Transformative Leadership from the Inside Out Webinar Series

Tuesdays at 6 pm-7:15 pm ET: January 13, February 10, and March 10, 2026

Join Drs. Renee Owen and Christine Mason as they discuss their new book, Becoming a Transformative Leader from the Inside Out  to be released on November 27. Owen and Mason will present the basics of transformative leadership in education, beginning with an initial session on values and your own internal transformation. The second session will focus on relationships, communication, and developing others. The last session will center on effecting social change, including tips on measuring progress, and considerations for visioning and the future of education.

Learn about ways to meet the demands placed on school leaders during this VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) era, complete with examples from schools and districts across America. Based on neuroscience, holistic thinking, and systems theory, Owen and Mason take ideas from Peter Senge and apply them in the context of issues facing schools today.

You will:

• Learn about the science of belonging,

• Consider the wisdom of an Indigenous Worldview,

• Learn tools for self-reflection,

• Explore mindfulness leadership exercises, and

• Begin identifying your blind spots.

Each session will include concrete examples from implementation in K-12 schools with ideas for developing group learning, including rituals to help improve the cohesion and well-being of staff and students in your schools.

Participants attending all 3 sessions will get CEI’s Transformative Leadership Certificate. Relevant for aspiring, new, and seasoned leaders, these sessions are offered at no charge for educators providing evidence of purchasing our book. During these sessions, Drs. Owen and Mason will offer follow-up Q&A and coaching sessions for participants who are interested in a deeper dive and/or have specific questions about their own situations.
