FreaK Factory: Making People Better by Helping
Them Get Worse
- Dr. David Rendall
Are you frustrated by disengaged and unproductive employees?
Are you looking for better strategies for improving employee
performance?
Research shows that most people are not committed to their
jobs and the way we currently manage employees does even
more to harm, instead of help, their performance. We think our
employees are broken, treat them like they are broken, and then
wonder why they dont work. Instead of attacking peoples
weaknesses, we need to find the strength that is hidden inside
their apparently negative characteristics.
It is time to stop trying to create well-rounded and balanced em-
ployees. We need people that are unbalanced. We need freaks.
This session will explore four essential strategies for improving
employee engagement by turning our teams, departments or
organizations into freak factories.
During the last fifteen years, David Rendall has spoken to audi-
ences on every inhabited continent. His clients include the US
Air Force and the Australian Government, as well as companies
in the Fortune 500 including, Microsoft, AT&T, State Farm Insur-
ance and Ralph Lauren.
In between presentations, he competes in ultramarathons and
Ironman triathlons.
Prior to becoming a speaker, he was a management professor
and stand-up comedian. He also managed nonprofit enterprises
that provided employment for people with disabilities. He has
more than twenty years of experience leading people and or-
ganizations.
David has a doctor of management degree in organizational
leadership, as well as a graduate degree in psychology. He is
the author of three books:

Critical Leadership Questions for
Inspiring School-wide Excellence

Tuesday, January 23rd 9AM 12PM

@ Region 10 (SpringValley)

Principal Kafele makes the case that building a learn-

ing environment that inspires school-wide excellence
can never be overstated; particularly in lower-
performing schools. In this high-energy, highly-
engaging workshop, Principal Kafele will challenge
school leaders to look critically within themselves
through reflective questions about their leadership
practices relative to how they inspire energy, excite-
ment, and enthusiasm for learning throughout their
buildings daily. He will lay out the touchstones for
maintaining strong leadership habits, inspiring excel-
lence and collaboration in others, and engaging an en-
Principal Kafele
tire school community in striving to be the best.

Principal Baruti Kafele has been a highly-regarded ur-

ban public school educator in New Jersey for over
twenty years, he has also distinguished himself in the
classroom and as a school leader. As an elementary
school teacher in East Orange, NJ, he was selected
as the East Orange School District and Essex County
Public Schools Teacher of the Year. As a principal, he
led the transformation of four different schools, includ-
ing the mighty Newark Tech, which went from a low- Click
performing school in need of improvement to recogni-
tion by U.S. News and World Report Magazine three
here to
times as one of America's best high schools. register!

ENHANCING PRINCIPAL CAPACITY
- CLARENCE WILLIAMS

Wednesday, November 15th

9AM4PM
(@Region 10)

Principals are responsible for several educational and admin-

istrative tasks in their school, as well as held accountable to a
large extent for the academic achievement of students. The
principal ensures academic success by collaborating with
teachers to enhance their instructional capacity and to assess
the impact of their effectiveness as they work towards im-
provement of student achievement. With the ultimate goal of
teachers peer coaching and learning from each other. The
question becomes what is the principal's role in establishing a
culture of continuous improvement and a climate that adults
not only facilitators but learners as well?
