San Francisco, CA (PRUnderground) May 1st, 2023
From May 2023, and continuing through the next school year, the partnership between BTS Spark and WASA will see BTS Spark’s professional coaches providing one-to-one personalized leadership coaching for WASA members. This partnership seeks to grow and develop the leadership skills of school and district leaders across Washington state.
“Leadership is contextual”, says Sean Slade, co-Head of BTS Spark, North America, “which is why a personalized approach to leadership development is so needed.”
“Mindsets influence behavior and it’s not unusual for a school leader’s fixed-mindset to prevent them reaching their full leadership potential. Our coaches are highly skilled at identifying these mindtraps and supporting leaders in developing strategies to address them. We look forward to helping WASA members grow their leadership styles throughout the process.”
Joel Aune, Executive Director of WASA adds, “We’re excited to be able to offer this benefit to our members and provide them with the opportunity to extend their personal leadership skills and progress the culture of their schools.”
“During these times of uncertainty, having leaders who are dynamic yet empathetic is critical to the success of our school communities. The BTS Spark mindset curriculum focuses on these all-important human and transformational aspects of leadership.”
