the Cups of the people in it.
Autonomy, competence and relatedness as the conditions for motivation, and what a controlling environment does to all three. The theory behind leading through connection.
Two styles, when each one fits, and what each does to the Cups of the people you lead.
Twenty-four strengths, profiled in the pre-work, so you lead from what your people are good at.
Wellbeing as something a workplace builds, drawing on PERMA and on flow: the conditions under which people do their best work and want to come back tomorrow.
