About Casey
I am Casey Watts, founder of Casey Watts, Coaching & Consulting, LLC. I am a School Impact Strategist as well as a school-based instructional specialist in East Texas. I received my Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on Elementary Education and my Master's Degree of Education from Stephen F. Austin State University. Over the past several years, I have focused my research and work on effective collaboration that leads to collective efficacy. In this work, I have recognized the importance of the components that are absolutely necessary for cohesive, vision-driven teams. In my experience, I have realized that this is possible, even when you feel overwhelmed with resistance and roadblocks.
I am a visionary, conversationalist, and strategist with wonder and invention as my two working geniuses. This helps me to ask the right questions, ponder potential possibilities, and help teams create a vision for their organization or school. It also means that I'm able to invent and script the critical moves alongside teams that will move them along the trajectory toward the vision crafted! Clarity work, paired with identity work and collaboration work, are what build the cohesive, vision-driven teams that make sustainable change happen!

Three Things Every Data Leader Needs to Know to Navigate Difficult Conversations
Too many leaders step into their roles without the training needed to navigate the complex world of  decision-making. How can we equip leaders to engage in crucial conversations that promote clarity, transparency, and commitment rather than resistance and confusion? Â
This session will equip participants with practical strategies for leading reflective, productive team discussions that inspire action and foster a culture of continuous improvement. Whether you’re a current or aspiring leader, you’ll walk away with tools to facilitate meaningful dialogue, overcome common communication pitfalls, and turn tough conversations into opportunities for growth.
