Ep #281: When You Feel Taken Advantage Of May 16, 2023

Show notes

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.

Ep #280: Allowing an Urge May 09, 2023

Show notes

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.

Ep #279: Let Ease Come to You May 02, 2023

Show notes

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.

Ep #277: Thoughts About Data Apr 18, 2023

Show notes

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.

Ep #275: How to Manage Staff Emotions Apr 04, 2023

Show notes

We're approaching the end of the school year which means you've got testing energy, spring fever energy, and exhaustion. You're tasked with not only managing your own emotions, but your staff, students, parents, and school board's emotions too.

As a school leader, you need to be able to hold a conversation and maintain your emotional stability while allowing someone else to have an emotional reaction. I show you how to leverage emotions as a leadership tool, what happens when you don't acknowledge the power of emotions, and an instrument for understanding and managing staff emotions.

Ep #274: Making Decisions Mar 28, 2023

Show notes

The majority of what you do as a school leader is make decisions. Many principals don't fully trust in their decisions or sit in indecision due to fear. I want to offer a few thoughts about making decisions that will transform your leadership.

Hear how to make decisions through the filter of your future goals and values rather than fear. I'm showing you why you become a stronger, more empowered leader when you become practiced at making decisions, what happens when you don't trust your decisions, and how to cultivate courage in your decision-making.

Ep #272: Not Your People Mar 14, 2023

Show notes

Our brains love to focus on the teachers who refuse to follow your lead, the parent who comes in raging at you, or the district admin who consistently fails to support you. But the great news is these are not your people.

Discover why we often focus on the people who aren't our people, and how to begin training our brains out of this habit. You'll hear how there is an abundance of people who are your people, and why being authentically yourself is the key to finding them.
