Getting Yourself to Plan in Advance
There are times when I'm super planned and organized, feeling ahead of the game, and other times when unexpected things pop up that I hadn't planned for, leaving me feeling behind. If getting yourself to plan in advance brings up dread and resistance for you, know that you're not alone. The good news is that initiating momentum is the hardest part, and I’m showing you how.
Learn how to get yourself to plan in advance so you can become an even more valuable principal and leader. I’m sharing the context of a recent coaching conversation to give you a feel for the support you can receive, and how I helped this client plan in advance and feel great about it.

When You Feel Taken Advantage Of
If you identify as someone who gets taken advantage of or generally feel like people approach you with the intent to hurt you, listen in. Usually, when we feel taken advantage of, we either dismiss it or stew on it, and both options hold us back. This is a very disempowered way to lead and live your life, so what can we do about it?
Learn how to take ownership of your empowerment so you don’t ever have to feel taken advantage of. I’m sharing a list of questions to consider when you feel taken advantage of, the choices available to you if you want to keep that relationship, and my top tips for protecting yourself so you don’t have to live with this identity any longer.

Allowing an Urge
Does it feel like your urges have complete control over your life? Are you eating more than you’d like? Do you find yourself staying up watching Netflix when you said you would go to bed earlier? Are you answering emails, even when you said you wouldn't check them?
Hear why, while we can’t extinguish our urges, we can allow them without responding. I’m sharing how you might be strengthening your urges, why acknowledging and identifying where your urge is coming from is the key to creating change, and what becomes possible when you learn how to hold space for your urges.

Let Ease Come to You
If you’ve ever felt spun out by your drive to get ahead of the game, whether professionally or personally, know that you’re not alone. The energy of being swift about our actions and wanting to do the right thing can feel empowering, but if you look underneath the surface, you might see that it’s not coming from an entirely clean place.
I share one simple but profound sentence that can change your leadership experience completely. I’m inviting you to question whether what you desire could be possible with ease, what it means to let ease come to you, and how you can begin inviting ease into your thoughts, feelings, actions, and results.

Thoughts About Data
There tend to be two camps of principals – the data-driven principals and the data-avoidant principals. Some of us get consumed with data and love it, whilst others of us freak out about it. I was in the avoidant camp for a long time, but this week, I offer you a balanced approach to data.
I show you how to stop giving data more power over you than it deserves, and how to start seeing it as neutral. Find out the reason we don’t like to look at data, and how to start viewing it differently to help you make decisions and take actions that you believe are the next best step for you, your students, and your staff.

Customer Reviews
Excellent
Great content that I appreciate and regularly apply in the middle of my days as a school leader. Love that Ángela frequently goes back to thinking about our live holistically and to thinking about our thinking.
Highly Recommend
I just completed my 3rd year as Principal as a PreK-8 magnet school and this podcast has helped me so much through all the ups and downs of this crazy job! I highly recommend this podcast!
Forever motivating
The Empowered Principal Podcast is a must listen. During the onset of the pandemic I began listening to many podcasts in search of anything to get me through leading a school through a global pandemic. While I enjoyed a variety of topics, I’m so grateful to have landed here. Angela’s real school examples, her enthusiasm and energy are forever motivating for me. After a few episodes I was hooked and signed on as a client for 1:1 coaching. Best decision I have made while navigating school leadership while dealing with some pretty stressful life stuff. Will be using the STEAR cycle as I move into a new life chapter!
