Weaving Futures

Weaving Futures’ purpose is to equip education leaders with the tools, strategies, and support, they need to thrive both now and in the future. Weaving together our learning from the past, our knowledge of the current reality, and our future ambitions for education, we inspire leaders towards compelling futures. We are also there when the going gets tough. Using a strengths-based approach, Weaving Futures offers leadership coaching that combines tools from the field of Positive Psychology with sound leadership approaches. The result is practical, structured coaching that delivers both support and challenge enabling principals to grow their own capacity while building the capability of others. Alongside coaching, Weaving Futures hosts Leaders’ Collab - a professional community of leaders who care deeply about purpose, integrity, and growing others. This isn’t just another PLG. It is a space where leaders come together to navigate complexity, share generously and redesign what’s possible in education. Over the past seven years Weaving Futures has also developed a culturally-located change framework that adapts design thinking to the unique context and needs of schools. Te Whakaahua Framework guides the change journey from Te Korekore and Te Pō (the darkness) to Tīhei Mauri Ora (the light). We work with Primary, Intermediate and Secondary Schools, and professional associations offering leadership coaching, strengths assessments, team coaching, design thinking workshops, and keynotes.
