  • Overview

    Training the next generation of school leaders is critical.

    Both research and experience suggest that effective, well-trained school leaders have a positive impact on student achievement, school improvement and staff wellbeing. Yet many leaders lack purposeful leadership formation and development. As such they are often ill equipped to deal with the leadership demands of schools.

    Recognising this challenge, DGC specialises in three areas of leadership development: professional learning, executive team development and performance coaching.

  • Leadership Professional Learning

    School leaders have common challenges. Many struggle with difficult conversations, managing the performance of colleagues and imposter syndrome.

    DGC consulting have developed a range of leadership workshops to address these critical leadership issues. The workshops focus on: leading difficult conversations, developing a high-performance mindset, vision and purpose, effective leadership, high-performing people, high-performing teams, personality and leadership styles, leading change and innovation, emotional intelligence, Catholic leadership, developing psychological safety, leadership coaching, leading challenging people, and meeting effectively.

    These workshops can be adapted to any format from PLCs to keynotes.

  • Executive Team Development

    Contemporary schooling is a team game. DGC specialise in enhancing the performance of executive teams by conducting in-depth assessments of team effectiveness, sharing insights from first hand research into high-performing teams, supporting teams to develop their own high-performance culture and working on targeted skills to maximise team cohesion and team efficacy.

  • High Performance Coaching

    Finding time to reflect and set goals is challenging in a harried leadership landscape. Our personalised coaching services are available for individuals and teams, providing invaluable guidance and support to enhance leadership effectiveness through psychometric testing, leadership reviews, goal-setting, self-reflection and strategic thinking.
