This fall, TTP Global will launch a new Restorative Leadership Institute, a multi-session learning experience designed to help educational leaders move restorative practice beyond individual strategies and into the everyday work of leadership.
The Institute grew from a question that sits at the center of TTP Global’s work: What does it take for restorative practice to become part of how an organization actually operates?
Too often, restorative practices are introduced through a training, a set of tools, or a particular program. Those experiences can be valuable, but sustainable organizational change requires something deeper. Leaders need opportunities to examine how relationships, communication, decision-making, conflict, power, accountability, regulation, and organizational culture interact across the systems they lead.
The Restorative Leadership Institute creates space for that deeper work.
Over the course of the Institute, a cross-functional educational leadership team will participate in a sequence of facilitated learning sessions combining restorative practice, leadership development, systems thinking, reflection, and application. Rather than approaching each session as a stand-alone workshop, the Institute is designed as a developmental arc. Participants will have opportunities to apply ideas between sessions, return with questions and observations, and build upon their learning over time.
The Institute will draw upon TTP Global’s Restorative Ecological Model™ (REM), inviting participants to think about leadership not simply as the actions of individual leaders, but as part of a larger organizational ecosystem. How leaders communicate, respond to conflict, exercise power, build trust, regulate themselves, and make decisions all contribute to the conditions experienced by the people around them.
A central goal is to build distributed restorative leadership. Restorative practice cannot belong to one coordinator, department, consultant, or especially enthusiastic staff member. Sustainable change requires people throughout an organization who have the knowledge, relationships, and capacity to carry the work.
The Institute will be led by TTP Global Senior Practitioner Ramsay Boly, who will serve as lead facilitator throughout the series. Dr. Sherry Congrave Wilson, Founder of TTP Global, will support the Institute behind the scenes, helping steward the overall learning arc, curriculum, and connection to REM.
That structure also represents an important step in TTP Global’s own growth: developing experienced practitioners who can lead sustained organizational engagements while drawing upon the frameworks, resources, and collective knowledge of the broader TTP Global practitioner community.
For TTP Global, the Restorative Leadership Institute represents another evolution in our work—from providing restorative training to partnering with organizations over time as they build the internal conditions that allow restorative practice to take root.
Because restorative leadership is not something an organization attends. It is something an organization learns to practice.
