Are you struggling to find time for professional growth? Sustainable leadership requires continuous learning, but a busy school leader's day rarely allows for hours of uninterrupted study. This episode shifts the focus from all-day professional development to micro-learning: targeted, quick bursts of professional engagement strategically integrated into your daily flow. We're providing just-in-time, just-for-me strategies to keep your leadership sharp, relevant, and consistently renewed. Key Takeaways:

• Create a 5-Minute Resource Feed: Curate resources based on identified growth areas (e.g., conflict resolution) and scan them during your first coffee or the last 5 minutes of the day.
• Integrate Drive-Time PD: Transform your commute by swapping passive listening for targeted audio content, like short summaries or relevant podcast segments.
• Pair a Problem with a Resource: When facing a challenge (e.g., classroom management), immediately dedicate 10 minutes to reading a short, relevant article for instant retention and transfer.
• Make Learning Out Loud a Habit: Consciously share one new insight daily to reinforce your own learning and model a culture of continuous growth for your staff, similar to the process outlined in The Art of Coaching.
