Do you find yourself dreading the holidays instead of enjoying them?

Maybe it's the pressure of sending hundreds of greeting cards, hosting the perfect party, or dealing with difficult family conversations. The truth is, most of us are trying so hard to meet everyone else's expectations that we forget to ask ourselves what we actually want. And once you fall into this pattern, the holidays become more about obligation than celebration.

Join me this week as I dive into how to embrace your personal empowerment over the holidays. I share my own experiences from my days in school leadership, and a simple process for evaluating your holiday commitments and saying no to the things that don't serve you. Most importantly, you'll hear how to be the version of yourself that you want to be during the holidays.

Have you noticed an uptick in complaining at your school lately?

Maybe it's the constant venting about broken technology, construction delays, or just the general "heaviness" of the year.

But when we jump in the pool with complainers, nobody's left on the sidelines to throw a life preserver.

Tune in this week to discover a powerful approach to transform the culture of complaining into empowerment. You'll learn the exact questions to ask that flip the energy from helpless to hopeful, and how to create a complaint-free culture without dismissing legitimate concerns.

My 10-year-old niece came over the other night to bake brownies. When I asked if she'd found the recipe online, she said, "No, I just created it. I made it up and I want to try it." Her confidence in her creative ability stopped me in my tracks. Because here's what I realized: We're all born creators, but somewhere along the way, we forget.

Join me this week as I explore how we've all used this creative ability before. You'll hear why everything in life is a form of art, including leadership, how your feelings about yourself directly impact your leadership outcomes, and a powerful reframe for those moments when you feel like circumstances are happening to you rather than being created by you.
