The leader we are purposed to be is often challenged by the leader we are pressured to be. The educational breakthrough our communities deserve will only happen with collective clarity on why we lead, a relational approach to how we lead, and a keen focus on who we are leading. You’ll leave this session with principles, practices and the permission to lead on purpose with purpose!
