#4 - Kendall Zoller: Rethinking Communication in Schools

Drawing on his global experience as an author, trainer, and researcher, Kendall Zoller explores how shifts in the way educators think, talk, and work together can directly enhance student learning. He highlights why school leadership should be as intentional with adults as teachers are with students - designing clear purposes, structures, and processes that foster meaningful communication and collaboration.With passion and humour, Kendall brings complex ideas to life, sharing insights from the Adaptive Schools framework, challenging assumptions about psychological safety, and encouraging leaders to move teams beyond their comfort zones to inspire real growth.As the author of The Choreography of Presenting, he also offers practical strategies to harness the power of verbal and nonverbal communication patterns to strengthen professional interactions.Engaging and thought-provoking, this conversation invites leaders to rethink how communication and relationships shape school culture and drive better outcomes for the whole community.
