Veteran principals sometimes share a secret that newer leaders might not expect: the work can feel repetitive, uninspiring, even boring. When you've mastered the routines of observation cycles, behavior investigations, and IEP meetings, when you've successfully calmed the chaos and created systems that work, you might find yourself wondering if this is all there is to school leadership.

If you're a veteran principal feeling disconnected from your work, you're not alone. I recently coached a highly successful principal in her fourth year who confessed she felt bored. Not overwhelmed. Not stressed. Just... blah.

If you're catching yourself thinking, "What's the point?" as you face another round of observations or another behavior investigation, this episode is for you. You'll learn why you're feeling this way, and how to bring fresh energy to your role and rediscover the excitement you felt when you first landed this position.

Have you ever lost sleep over that one teacher who seems to disagree with everything you do? Or found yourself obsessing over why certain staff members just don't seem to like you? I get it. I've been there.

In fact, I remember spending countless hours trying to win over teachers who didn't like me. Stewing over their eye rolls, analyzing their non-verbals, and desperately trying to figure out what I did wrong. The truth? I was wasting precious time and energy that could have been spent actually leading. That's why this week's episode is a game-changer.

Join me this week to learn about the 1/3 perspective: a simple but powerful framework that completely transformed how I approach relationships as a school leader. You'll discover why chasing approval from those who don't like you is actually preventing you from being an effective leader, and how accepting this natural distribution of relationships can free up your time and energy for what really matters. Most importantly, you'll learn how to use the discomfort of not being liked as curriculum for your own growth and expansion as a leader.

Does your heart rate spike when your superintendent's name pops up in your inbox?

As an educational leadership coach, I've noticed a universal pattern - that nervous feeling around authority figures. Whether it's a fear of criticism, worry about disappointing them, or anxiety about being micromanaged, these physical reactions to authority figures in education aren't just about the present moment - they're deeply rooted in patterns that shape how we show up as leaders.

Join me this week as I peel back the layers and examine what you're actually afraid of. I share the real reasons behind anxiety around your boss or superintendent, and three powerful questions that will help you understand your emotions so you can transform that anxiety into empowered leadership.
