AAIE Leadership Masterminds
Registration for New Cohorts is Now Open!
Since launching in early 2020, AAIE and the Big Questions Institute have collaborated on twelve Mastermind leadership development cohorts. These 1-hour per month meetings offer a relaxed opportunity for leaders to bring forward their biggest challenges in a trust-based environment among peers. Through this partnership many leaders have worked through their most vexing questions, from personnel challenges they couldn’t discuss with colleagues on their campuses, to preparing for their own leadership transitions, and much more. Leadership can be lonely. Let’s change that!
About Masterminds
Over the years, the AAIE community has learned that leaders do better when we break out of isolation and learn in conversation and community. And the challenges keep coming.
Since early 2020, AAIE-sponsored Mastermind groups have offered numerous international school leaders a safe, trusted, provocative space for honest discussions around personal and professional topics of their choosing. In monthly virtual meetings, we’ve shared problems, designed solutions, and offered support to one another in ways that energize and grow capacity to lead into the future.
AAIE Masterminds builds on protocols used in similar leadership groups used in many other professional settings. Each month, one participant takes the “hotseat” to introduce a question or dilemma for feedback from the group. We also reserve time in each hourly session for open discussion of pressing questions, advice, and shared wins. Participants drive all of these conversations.
Both established and emerging leaders in the AAIE community have turned to their Mastermind cohort as a trusted professional network for working through some of the biggest challenges they face in their roles today.
