Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Leading Across Generations, with Dr. Joe Azzopardi
Q: What is the core message that your AI thinks you should leave with the audience?
Leading into uncharted territory is about purpose and learning, not having a perfect map, and leaders should focus on why the journey matters, take responsible next steps, and stay open to learning along the way.
Using technology to support the human work of inclusive education, with Caroline White
Q: How has AI shaped your leadership approach and workload management?
AI has helped balance instructional leadership with professional learning and distributed leadership, freeing time for in-class presence and coaching while enabling efficient documentation and reporting.
The Question Effect for Less Stress and More Impact in Leadership, with Paul McGregor
Q: What is a concrete example you share about long-term thinking in leadership?
Think generations ahead in visioning—what kind of ancestors do we want to be, and how will the next generations judge our decisions about the school's future?
The Question Effect for Less Stress and More Impact in Leadership, with Paul McGregor
Q: If a leader wants one small step today, where should they start?
Find someone in your corner—a trusted guide who can help you reflect, challenge assumptions, and stay grounded in human-centered leadership rather than going it alone.
The Question Effect for Less Stress and More Impact in Leadership, with Paul McGregor
Q: How would you describe the heart of your approach and its applicability to daily leadership?
Transform leadership from a posture of always having the answers to a discipline of asking powerful questions, listening, and guiding people to their own solutions—this reduces stress and builds capability.
