How to make tough decisions as a new school leader

One thing every new school leader needs to adapt to is the responsibility they now have to make so many decisions. But sometimes, a principal needs to make very difficult decisions and act according to the wellbeing of the entire school, and that can be incredibly stressful.

In today’s coaching, I’ll walk you through an approach I’ve used that has helped me feel confident in my decision-making process while validating the feelings and needs of my staff.

I would love to know what your takeaways are from today’s talk. Please feel free to post your comment below!

A powerful 3-step approach to conflict resolution

One of the most common questions I get asked is how to manage difficult conversations brought on by conflict. The thought of having to call back an irate parent for example can easily make your stomach churn!

In today’s coaching, I’ll offer a powerful 3-step approach to help school leaders resolve conflict - consciously! This approach has never failed me and will become a key strategy you will use in all areas of your life.

How to incorporate your strengths to improve your leadership

Do you know what your strengths are? And by strengths, I don’t mean what you're good at, but rather as Marcus Buckingham would describe it, what lights you up and sends you into a state of flow!

In today’s coaching video, I’ll be sharing a story about a principal who did just that and as a result, was able to rally her staff and quickly shift the school’s spirit and create an incredible climate.

I hope this story serves as a gentle reminder to always tap into your core strengths to help you lead with heart and consciousness.

Please feel free to share your strength with our community… and how those strengths can expand your leadership!
