In this episode, I’m taking a deep dive into why so many IEP teams face challenges when it comes to collaboration. While it’s easy to blame scheduling conflicts or differing opinions, the root issues often go much deeper. I’m uncovering the hidden barriers that prevent meaningful teamwork and show you how to lead your team with confidence, clarity, and compassion.
You’ll learn how to recognize the early warning signs of miscommunication, how to proactively set the tone for productive meetings, and which simple leadership tools can help you navigate even the most difficult team dynamics. Whether you’re a teacher, administrator, or service provider, this episode is packed with actionable strategies to help you build stronger, more cohesive IEP teams—while avoiding unnecessary stress and conflict.
If you’re ready to transform your next IEP meeting from tense and overwhelming to calm and collaborative, this episode is for you.

A real-time script you can use to set the tone in meetings
The free survey template that saves sanity every single time
