Thrive Through the Five
I absolutely love what I do as a school leader, but there is a small percentage of my work (and life) that is just really hard! And I don’t think I’m alone. This session will dig into some internal strategies to help us be our best, as well as some external strategies to help us lead in the best way during difficult seasons. We owe it to ourselves and everyone around us to not just survive challenging times, but to truly thrive!
