Description

It is so fun to talk with kindred spirits! That’s what the inaugural episode of TTE’s Season 3 is: an interview with Jim and Story Leonard, founders of Coaching@Altitude and two extraordinary coaches who share a lot of wisdom and insight into the lives and worlds of school administrators (and, therefore, of teachers, students, and schools)

We talk about

* working with senior administrators in independent schools (relevant for public school leaders, too)

* working with school trustees!! (God, boards can be so difficult)

* the energy model

* combating toxic school cultures

* managing interpersonal conflict

Even non-teachers will enjoy this discussion. Because managing relationships, being our best selves especially under conditions of stress, and getting life-changing support are relevant for everyone! I hope you like it — and…

welcome to a new school year and TTE’s Season 3!!
