Episode Details

In my 33 year career as a private school leader, I can look back on many challenging moments and many joyful moments.

There was a stretch of about 15 years that was extremely challenging and extremely joyful. Those were the years when I was the Head of School and my daughters were students.

You might remember Episode 16: When Your Children Attend The School That You Lead. That episode focused on you as the leader. Today, I want to shift the focus to your children. On today’s episode of The Private School Leader Podcast, we are going to discuss How To Help Your Child Navigate Being "The Principal's Kid"

I know that you are super busy, so be sure to listen while you are doing something else. I hope that you will get value from this episode as you serve and lead your school community. Thank you for taking some time out of your day to listen to the podcast!

Thanks for making a difference,

Being a private school leader is a VERY difficult job. You have to make hundreds of decisions every day, and you have to keep everyone safe, increase enrollment, keep the parents happy, keep the board happy, motivate the teachers, deal with student discipline, beat last year’s test scores and come in under budget.

That can lead to you feeling tired, discouraged and stressed out. I’ve been there. That’s why I created THRIVE Academy just for you. THRIVE Academy is a digital course that will help you get out of survival mode and get back to feeling energized at school. To learn more, go to www.theprivateschoolleader.com/thrive

I help my clients overcome imposter syndrome, set boundaries between work and home and how to actually get important things done instead of having your day ruled by the tyranny of the urgent. Sounds impossible right? It’s not. I can teach you how to make it possible.
