To date, most of my guests have shared their experiences within one specific setting \u2013 a primary school, a post primary school, a state school, or a private school and maybe even an international school amongst others, but no-one has yet to share a story of developing a coaching culture in three separate schools \u2013 at the same time. Join me in conversation with Justine Smyth. Justine is currently an executive principal working with the Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership based in Melbourne Australia. Just a few years ago Justine was tasked with the formidable challenge of amalgamating no less than three neighbouring primary schools and settling them into a brand new build. Change management guru John Kotter states \u2013 \u201cIn its most basic sense, leadership is about mobilising a group of people to jump into a better future.\u201d In this episode Justine is going to share with us how she mobilised three separate groups into one better future that paid respect to all three schools.
