88. You Are Not The Only One: Guiding the Parents

Published: July 5, 2022, 3:33 a.m.

How do you respond to difficult situations with parents?

I know many resourceful school leaders just like you who Google solutions. But this approach is limited by what you can find on your own, and there\\u2019s always some trial-and-error involved with going it alone.

When I need new ideas and solutions, I prefer to lean into the power of community. Instead of going it alone, I ask,\\xa0\\u201cWho can help me?\\u201d

It\\u2019s not always easy to ask for help, but it\\u2019s worth it.

Seeking community opens me up to broader support to navigate difficult situations. Plus, I gain insight from wider perspectives\\u2014including people who have gone before me.

I want you to have community support too. You need it to build a school of excellence. And in this current \\u201ccancel culture\\u201d society, community is more important than ever.

This week I\\u2019m opening up a conversation with two school leaders about creating a safe space to talk about anything with parents.

In the\\xa0second episode of my new podcast series, You Are Not the Only One, we\\u2019ll explore how you can speak up to guide parents, share your center\\u2019s values, and communicate the unique vision you have for your school.

This is a conversation about:

Overcoming self-criticism and the urge to self-censor
Navigating tough situations with parents
Leaning on a community of like-minded school leaders

If you\\u2019re looking for support to navigate tough conversations and uphold your school\\u2019s values, you won\\u2019t want to miss this episode.
