Are you an educational leader who feels like you're constantly running on a treadmill of urgency? You answer emails, handle discipline, and check off compliance tasks, but you don't have time to actually connect with and grow your staff. 

In this episode of the Building a Culture of Collaboration podcast, Lorna and Kurtis sit down with author, speaker, and leadership coach Dr. Frederick Buskey to unpack how to transform your school from a culture of firefighting to a culture of collaboration. 

Frederick shares a profound truth that every principal and assistant principal needs to hear: "We invest time in people, we spend time on tasks. People are our purpose." 

We dive deep into his trademark frameworks, including The Motivation Equation and his 5-Stage Journey to Escaping Urgency, giving you actionable steps to stop managing symptoms and start developing your people.

What is Building a Culture of Collaboration?

Are you an educational leader or administrator searching for actionable strategies to build effective teams? In the Building a Culture of Collaboration podcast, Jigsaw Learning co-founders Kurtis and Lorna Hewson provide simple, purposeful tips to help you tackle meeting frustration, disengagement, and unproductive teamwork. This is your essential resource for advancing school improvement and collective efficacy.

You will find practical ideas for mastering effective meetings, where you learn the structures, roles, and agendas required to ensure your team meetings (PLCs, staff, student support) are focused and drive action. You'll discover how to shift your organization's mindset from isolated practice to powerful, shared responsibility for ALL students—this is key to teamwork and collaboration. Finally, you'll gain the leadership strategies needed to intentionally build a robust and sustainable culture that maximizes collective capacity and student success. We also talk with thought leaders outside of education, to grow our understanding of effective collaboration and teamwork.
