CALMfident Conversations for School Leaders
CALMfident Conversations
This is professional learning designed for your reality, practical, research-informed, and immediately applicable.
What This Is
A free, 60-minute monthly session where school leaders develop the practical skills that actually matter, boundary setting, energy management, strategic focus, and sustainable decision-making.
Not theory. Not inspiration.
This is where you learn what PQP preparation programs didn't teach you: how to lead with clarity, calm, and confidence without sacrificing your well-being in the process.
What You'll Learn
In this interactive 60-minute session, you'll:
✅ Gain one practical strategy you can implement immediately in your leadership practice
✅ Explore research-aligned approaches to [specific skill related to monthly topic]
✅ Connect with fellow school leaders navigating the same challenges you face
✅ Leave with actionable next steps—not just ideas, but a clear plan for this week
This isn't about doing more. It's about leading smarter, with intention and sustainability by design.
Who This Is For
Principals, Vice-Principals, and School Leaders ready to strengthen the skills that matter most, the ones that protect your energy, sharpen your focus, and sustain your impact.
Superintendents and District Leaders exploring professional learning for your leadership teams, this is your opportunity to experience the CALMfident Leadership approach firsthand.
Whether you're new to CALMfident Leadership or you've engaged through coaching, keynotes, or webinars, this is your consistent, connected space to grow alongside peers who understand the unique demands of educational leadership.
Why CALMfident Conversations Matters
You're not new to leadership. But the skills that sustain leadership, boundary-setting, time reclamation, energy management, strategic focus, these are not part of Board or Superintendent professional development, yet it's a significant part of how you lead, everyday!
CALMfident Conversations fills that gap.
Each month, we focus on one high-impact leadership skill aligned with the CALM Resilience Framework:
C - Connect: Building relationships that sustain you, not just your role
A - Attitude of Gratitude: Reframing challenges with resilience and perspective
L - Learn: Growing with intention in ways that fuel, not drain you
M - Mindful Measures: Integrating well-being as leadership practice, not afterthought
This is professional learning designed for your reality, practical, research-informed, and immediately applicable.

CALMfident Collective; for School Leaders Committed to Leading with Calm, Clarity, and Connection
Session #4: Mindful Measures & Vitamin Me
Featuring Guest Expert: Dr. Bita Doagoo, ND
In this month’s CALMfident Collective, we’re exploring the M in the CALM Framework, Mindful Measures, and how school leaders can design well-being through the science of stress, nourishment, and daily rhythm.
As leaders, it’s easy to move from one demand to the next, often overlooking the body’s cues. Over time, this impacts focus, mood, and our ability to lead with calm and clarity.
Join Vinita Mongia, creator of CALMfident Leadership, and Dr. Bita Doagoo, ND, naturopathic doctor specializing in stress and burnout, to explore:
✨ The mind-body connection between stress, nutrition, and leadership performance
✨ Naturopathic approaches for restoring energy, focus, and balance
✨ Simple, science-informed strategies to design your leadership rhythm with purpose and calm
A practical, inspiring session to help you move beyond “pushing through”, and lead from a place of balance, vitality, and well-being.
What is the CALMfident Collective? A free monthly drop-in space for school leaders to connect, reflect, and grow alongside others who understand the role and the pressure. Together, we will strengthen leadership skills that protect your energy, sharpen your focus, and support your well-being, by design.
This space is designed to explore practical leadership skills and real-time pivots and actionable next steps.
Each month, we focus on a high-impact leadership skill that support your productivity, effectiveness, and well-being, so you can lead with clarity, calm and confidence.
Why the CALMfident Collective Matters
You’re not new to leadership, and you’re not alone in its challenges.
The CALMfident Collective is designed for school leaders like you: those who’ve engaged with me through webinars, coaching, and keynotes, and who are now seeking a consistent, connected space to grow alongside peers who truly understand the role and want to lead with greater clarity.
I look forward to engaging and connecting as a thought leadership community of Principals, Vice-Principals and Superintendents, as we explore our leadership learning journey together!
It’s a space for school leaders to sharpen real skills, like boundary-setting, time management, and focus, all aligned with your well-being and productivity.
🪷 This session is free, and just 60 minutes.
Join us, reflect, recharge and lean into a supportive group of school leaders, just like you!
What to Expect
In this 60-minute interactive session, you’ll:
✅ Learn simple, actionable boundary-setting strategies tailored to the school leadership context
