There tend to be two camps of principals – the data-driven principals and the data-avoidant principals. Some of us get consumed with data and love it, whilst others of us freak out about it. I was in the avoidant camp for a long time, but this week, I offer you a balanced approach to data.

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.

We're approaching the end of the school year which means you've got testing energy, spring fever energy, and exhaustion. You're tasked with not only managing your own emotions, but your staff, students, parents, and school board's emotions too.

As a school leader, you need to be able to hold a conversation and maintain your emotional stability while allowing someone else to have an emotional reaction. 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.

The majority of what you do as a school leader is make decisions. Many principals don't fully trust in their decisions or sit in indecision due to fear. I want to offer a few thoughts about making decisions that will transform your leadership.

This week, I'm joined by one of my very special clients, Rebecca. She has been a school leader in a rural district in Ohio for just over a decade now. But it's only in the past year that Rebecca has taken ownership and control over her time and her calendar.

She's discussing the specific work we've done together, how she's implemented it in her work, and how she's changed her dynamic with her entire team so she can have a light and empowered experience as a school leader instead of feeling weighed down and burdened by her day-to-day.
