If you’ve ever felt spun out by your drive to get ahead of the game, whether professionally or personally, know that you’re not alone. The energy of being swift about our actions and wanting to do the right thing can feel empowering, but if you look underneath the surface, you might see that it’s not coming from an entirely clean place.

I share one simple but profound sentence that can change your leadership experience completely.

I show you how to stop giving data more power over you than it deserves, and how to start seeing it as neutral. Find out the reason we don’t like to look at data, and how to start viewing it differently to help you make decisions and take actions that you believe are the next best step for you, your students, and your staff.

I show you how to leverage emotions as a leadership tool, what happens when you don’t acknowledge the power of emotions, and an instrument for understanding and managing staff emotions.
