The lead keynote session reflects the challenges of the past year: Marcus Buckingham, a motivational speaker and bestselling author who helps lead the ADP Research Institute, will discuss the topic of resilience.
A former senior researcher at Gallup, Buckingham will use his session to highlight recent research about the sources of resilience in two recent studies. He will also present strategies for measuring resilience and building it within yourself.
“We are excited to hear him share the relationships between resilience, optimism, performance and psychological well-being during this crucial time,” said Jen Womble, program chair for the conference, in a press release.
Educational leaders also need to understand a thing or two about resilience. CDW Education Strategist Doug Konopelko will join a session Jan. 27 to highlight the ways that educational leaders can effectively handle the shifts spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic.
