How much innovation do you incorporate into your leadership? How much do you expect your leader to innovate as they grow? That's the theme for this episode where I’m joined by educator and the Dean of the School of Applied Digital Technology at Southern Alberta Institution for Technology, who discusses leadership in education, and where innovation truly comes into play.

Cherie is all about achieving excellence in leadership and she does this with passion, energy, and enthusiasm in abundance! 

• Who should watch/listen: Educators, leaders in the education sector, women in technology, and anyone interested in leadership and innovation. 
• Your transformation: You will gain insights into effective leadership practices, the importance of innovation in education, and strategies for overcoming personal and professional challenges. 
• By not watching/listening: You'll miss out on valuable lessons from a seasoned leader who has successfully navigated the challenges of being a woman in tech and education. 

Key takeaways:

• Despite being naturally shy, Cherie overcame her fears through practice and perseverance.
• The importance of innovation in education cannot be understated, particularly in integrating technology and gamification into learning.
• Leadership must focus on building a community and culture rather than just delivering information.
• Cherie advocates for early exposure and opportunities for young women in tech to normalize their presence and interest in the field.
• The rapid pace of technological advancement requires educational institutions to be agile and adaptable, ensuring curricula remain relevant.
