Welcome back to the new school year! After the roller coaster ride of the past school year, school leaders will be bracing themselves for all kinds of challenges this year. However, what still seems to be missing is the ability to reflect: to stand back and consider issues deeply \\u2013 and to look honestly at themselves as leaders. It isn\\u2019t surprising that school leaders find this difficult, given the unparalleled changes businesses have faced in recent years.\\xa0

In today\\u2019s episode, I take a moment to remind you why you need to schedule 15-minute meetings with yourself in this new school year. A meeting with yourself can be very casual. The main point of the meeting is to set aside enough time to really reevaluate the goals you\\u2019ve set for yourself (and your team) and decide which to keep pursuing and which to move, reevaluate, or terminate altogether.

In a nutshell, I talk about:

  • How to focus on the big picture during your personal meetings.
  • Critical questions to consistently ask yourself for a better life.
  • Why you shouldn\\u2019t talk about your dreams with people whose job is to protect you.
  • How to rewire your brain to become the leader that you\'ve always wanted to be.

\\u2026 and so much more!
