Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Does your staff vibe have a buzz to it?

Would you love to be part of an organisation where you and your colleagues work together in a compelling environment focused on teaching and learning? Perhaps you already are, but feel you could co-create even more with greater cooperation, understanding and positive challenge.

The Buzz is not your average educational text. But you will learn a lot about yourself, your colleagues and collaborating to build capacity and engage in topics that really matter.

Through a model called Learning Intelligence, educator, graphic facilitator and speaker Tracey Ezard encourages you to enjoy the journey towards producing a workplace with a real buzz. She uses storytelling and lots of graphics to help you reflect, analyse and plan the steps.

The Buzz arises from Tracey's many years observing and identifying the key elements present in a thriving, engaged staff learning community - ones with the buzz. Through growing with the buzz, schools and organisations all over Australia are achieving far more than they ever dreamed.

Tracey is well known for her high energy, interactive and engaging style. She uses visual tools to increase the collaboration and 'stickiness' of the work being discussed and gets leaders the momentum they need for improvement. She works with boards, leaders, executives and teams to help organisations get the drive they seek. An in demand keynote speaker, Tracey inspires & challenges her audiences to think differently about how they connect and commit at a deeper level. Conference organisers have described her as invitational yet challenging. As a speaker, author, educator and mentor, Tracey brings to any group she works with a range of models and positions that will spark the new thinking and discussion that needs to continue evolving in a complex and diverse global paradigm.
