General Session - Featured Presentation by Dr. Donya Ball: We are Facing a Leadership Crisis. Here's the Cure.
Sunday March 23, 2025 9:45am - 11:00am PDT
We Are Facing a Leadership Crisis. Here’s the Cure.

Education is at a crossroads. Schools and districts across the nation are grappling with leadership fatigue, increased demands, and a growing sense of disconnection. The result? A crisis in leadership that directly impacts student outcomes, educator well-being, and the very future of our school communities.

In this dynamic and solutions-driven keynote, Dr. Donya Ball takes educational leaders on a powerful journey to diagnose the root causes of today’s leadership crisis and, more importantly, provide the cure. Through real-world insights, compelling storytelling, and research-backed strategies, Dr. Ball unpacks the essential elements required to reinvigorate leadership in schools and districts.

Leaders will walk away with:
✅ Clarity on the Leadership Crisis– Understanding the systemic challenges causing burnout, disengagement, and ineffective leadership cycles.
✅ The Cure for the Crisis – Three transformational drivers that will restore resilience, refocus vision, and reignite a culture of trust and collaboration.
✅ Actionable Strategies – Practical, no-nonsense approaches to leading with authenticity, sustaining momentum, and creating lasting impact in their schools and districts.
