CSDC Conference: January 20, 2010

“Now that I’ve heard Rob share information from his new book, Conscious Leadership, I’m anxious to purchase a copy,” commented one conference participant. Rob Bocchino facilitated an excellent day of learning with expertise, enthusiasm and energy. He provided time for delivering content, processing the information and networking with educators from around the state.

Three important things that Rob shared, based on the work and research for his new book, include the following:

1. A developmental framework that included three specific attributes of “conscious leaders”:
   • Leaders are decision-makers.
   • Leaders are distinction-makers. They see “differences that make a difference”.
   • Leaders practice precision of language.
2. A protocol called The Gameboard of Change.
3. The concepts of trust, being trustworthy, and trusting in community and how the three are interrelated. Some participant comments about the day of learning include …
   • I learned some new ideas for leading a difficult team. Thank you!
   • This material was very relevant to my work.
   • I appreciate Rob’s energy.
   • I plan to use The Gameboard of Change.
   • I plan to practice the use of more precise language.
   • I relearned the importance of trust, trusting, and trustworthiness.
