Ever wonder why certain times of the year turn your school into an emotional pressure cooker? In this essential episode, we dive into the heart of one of education's most challenging aspects - managing the complex web of emotions that flow through your school building. Whether you're dealing with resistance to new initiatives, supporting staff through personal crises, or trying to maintain your own emotional balance as a leader, this episode offers practical strategies that actually work.

You'll discover why some teachers coming to you with their concerns might actually be a good sign (even though it doesn't always feel that way), and learn concrete techniques for supporting your staff without taking on their emotional burden.

For principals looking to build a more emotionally intelligent and resilient school culture while preserving their own well-being, this episode provides the roadmap you've been searching for.
