Becoming the New School Boss
A practical, six-session live training for new and aspiring school leaders who want to lead with confidence, clarity, and purpose — from day one.
No one hands you a roadmap.
Stepping into school leadership is exciting — and overwhelming. Suddenly, every decision matters. Every eye is on you. You're balancing expectations from staff, parents, and the board — all while trying to define your own vision for the school.
I know because I've been there. When I first became head of school, I thought my decade of experience as a teacher and administrator would carry me through. It didn't. I found myself juggling responsibilities I had never faced before — reporting to a board, leading a large faculty, supporting a community in transition, and relocating my own family — all at once.
That experience became the foundation for my book Becoming the New Boss — and now for this training. I built it to give new school leaders the roadmap I wish I'd had.
Six sessions. A complete leadership toolkit.
Each session builds on the last — giving you a step-by-step roadmap through the critical first stages of school leadership.
Build credibility and trust quickly
Make a strong first impression with staff, students, and parents — and establish yourself as a leader worth following.
Transition into leadership with confidence
Move from teacher or assistant principal to school leader — without losing yourself or your relationships in the process.
Manage change strategically
Introduce new initiatives so your team stays aligned, engaged, and moving in the same direction.
Develop productive relationships
Build the trust and communication habits that form the foundation of effective, lasting school leadership.
Prevent burnout
Set healthy boundaries, manage your time and energy, and build a sustainable leadership practice that lasts.
Lead with authenticity and influence
Develop your unique leadership voice and learn to inspire others through character and vision — not just authority.
