In educational leadership, survival is often mistaken for resilience. They are not the same. Survival says, I made it through. Resilience asks, What did this season teach me? How did it change me as a leader?

When I first heard about executive coaching for educational leaders, I'll admit I was skeptical.

After two rounds of burnout as a Director of Special Education, I learned some hard lessons about leadership.

We all get into tough spots in this work and difficult conversations comes with the territory. Having self-awareness sets the path to move forward.
