How do you move from simply surviving the chaos of leadership to building a team that truly thrives together?


In this episode of Building a Culture of Collaboration, Lorna and Kurtis sit down with Andrew Marotta, a veteran school leader with 25 years of experience and a former Division 1 men’s basketball official. Andrew shares how the high-pressure world of sports officiating mirrors the complexities of school leadership and why "presence" is the key to unlocking a culture of collaboration.


We dive into the "Long Game" of leadership, exploring what to do—and more importantly, what NOT to do—when trying to build trust within your organization. Whether you are a building principal, a district leader, or an aspiring administrator, Andrew’s "Surviving & Thriving" philosophy offers practical, heartfelt strategies to #IMPACT your school culture today.


Key Takeaways:


  • The "Referees' Secret" to maintaining team alignment under pressure.
  • Why storytelling and authentic presence are more effective than compliance-driven management.
  • The most common "culture killers" that leaders should avoid.
  • Strategies for sustaining a collaborative spirit over a 25-year career.

Access a workshop guide to help your team STOP focusing on things outside of our locus of control - https://bit.ly/JLlocus

In this episode of the Building a Culture of Collaboration podcast, Kurtis is joined by Rae Hughart, CEO of "Teachers Deserve It," to discuss the uncomfortable truth about burnout and teamwork.

Many schools claim to have a culture of collaboration, but is it "real" or just "performing"? Rae shares her insights from working with 87,000+ educators on why the most successful teams aren't the ones who work the hardest, but the ones who know how to protect each other during seasons of exhaustion.

In this episode, we cover:
➡️Why collaboration starts with vulnerability, not just goals.
➡️The "Accidental Killers" of collaboration that leaders often overlook.
➡️How to move from a "giving" culture to a "receiving" culture.

About Our Guest: Rae Hughart is a TEDx speaker, award-winning educator, and author. Diagnosed with learning disabilities in her youth, she has dedicated her career to reimagining how we support both students and the teachers who serve them.

In this episode of Building a Culture of Collaboration, Kurtis is joined by Lisa Riegel, neuroscience-informed educator, author, and leadership consultant. Lisa shares how her NeuroWell Framework helps school leaders create collaborative cultures rooted in trust, psychological safety, and shared ownership.
Collaboration isn’t just about structures or meetings—it’s about how people feel, think, and regulate under pressure. Lisa dives into why many initiatives fail, how adult wellbeing impacts trust and problem-solving, and practical, brain-based strategies to move teams from compliance to genuine commitment.
Whether you’re a principal, instructional coach, or district leader, this episode offers actionable insights to help your teams think together, trust one another, and collaborate authentically.
Top takeaways:
Why psychological safety is critical for collaboration

Brain-based strategies for human-centered, resilient teams

Moving from compliance to commitment in schools

Linking adult wellbeing to collective problem-solving

In this episode of Building a Culture of Collaboration, Lorna and Kurtis are joined by Tom Kaster, former IB math teacher and founder of The Datafied Classroom, to explore how data can be used as a tool for trust instead of judgment.
Drawing on nearly 20 years in international and public schools, Tom shares how well-designed data dashboards can remove ego from conversations, shift the focus from individuals to systems, and help teams work together to better support both educators and students.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
How to use data to strengthen collaboration instead of creating fear or defensiveness
Why objective, visual dashboards can improve trust and clarity in team discussions
How MTSS and Early Warning Indicator dashboards can support shared ownership for student success
Ways leaders can use data to tap into collective expertise rather than punishment
How data-informed practices align with the philosophy of Collaborative Response
If your school or district is overwhelmed by data but hungry for meaningful action, this episode will help you rethink how data can become a catalyst for collaboration, clarity, and collective efficacy.

Access a workshop guide to ensure you are truly engaging as a team - https://bit.ly/JLgroupteam


In this episode of Building a Culture of Collaboration, Kurtis is joined by Hanna Bauer, Founder and CEO of HEARTnomics™, leadership strategist, author of Hustle with HEART, and internationally recognized expert in culture, alignment, and trust.


