Arguably, one of the hardest parts about being a school leader is finding the time to slow down and listen.  We are constantly running from fire to fire. It seems like daily, we are forced to come up with solutions on the fly, solve deep and challenging situations in minutes, and mend broken relationships while focusing on improving student outcomes. Amid all of the chaos, how do we find the time to slow down and develop clear and intentional strategies for the problems we face?

In this episode, special guest and middle school principal Demetrius Ball share his active listening strategy to solve a problem purposefully.

From this episode, you'll learn:

• 3 Simple techniques for becoming a good active listener.
• What it means to be a black male educator and leader.

Bonus:

• We have some fun with the Principal's Rapid Fire Questions.
