Elevated Conversations Practical Tools to Make Collaboration Count

'A book that blends practical simplicity with deep insight. Breakspear brilliantly demystifies collaboration, and provides simple, powerful tools that spark meaningful dialogue, deepen reflection, and will shift meetings from the mundane to the transformational.' John Hattie, Laureate Professor Emeritus, Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne 'Elevated Conversations is superb - it's deeply rooted in the realities of team behaviours and provides a brilliant set of tools and strategies to help teams to be more effective. More than that, it offers a whole new way of thinking about how we use our time together.' Tom Sherrington, Director, Teaching Walkthrus 'Ask any teacher or school leader what they would like more of, and the answer is almost always the same: time. Elevated Conversations is a powerful reminder that impact comes not from having more time but from using it more wisely. This book delivers a fresh perspective on how we can make a difference with the moments of professional connection we have.' Nicole West, Principal, Inglewood Primary School, Western Australia 'In the personal world of teaching with dozens of conversations a day, it can be embarrassing to think we might need help to do them better. Elevated Conversations provides simple and yet powerful tools with step-by-step guidance enabling us all to make our collaborative work more impactful and a real driver for sustained success.'