Hanna brings nearly three decades of leadership experience across education, business, nonprofit, and government sectors — along with a powerful personal story that shaped her understanding of collaboration long before she ever led an organization. As a teenager, her life depended on unprecedented collaboration between multiple hospitals — an experience that became the foundation for her HEARTnomics™ CORE methodology.


This episode is especially valuable for leaders and leadership teams who want collaboration to be more than a buzzword — and instead become a lived, visible part of their organizational culture.


If you’re working to build trust, clarity, and collective efficacy in your organization, this conversation will give you both insight and practical next steps.

The Emotional Truth of School Leadership: Why 'Caring' is Not Enough

To every principal, teacher, and district leader who has ever felt overwhelmed: This video is for you.

We take you inside two very different schools: Castaway Elementary, where dedicated teacher Mrs. Hart is battling student struggle alone, and Robinson Elementary, where Mrs. Gonzales and her team are thriving thanks to a powerful system of supports.

The difference isn't the effort—it's the structure. In Castaway, teachers are lone sailors battling the storm. In Robinson, they are a fleet, navigating the waters together.

If your staff meetings feel like "extensive storytelling" and your dedicated teachers are running faster and faster but going nowhere, this video is an essential reset for your professional development day.

In this talk, Kurtis Hewson uses this powerful comparison to reveal the high cost of individual islands and the life-changing impact of intentional, collaborative systems on student achievement and staff well-being.

Watch, reflect, and share this video with your staff. It’s time to turn your Castaway into a Robinson.

In this episode of Building a Culture of Collaboration, Kurtis and Lorna are joined by Dan Cox — former superintendent, endurance athlete, speaker, and founder of Endurance Edge. 


Dan shares how his experience completing multiple ultramarathons, including a 100-mile race, shaped his leadership philosophy: Joy Is a Discipline.

Dan dives into the parallels between endurance athletics and school leadership, showing how resilience, trust, and clarity are essential to building collaborative cultures. School leaders will learn how to create conditions where staff feel safe, valued, and aligned toward a shared purpose — making collaboration the natural outcome.


We discuss:

  • How endurance sports teach lessons in trust, accountability, and teamwork
  • Strategies to create collaborative school environments that thrive under pressure
  • Practical leadership tips to sustain collaboration and build resilient teams

Whether you’re a principal, superintendent, or instructional leader, this episode provides actionable insights for strengthening collaboration, engagement, and collective efficacy in your schools.


Listen now to discover how to lead teams that can truly “go the distance.”

In this episode of Building a Culture of Collaboration, hosts Kurtis and Lorna Hewson sit down with Dr. Ryan Read — educator, instructional technologist, and host of The Pixel Classroom Podcast — to explore what authentic collaboration really looks like in schools.
Dr. Read shares the inspiring story of rebuilding a middle school STEM and robotics program from the ground up — transforming a culture of silos into one of shared ownership, purpose, and trust.

💡 Key topics in this episode:
- How collaboration doesn’t start with trust — it builds trust.
- Practical ways to rebuild collaboration when teams feel disconnected.
- What authentic collaboration looks like beyond meetings and committees.
- How leaders can empower teachers and students to solve problems together.
- The role of technology in fostering teamwork and innovation.

Whether you’re a principal, instructional coach, or teacher leader, this conversation will help you create conditions where collaboration happens naturally — not just because it’s required.

In this episode of Building a Culture of Collaboration, hosts Kurtis and Lorna Hewson sit down with Dr. Ryan Read — educator, instructional technologist, and host of The Pixel Classroom Podcast — to explore what authentic collaboration really looks like in schools.
Dr. Read shares the inspiring story of rebuilding a middle school STEM and robotics program from the ground up — transforming a culture of silos into one of shared ownership, purpose, and trust.

