Leading Ideas: From the Classroom to the Sports Field

At Captains & Poets, we believe leadership starts within and shows up everywhere – in the classroom, on the field, in the boardroom, and everywhere in between. Leading Ideas invites teachers, coaches, learners, and leaders to share fresh perspectives, spark meaningful conversations and challenge our notions about what is possible when we bring ourselves more fully to the world around us.
