Purposefully pausing and reflecting paves the way for improvements and adjustments to be made in the upcoming school year. Join Dr. Janet Pilcher as she interviews Dr. Kathy Oropallo, a Leader Coach at Studer Education, to hear how she coaches her partners to evaluate the effectiveness of past strategies, celebrate wins, and address challenges. Kathy explains how tools like leader rounding and plus delta capture real-time data and shares insights on how she coaches leaders to move from reflection to action.

This episode addresses questions such as:

• What are the most important steps of the reflection process?
• How can leaders evaluate the effectiveness of past strategies?
• How can the insights gained during the reflection process be translated into actionable steps to take?
