Bay of Plenty Assistant & Deputy Principals’ Conference

In November 2019 Inbox Design were proud to attend and present at the Bay of Plenty AP/DP Conference at Mills Reef Winery.

We had good feedback from our presentation and a range of questions which we were able to answer and provide solutions for, and now planning enhancements to our products to further assist you in working smarter, not harder.

Following our presentation Jenny L Ferrier-Kerr, Senior Lecturer, University of Waikato talked about Leadership Coaching. Dr, Professor Mere A Berryman, University of Waikato and Director of Poutama Pounamu spoke about Relational and Responsive Inclusion.

Contact Robert Gilbert for a copy of his slides.
