I think when you do anything at a reasonable level you end up ... in your industry bubble and I think something like this – Aleda Connect – is a circuit breaker. That’s what I’ve really liked; you get a different terminology, a different way of thinking and it just doesn’t happen much unless you do something like this.

Aleda Connect

Aleda Connect has been created to provide unique collaborative opportunities to leaders at the top of their field.

We connect a small but diverse group of successful leaders who understand the challenges of high-level leadership - with them they bring their willingness to share, learn and grow as leaders.

Aleda Connect provides a supportive, confidential environment where creativity and connection are made.

Brilliant sessions, so much to take in, music to my ears. Thank you so much!! It's been an incredible experience.

The Australian Coach Symposium

An eight-week deep dive into the coaching mentality

The inaugural symposium in 2020 featured an all-star line-up: Australian men’s team cricket coach Justin Langer, NBL coach Will Weaver (Sydney Kings), AFL coaches Ben Rutten and John Worsfold (Essendon FC) and NRL coaches Trent Robinson and Matt King (Sydney Roosters). It was facilitated by ACS founder Matt Wadewitz and former Adelaide Crows coach Don Pyke.

ACS is an eight-week deep dive into the coaching mentality. It synthesises advancements in the field while empowering coaches to build resilience to handle the intense pressures of their career through the support and mentorship of peers who simply ‘get it’.

The magic of ACS is the cross-sporting-code format of the group, which is handpicked so strictly only one team is represented from each code. This creates the unique trusting environment needed to fast-track collaboration and peers. Facilitators survey the coaches' players to gather authentic feedback that is used to customise each coach's learning journey.
Coaches learn techniques to continue the practices of self-reflection and problem-solving for the rest of their lives. The benefits flow on to their players, their organisations and their loved ones. Conducted remotely via Microsoft Teams, the ACS fits into the schedules of sports' busiest professionals. There are also opportunities for members to meet face to face, health guidelines allowing, including at the annual Aleda Summit.

The LeadLearn Cycle

There are four parts to the work we do: research, collaboration, observation and coaching.

1 Research & Analyse

Our Learning Environment Survey is all about collecting measurable data on your learning environment, to understand it better and identify areas of growth. An expert LeadLearn consultant will work with you onsite to administer and analyse your results.

2 Collaborate & Learn

The LeadLearn Cycle focuses on collaborating and reflecting in a safe, familiar and welcoming environment – your own workplace. Our consultant will facilitate an open and collaborative session between peers, to help analyse feedback and make an informed decision about where to focus your energy moving forward.

Coaching, feedback and planning

3 OBSERVE

Through the observation process, you will implement everything you have decided upon in the Collaborate and Learn session. We’ll help you to identify focus areas and interventions that can positively impact your learning environment; testing, measuring and refining as we go to ensure success.

4 Coach to Action

Our coaching model is about walking shoulder to shoulder with you through the LeadLearn Cycle. You will analyse, deeply reflect, and enact plans specific to your site and role.

Aleda's LeadLearn Connect program has been a valuable opportunity to collaborate with like minded education professionals from across a range of states and other countries. Each participant has brought a unique perspective and background to the sessions, yet a common desire to personally improve and to support each other. The coaching process has been reaffirming and purposeful, with a focus on impacting change for students to improve their outcomes.