💡 Key topics in this episode:
- How collaboration doesn’t start with trust — it builds trust.
- Practical ways to rebuild collaboration when teams feel disconnected.
- What authentic collaboration looks like beyond meetings and committees.
- How leaders can empower teachers and students to solve problems together.
- The role of technology in fostering teamwork and innovation.

Whether you’re a principal, instructional coach, or teacher leader, this conversation will help you create conditions where collaboration happens naturally — not just because it’s required.

In this episode of Building a Culture of Collaboration, Kurtis is joined by Faigie Kobre, early childhood educator, former preschool director, art teacher, and PD creator whose unique journey blends education, visual arts, and entrepreneurship.
Faigie shares why “negative and positive” art experiences are one of the most effective ways to help teachers feel what children feel… and why these same activities can bring parents and administrators on board with creative, student-centered approaches.

Faigie shares why “negative and positive” art experiences are one of the most effective ways to help teachers feel what children feel… and why these same activities can bring parents and administrators on board with creative, student-centered approaches.

Grayson has been coaching executives, boards and senior management teams improve their collaborative business performance for over 30 years. He also facilitates organizational change initiatives and provides collaborative leadership education internationally through his consulting firm, Full Contact Institute (formerly Grayson James Consultants). 

Grayson’s approach is uncommon in that he weaves together his own leadership experience with principles from martial arts, meditation, tai chi and other mind-body disciplines, along with decades of experience as an executive coach. In his spare time, he studies and teaches the martial art of Aikido (in which holds a 6th degree black belt). His new book, Full Contact Performance: The Internal Art of Organizational Collaboration will be released on August 25th and is currently available for pre-order through any online or local bookstore.

By Walking Away! Exploring a Walk and Talk Strategy - Ep 1 4 4 Summer Replay #4 Start Your Meeting... By Walking Away! Exploring a Walk and Talk Strategy - Ep 1 bonus 3da6bd1d-dab3-4f02-b4ca-6afe8f840c2a https://share.transistor.fm/s/40ee2416 In this replay, our first ever episode of Building a Culture of Collaboration, Kurtis Hewson shares a “Walk and Talk” strategy, as well as sample question cards described in the video - https://docs.google.com/document/d/14a2hxeaoCQZohhHb4kYODQLher6lnJea361nc6Hpl0k/edit?usp=sharing 

When building a culture of collaboration, engagement and connection are key.  A Walk and Talk strategy not only promotes organizational wellness, but can also provide opportunity for connection and deeper conversation.  When utilizing this strategy, there are three things every leader must consider:

1) Determine the purpose
What are you hoping to accomplish?  Did you just return from a break or holiday and need a chance for the team to connect?  Want an opportunity to reflect and share thoughts at the end of the meeting?  Don't just do it "to get outside" (although that is a great side benefit)!  Consider how the strategy can  connect to the focus for your meeting or planning day.

2) Provide questions or focus
Let people know what guiding questions or topics they should be focusing on during their conversation.  Consider giving them a questions card, such as the one shared in the video.

3) Opportunity to respond upon return
Consider how you will collect responses, insights or even further sharing upon return.  Don't let the ideas that may have surfaced drift away - collect ideas generated.

It is amazing how a change in scenery and activity can help to further develop strong connections vital for a culture of collaboration in your organization, department or team!

]]> Sat, 27 Jul 2024 07:00:00 -0400 Jigsaw Learning Jigsaw Learning 496 In this replay, our first ever episode of Building a Culture of Collaboration, Kurtis Hewson shares a “Walk and Talk” strategy, as well as sample question cards described in the video - https://docs.google.com/document/d/14a2hxeaoCQZohhHb4kYODQLher6lnJea361nc6Hpl0k/edit?usp=sharing 

When building a culture of collaboration, engagement and connection are key.  A Walk and Talk strategy not only promotes organizational wellness, but can also provide opportunity for connection and deeper conversation.  When utilizing this strategy, there are three things every leader must consider:

1) Determine the purpose
What are you hoping to accomplish?  Did you just return from a break or holiday and need a chance for the team to connect?  Want an opportunity to reflect and share thoughts at the end of the meeting?  Don't just do it "to get outside" (although that is a great side benefit)!  Consider how the strategy can  connect to the focus for your meeting or planning day.

