I know it's an incredibly unsettled time and this week I'm inviting you to take 5 minutes to think about how you lead in times of uncertainty and stress.

As school leaders it's easy to get on the roller coaster of doing and getting stuff done, but that doesn't allow us time to stop, reflect and make choices about how we want to show up.

Discovering your unique mix of strengths, values and habits is essential to quality leadership. What are those habits that make you, you?

What's guiding and inspiring you to keep showing up as the human and leader you aspire to be?

Let me tell you a story... about a messy, frustrating and painful moment in my career that turned out to be a launching point for a whole new approach to leadership. Download a copy of the Authentic Leader's Manifesto and map your own leadership development using the Authentic Leader's Roadmap. (See link below)

Leaders are people who strive bravely to show up as the best version of themselves and to help others do the same. There's no getting away from the fact that leaders are complex, imperfect humans, just like everyone else! So how do you manage your messy humanness and still show up as the best version of yourself?

In this episode I want to share a story with you about my goal of becoming the perfect leader and how that turned out for me!

In this episode we get real about self care. I introduce you to your Self Care Tank and invite you to think about simple, low or no cost self care solutions that you can draw on daily.
