Mr. Brewer served as an award-winning principal at both the secondary and elementary school levels.

Recognized as the NAESP Nationally Distinguished Principal and Virginia Principal of the Year, he was also honored with the VAESP School Bell Award and ASCD Virginia Impact Award.

Under his leadership, his elementary school was recognized as a Nationally Distinguished Title 1 School, and Hamish has since gone on to turn around one of the toughest middle schools in the state of Virginia. Mr. Brewer is a highly sought-after international keynote speaker – motivating and inspiring audiences around the world, including being recognized as a TEDx speaker.

Originally from New Zealand, Hamish earned his first degree from the University of Auckland. Mr. Brewer is currently a doctoral student at Virginia Tech University. Hamish is the best-selling author of “Relentless – Disrupting The Educational Norm, published in 2019.

Dr. Quintin Shepherd
Dr. Quintin Shepherd, a true visionary for the future of education, is the Superintendent at Victoria Independent School District in Victoria, TX. When he came to Victoria, his first priority was to listen to the voice of the community, parents, staff and students, and he then invited those stakeholders to be a part of shaping the future of the District. Today, the members of those groups continue to work collaboratively with District leadership to make recommendations to support the current and future needs of Victoria students and the community. Dr. Shepherd focuses on the practice of compassionate leadership and expressing vulnerability, and he believes that’s why radical transparency works.

He brings inspiration, hope and valuable insights about how we can transform the way we lead school districts by modifying our approach to some of the most basic leadership practices, which he shares in his new book: The Secret to Transformational Leadership. Within the book, he considers how some leaders are able to connect with their communities, followers and stakeholders, while others struggle. This guiding question sets the stage for a discussion on the language of leadership and the need for our language to evolve.
