Sustainable Leadership: How Do We Do This Work and Still Sleep at Night?

We go into leadership committed to making a difference for our communities. You soon realize that there are so many more expectations—spoken and unspoken—than you imagined. And then, there are the extra hard years, of pandemic, or shifting enrollment. How do you do this work and still sleep at night? By engaging in the personal work of leadership and empowering others to lead with you. Drawing on her experience as a principal leading a small school through closure, Dr. Toogood shares leadership stories and practices for deepening self-awareness, leading with intention, and cultivating connection and celebration in difficult times. You will leave this session equipped to prioritize your wellbeing and engage in care-full leadership for thriving communities.
