LEADERSHIP BY CONVERSATION Ends on an Exhilarating Note in Sydney

This year the Jesuit Conference Asia Pacific Education secretariat offered our educators in the region two brand new workshops. The first was an IPP workshop called LEARNING BY REFRACTION, held last September at Seven Fountains Retreat Centre, Chiang Mai, Thailand; and the second one is the just-completed LEADERSHIP BY CONVERSATION at St. Ignatius College, Riverview, Australia.

The workshop brought together a total of 26 participants from Hong Kong, Macau, the Philippines, and the biggest contingent from Indonesia. The new workshop focused on the ministry of Ignatian conversation and weds it with Growth Coaching, using such tools as the MBTI and best practices on feedback giving.
