In this episode, we're joined by Meera Shah and Amy Richards from Educational Directions, a nationally recognized consulting firm for independent schools specializing in searches for heads of schools and administrators. With Meera and Amy's help, we'll peek behind the curtain of the independent school search process. This is a big topic, so we decided to break it into two episodes. In Part I, we'll hear about Meera and Amy's personal leadership stories. We'll also discuss how to be intentional about career planning and what these search consultants wish candidates knew before, during, and after the process.
