The Truth About Communication

The quality of your communication system is often the difference between initiatives that transform your schools and initiatives that become

"remember when we tried that."

 

"This guidebook offers a strategic roadmap for educational leaders to build the communication infrastructure necessary for lasting organizational growth. This provides essential tools for administrators to move beyond reactive messaging and foster the transparent, sustainable culture our schools need."

~ Dr. Katarina Roy-Schanz (Director of Wellness and Engagement)

Your ideas are good. Your planning is solid. Your team is capable.

The Real Reason Your Initiatives Aren't Sticking

 

It's not that you failed to communicate at all but that your communication wasn't:

  • Early enough to prevent rumors
  • Clear enough to explain the why
  • Consistent enough to reinforce the priority
  • Constant enough to truly sink in
  • Continual enough to outlast the launch
  • Comprehensive enough to reach everyone
  • Concrete enough to make it visual and understandable

This is exactly what The 7 C's Communication Guidebook gives you.

"As a site administrator for many years, I made so many communication errors! Having a guide like this could have helped me be more efficient and more effective. As a consultant in education, quite often initiatives struggled because communication just wasn't as organized as it should have been – paying attention to communication certainly helped leaders gain more traction and helped build the collective efficacy needed to make initiatives 'stick' in schools."

~ Dr. Mary Beth Kropp (Consultant/Former Principal)

 “As a relatively new principal, the content is pertinent as I continually develop my leadership style. I really don't feel the components of communication have been compiled together systematically such as presented in the 7 C’s Framework. In fact, many components are typically discussed in isolation where it just seemed to me things that 'good' leaders do. Now I understand why and how to do them.”

~ Nadine Arnaiz-Bradvica (Principal)

Your plan isn't the problem.

Your communication system is.

 

"Reading the Practical Communication Guidebook for Educational Leaders Implementing Sustainable Change restored my hope and faith in what I was doing as a leader. I had created what I believed to be solid initiatives with my leadership team and with district leaders and each time, it seemed to fade away after some time. Teachers and staff would go back to their typical way of doing things and I would feel like a failure. I didn't understand how to move the needle on these initiatives, and I thought I was being clear with my directions and expectations and I was practicing shared leadership, but even my team leaders were not following through on expectations. It was extremely defeating and discouraging. However, as soon as I started reading the guidebook the pages spoke to me and reframed my thinking into, 'you're not doing anything wrong' you just need to do things differently."

~ Dr. Tasceaie Churchwell (Principal)
