    Come join the Parents of Children Affinity Group discussion! One thing we know is that parenting can make the best of relationships more difficult. Our time shifts to raising kids, and relationships with our partners and co-parents are often put on hold. Dividing parental responsibilities, balancing work, and parenting can be stressful. How do we keep our relationships strong while raising kids? How do we manage the dynamics of in-laws and family? How do we co-parent after separation or divorce? 

    Join this upcoming Affinity Group discussion. Every one of us has unique insights and knowledge about this topic to share with the group. We welcome all parents to join us and learn, share, guide, and thrive!

    This interactive session helps participants explore how lasting change begins not with goals, but with identity. Inspired by Atomic Habits by James Clear, the workshop guides attendees in shifting from outcome-based thinking to identity-based action—helping them define who they want to become and build small habits that reinforce that identity. Participants will walk away with a personalized habit statement, a deeper sense of self-awareness, and a powerful framework for growth in both their personal and professional lives.

    Description: In this session, we'll get a little bit introspective and think about our own strengths and weaknesses as managers. Participants are encouraged to complete this leadership style quiz beforehand and come ready to discuss they ways in which their management style manifests in the workplace. We'll also spend some time thinking about the ways in which we could adapt our styles as needed.

Her first role in education involved teaching English to middle schoolers as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Madagascar. (Had her Malagasy colleagues done a performance review of her teaching abilities back then, she'd have been placed squarely in the "needs improvement" phase.) She then went on to earn a PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of Texas at Austin. After spending several years teaching college-level French and leading study abroad programs in Paris and Bordeaux, she took a role in the Academic Affairs department at WorldStrides (originally ISA) in 2015. She loves onboarding new colleagues, setting goals, meeting quarterly objectives, and collaborating with her team to ensure that they're supporting student learning on all their programs. In her spare time, she thrives by hanging out with her family in Austin, TX, reading, writing short stories, and traveling.

    Maximize Your Leadership Impact 

    We are back for another summer of special training and professional development to grow your skill sets for all emerging and established global leaders.  The 2025 series consists of four webinars delivered online and recorded for members to view at their convenience, PLUS a unique certificate program where you can earn a credential from The League.  Learn more about the certificate HERE.

    Webinar #1 Keep Yourself Out of the Red Zone - Dealing with Uncertainty & Conflict

    Being in the "red zone" emotionally usually refers to a state of heightened emotional intensity – like feeling extremely angry, frustrated, anxious, or overwhelmed.

    The Challenge:

    In the red zone, the part of your brain responsible for reasoning (the prefrontal cortex) often takes a backseat. You’re more likely to react impulsively. When you’re in the red zone, it’s hard to think clearly or find solutions. You might fixate on what's wrong rather than how to fix it.

    The Impact (of Not Addressing It):

    Strong emotions can cloud your ability to express yourself clearly or listen to others, leading to misunderstandings, arguments, or damaged relationships.

    Being emotionally dysregulated can trigger physical symptoms - rapid heartbeat, tense muscles, sweating, headaches – and over time, chronic stress can lead to real health problems.

    Learning Outcomes:

    ·        Recognize Emotional States and Triggers

    ·        Apply Practical Tools to Regulate Emotions in the Workplace

    ·        Build Confidence in Managing Conflict and Stress

    Webinar #2 Lead from Where You Are and How to be a Good Influencer

    Being a good influencer means you don’t need a leadership position to make a leadership impact. You influence your environment, your team, your peers – right from your current role. Leadership is more about attitude and actions than job titles. 

    The Challenge: 

    You may not always have formal power or a title, so it can be hard to get people to listen or take you seriously. People may question your intentions or wonder, “Who are you to lead?” Especially if they see you as a peer or junior. Without a leadership role, you might not have access to tools, budgets, or decision-making platforms. And, imposter syndrome may hit hard. You might wonder if your voice matters or if you’re stepping out of line.

    The Impact (of Not Addressing It): 

    Organizations as a whole may find innovation, creativity, and progress slow down because no one’s stepping up.  Personally, when you want to lead or influence but feel blocked or ignored, it leads to frustration or burnout. Workplaces can become toxic if positive influencers stay silent and louder (but less constructive) voices fill the space. And in the long run, if people don’t develop leadership skills early on, it makes the jump into actual leadership roles harder later.

    Learning Outcomes:

    • Learn effective communication and influence techniques
    • Consider strategies for taking initiative and owning outcomes, even in the absence of formal authority.
    • Craft a plan to manage upward and sideways influence
    • Navigate resistance and setbacks with resilience and emotional regulation.

    Webinar #3:  Integrate AI & Tech – Tools for Global Educators

    Technology empowers people and organizations to solve problems, enhance efficiency, and unlock new possibilities through innovation and connection. AI especially can help analyze large sets of data and provide insights to support decision-making. Content creators can use AI to help streamline a process or create personalized experiences for students. These tools can be helpful and are also time consuming to learn. Which ones to use?

    The Challenge: 

    You may be doing things the hard way simply because you don’t know a better tool exists. This costs time and money to the organization and wear and tear on the team member. Those who stay updated on tools gain a huge advantage – in productivity, engagement, and outcomes. But AI and emerging tech can feel intimidating, especially for educators who aren’t “digital natives.”  Plus, global educators are already overloaded—learning new tools can feel like “just one more thing. “

    The Impact (of Not Addressing It): 

    Without embracing evolving technology, you risk continuing to rely on manual, repetitive tasks that drain your time and energy. This leads to inefficiency and burnout, as you may struggle to keep up with routine administrative duties. Not integrating AI into your workflow puts you at risk of inefficiency, missed opportunities, and stagnation. The inability to leverage available tools leaves you exposed to competitive disadvantage, slow decision-making, and reduced overall performance.

    Learning Outcomes:

    • Understand technology trends and terminology
    • Learn the basics of AI and tech tools and how they can apply in global education work environments.
    • Explore a deeper understanding of how different types of technology can support your goals.
    • Understand how tech tools and platforms can help automate routine tasks, streamline workflows and help optimize your time management.

    Webinar #4 Prioritize Time and Decisions – Steps Toward More Control and Better Outcomes

    Learning to prioritize time and decisions means developing the ability to identify and focus on what is most important, while minimizing distractions and unnecessary tasks. It involves effectively managing your time, resources, and energy to make better decisions and achieve your goals more efficiently.

    The Challenge: 

    In today’s fast-paced world, we are bombarded with tasks, emails, meetings, and notifications. The sheer volume of information and demands can make it hard to know where to start or which tasks should take priority. Constant interruptions, whether from colleagues, technology (e.g., social media, notifications), or unexpected events, can make it difficult to focus on the task at hand.  If you’re unclear about your long-term objectives or have vague goals, it’s hard to prioritize the right tasks and without a clear vision of what matters most, it becomes difficult to distinguish between high- and low-priority activities.  

    The Impact (of Not Addressing It):

    Without prioritization, you’re constantly reacting to whatever’s most urgent, rather than planning ahead. This leads to mental fatigue, stress, and eventually burnout—especially in high-demand roles. Important but non-urgent goals (like personal development, innovation, strategic planning) often get pushed aside in favor of “busy work.” Time, money, and human resources are not allocated effectively when there’s no clear sense of priority. Constant busyness without progress can make you feel ineffective and stuck.

    Learning Outcomes:

    • Reflect on current behaviors to identify patterns that hinder productivity
    • Learn the most common pitfalls and how to avoid them
    • Develop a personal decision-making framework to stick to the important tasks
    • Learn how to communicate priorities clearly and assertively in order to protect time and focus without damaging relationships.