2) Provide questions or focus
Let people know what guiding questions or topics they should be focusing on during their conversation.  Consider giving them a questions card, such as the one shared in the video.

3) Opportunity to respond upon return
Consider how you will collect responses, insights or even further sharing upon return.  Don't let the ideas that may have surfaced drift away - collect ideas generated.

It is amazing how a change in scenery and activity can help to further develop strong connections vital for a culture of collaboration in your organization, department or team!

Grayson has been coaching executives, boards and senior management teams improve their collaborative business performance for over 30 years. He also facilitates organizational change initiatives and provides collaborative leadership education internationally through his consulting firm, Full Contact Institute (formerly Grayson James Consultants). 


Grayson’s approach is uncommon in that he weaves together his own leadership experience with principles from martial arts, meditation, tai chi and other mind-body disciplines, along with decades of experience as an executive coach. In his spare time, he studies and teaches the martial art of Aikido (in which holds a 6th degree black belt). His new book, Full Contact Performance: The Internal Art of Organizational Collaboration will be released on August 25th and is currently available for pre-order through any online or local bookstore.

]]> Sat, 16 Sep 2023 11:40:26 -0400 Jigsaw Learning Jigsaw Learning 2941 In episode 8 of Building a Culture of Collaboration, we interview Grayson James. Grayson has been coaching executives, boards and senior management teams improve their collaborative business performance for over 30 years. He also facilitates organizational change initiatives and provides collaborative leadership education internationally through his consulting firm, Full Contact Institute (formerly Grayson James Consultants). 


Grayson’s approach is uncommon in that he weaves together his own leadership experience with principles from martial arts, meditation, tai chi and other mind-body disciplines, along with decades of experience as an executive coach. In his spare time, he studies and teaches the martial art of Aikido (in which holds a 6th degree black belt). His new book, Full Contact Performance: The Internal Art of Organizational Collaboration will be released on August 25th and is currently available for pre-order through any online or local bookstore.

By Walking Away! Exploring a Walk and Talk Strategy - Ep 1 1 1 Start Your Meeting... By Walking Away! Exploring a Walk and Talk Strategy - Ep 1 full e1f8bd1d-3b13-4a34-a84a-4853a9cf441e https://share.transistor.fm/s/78ee3b11 In our first ever episode of Building a Culture of Collaboration, Kurtis Hewson shares a “Walk and Talk” strategy, as well as sample question cards described in the video - https://docs.google.com/document/d/14a2hxeaoCQZohhHb4kYODQLher6lnJea361nc6Hpl0k/edit?usp=sharing 


When building a culture of collaboration, engagement and connection are key.  A Walk and Talk strategy not only promotes organizational wellness, but can also provide opportunity for connection and deeper conversation.  When utilizing this strategy, there are three things every leader must consider:


1) Determine the purpose

What are you hoping to accomplish?  Did you just return from a break or holiday and need a chance for the team to connect?  Want an opportunity to reflect and share thoughts at the end of the meeting?  Don't just do it "to get outside" (although that is a great side benefit)!  Consider how the strategy can  connect to the focus for your meeting or planning day.


2) Provide questions or focus

Let people know what guiding questions or topics they should be focusing on during their conversation.  Consider giving them a questions card, such as the one shared in the video.


3) Opportunity to respond upon return

Consider how you will collect responses, insights or even further sharing upon return.  Don't let the ideas that may have surfaced drift away - collect ideas generated.


It is amazing how a change in scenery and activity can help to further develop strong connections vital for a culture of collaboration in your organization, department or team!
