    Pleasure Is Not Irresponsible

    As an educator and school leader, it’s easy to get caught up in the endless demands of the job - pleasing your staff, students, parents, and district, putting out fires, and chasing external metrics of success. We think experiencing pleasure and delight in our work is irresponsible, but this week, I challenge the deeply ingrained belief that feeling good is at odds with being a committed, effective school leader.   Hear my own journey of breaking free from the "pleasure is irresponsible" mindset, and what happens when you do the same. Learn how the unspoken rules you’re currently believing may be holding you back from truly thriving as a leader, and how intentionally flipping the script will create positive change for your entire school community.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://angelakellycoaching.com/360

    The Feel Good Goal

    Leaders are often obsessed with “doing,” and this approach comes with a certain kind of hustling or forcing energy. People forcefully create results in their lives all the time, but is that the way you want the experience of school leadership to feel?    Join me this week as I explore the concept of "feel good goals" and how balancing masculine and feminine energy can help you create a more fulfilling and impactful leadership experience. I also share a powerful insight from a coaching conversation I had with a client where she realized that by shifting her focus from what teachers are doing to how they are feeling, she could transform her approach to instructional leadership.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://angelakellycoaching.com/359

    Retirement Resistance

    Many educators struggle with the decision to stay or go, feeling a profound sense of commitment to their work even when it's no longer serving them. That’s why this week, I explore the concept of retirement resistance and how it can keep principals trapped in a cycle of burnout and dissatisfaction.   Whether you're considering retirement or a career change, this episode will help you gain clarity on your motivations and empower you to make a decision that aligns with your values and goals. I share insights from a client who recently made the decision to retire after years of feeling torn about it, and show you how to imagine your life outside of education and take back agency over your time and energy.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://angelakellycoaching.com/357

    School Scores

    Do you ever feel discouraged or distraught by your school's performance score? As a principal, it's easy to take these ratings very personally and let them define your sense of success or failure as a leader. If you find yourself getting caught up in the trap of chasing perfection or letting a low score define your worth as a leader, this episode is for you.    I provide some perspective on school scores and how they can impact your mental and emotional well-being as a principal. Your school score does not define you, your staff, your students, or your school. In this episode, I invite you to focus on the sufficiency of where your school is at right now and celebrate the progress you're making.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://angelakellycoaching.com/356
