The key to the Forums' remarkable success is creating a supportive psychological and emotional safe space for participants. This allows open and honest discussions in which members share their greatest challenges and opportunities with peers and develop effective solutions together. The Forums employ a proven structured, defined process that prompts participants to advise and encourage their colleagues, hold each other accountable, and ultimately form bonds of trust.

Principals and Superintendents face the same heavy burdens of leadership, facing big decisions under severe pressure with high visibility and, in the case of school leaders, high levels of public accountability. I have received glowing testimonials from Forum members. The supportive relationships formed often sustain leaders in their careers, often in the face of daunting circumstances.
The forum experience has been a great asset to me professionally and personally. Meeting with colleagues allows me a "safe" place to discuss goals and action steps that have allowed me to grow in my professional career. The experience is well worth the time, money, and effort each year.
I was overwhelmed by the hectic pace of the new district, numerous new initiatives the district wanted to implement.....this group has been worthwhile and beneficial to me both personally and professionally. In closing, my experience with Yancy Forums has been in a word: priceless.
