Show Highlights
Transform a toxic culture by honestly investigating your own experience to avoid creating expectations that push people to be compliant. Simple and effective practical tips for schools to show that they see, hear, and love their students. Leadership coaching stops you from being a firefighter and starts you on a path towards ensuring you can go and do that work.  Focus on 3 primary tenets to travel the Road to Awesome with 6 things that are important to leaders. Leaning into Leadership will help you create a culture of celebration. Stop looking for the “red cars” in your school and start training your mind to look for the great things in your school. Nurture your relationships and stop pretending to listen and build systems that can be delegated.   
“As a school leader, as the principal, my really biggest job was to grow and coach everybody else in that school, grow and coach my teachers, grow and coach my leaders, grow and coach my support staff so that we were doing everything we could for kids.”
