The importance of positive communication and trust in leadership cannot be overstated. Great leaders help others to believe in their own potential and provide them with opportunities to reach it. #pdsl #LeadershipDevelopment #leadership @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey Orla O' Shea

Was reminded of this in school this week #leadership #pdsl @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey Orla O' Shea UL_ELLA

Seeing plenty of action and examples of leadership in everyday activities in school at the moment, both inside and outside of official leadership roles #expandedthinking #leadership Orla O' Shea @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey UL_ELLA

Thought of the week for Work Place Cultures, If you want to change school culture, you have to change how you think, change how you speak and change how you act UL_ELLA Dr. Niamh Hickey @patriciamannixm Orla O' Shea #leadership #workplaceculture

Really enjoyed diving under the surface to look at hidden culture in the workplace, both positive and negative #leadership Orla O' Shea @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey UL_ELLA

The power of effective communication Orla O' Shea @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey UL_ELLA #leadership #pdsl

Conflict is inevitable. How we react is a choice. Taking the time to step back and look at a situation objectively is important. When dealt with sensitively and respectfully, conflict is an opportunity for growth. #pdsl #leadership @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey UL_ELLA

Mentoring enables us to support colleagues, sharing our lived experience through meaningful dialogue Orla O' Shea @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey UL_ELLA #leadership #aspiringleaders

This is so worth the listen, enjoyed every moment of learning about compassionate curiosity when faced with conflict, skills that can be applied to all areas of our lives not just in the leadership context Dr. Niamh Hickey @patriciamannixm #leadership ted.com/talks/kwame_ch…

The word conflict alone gives me 🦋 🦋 🦋 Love this little acronym for supporting us to deal with conflict in a healthy way #leadership UL_ELLA Dr. Niamh Hickey @patriciamannixm Orla O' Shea

Important to consider the power of words this week in the #pdsl. We all have a tendency to focus too strongly on the negative (especially when stressed or frustrated) and without conversational intelligence can negate rather than support @patriciamannixm UL_ELLA Dr. Niamh Hickey

As a leader, it takes courage to admit we don't always have the answer and we need to ensure that we are listening to others. This allows us to build trust with our team.  #PDSL #AspiringLeaders #Leadership

As we approach the end of our 2nd semester this quote really resonates with me, #leadership

Authentic Leaders understand their purpose,lead with their heart, demonstrate self disciple, practice solid values and establish connected relationships #Leadership #pdsl @patriciamannixm Dr. Niamh Hickey UL_ELLA

Leaders need to create environments where people are safe in the knowledge that their opinion and voice matters and they will not be critiqued or judged due to a differing opinions #psychologicalsafety #leadership Dr. Niamh Hickey UL_ELLA @patriciamannixm
