Leadership Lab: AI as Your Thinking Partner

A practical one-day leadership lab helping school leaders use AI as a thinking partner to reduce workload and improve decision-making.

School leaders are carrying unprecedented cognitive load.

Decision-making pressure is constant. Workload keeps expanding. Strategic thinking time keeps shrinking.

This one-day leadership lab is designed for principals and school leaders who want to think more clearly, decide more confidently, and use AI as a practical thinking partner, not just another tool to manage.

Rather than focusing on platforms or technical features, the day centres on how AI can support leadership judgement, clarity, productivity, and cognitive load reduction in the real conditions school leaders are working in right now.

What You’ll Gain From the Day

By the end of the day, participants will have:

• Practical ways to use AI to reduce workload and cognitive load
• Strategies for improving productivity without sacrificing judgment
• Examples of how school leaders are using AI as a thinking partner
• Clear approaches to better decision-making using AI support
• A set of ready-to-use prompts for real leadership challenges
• Greater confidence in using AI safely, professionally, and purposefully

Participants are encouraged to bring their laptop and mobile phone.
