About the Book

Elevated Conversations by Dr Simon Breakspear offers a practical toolkit for educators seeking to transform their collaborative meeting times from draining, unfocused sessions into purposeful, energising discussions. Drawing from years of experience working with thousands of educators, Simon presents seven field-tested conversational tools designed to help team leaders facilitate more meaningful professional conversations while reducing their preparation workload. The book addresses a common challenge in education: making the most of limited collaborative time when everyone is already stretched thin. Developed through extensive collaboration with educators and refined through feedback from diverse teaching professionals, this book provides ready-to-use templates and structured approaches that any team member can implement. Rather than prescribing exact content for meetings, this toolkit focuses on powerful frameworks that elevate discussion quality, stimulate fresh thinking, strengthen team connections, and drive tangible improvements in educational practice. The book serves as a practical facilitator playbook that transforms the way educators engage in professional dialogue, moving teams from what Simon calls 'weary talk' to truly elevated conversations.

Review :
'A book that blends practical simplicity with deep insight. Breakspear brilliantly demystifies collaboration, and provides simple, powerful tools that spark meaningful dialogue, deepen reflection, and will shift meetings from the mundane to the transformational.' John Hattie, Laureate Professor Emeritus, Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne 'Elevated Conversations is superb - it's deeply rooted in the realities of team behaviours and provides a brilliant set of tools and strategies to help teams to be more effective. More than that, it offers a whole new way of thinking about how we use our time together.' Tom Sherrington, Director, Teaching Walkthrus 'Ask any teacher or school leader what they would like more of, and the answer is almost always the same: time. Elevated Conversations is a powerful reminder that impact comes not from having more time but from using it more wisely. This book delivers a fresh perspective on how we can make a difference with the moments of professional connection we have.' Nicole West, Principal, Inglewood Primary School, Western Australia 'In the personal world of teaching with dozens of conversations a day, it can be embarrassing to think we might need help to do them better. Elevated Conversations provides simple and yet powerful tools with step-by-step guidance enabling us all to make our collaborative work more impactful and a real driver for sustained success.' Courtney Howard, Principal, Cambridge Primary School, Tasmania
