Episode 175: The 2 Problems That 90% Of School Leaders Face (And How To Fix Them)

90% can be an awesome number or a terrible number. It can be an awesome number when: Your favorite team has a 90% chance of winning the championship You live in a city where 90% of the days are sunny It can be a terrible number when: 90% of the students in your Middle School have earned a detention in the last 2 weeks There is a 90% chance of rain on the morning of your annual Field Day Over the last three years, I have had conversations with over 200 private school leaders and there are two big problems that keep coming up again and again. In fact, most of the school leaders that I talk to actually struggle with both of these problems at the same time. So, on today’s episode of The Private School Leader Podcast, we are going to talk about The 2 Problems That 90% Of School Leaders Face (And How To Fix Them.)

Being a private school leader is a VERY difficult job. You have to make hundreds of decisions every day, and you have to keep everyone safe, increase enrollment, keep the parents happy, keep the board happy, motivate the teachers, deal with student discipline, beat last year’s test scores and come in under budget. That can lead to you feeling tired, discouraged and stressed out. I’ve been there. That’s why I created THRIVE Academy just for you. THRIVE Academy is a digital course that will help you get out of survival mode and get back to feeling energized at school.

Dealing with parents is part of the job as we lead our private schools, but it can quickly lead to stress, anxiety and feeling overwhelmed. That’s why I created Parent Academy! Now you have a step by step framework that will help you go from feeling stressed and anxious to feeling confident and calm. Over the last 33 years, I have built successful relationships with thousands of parents and I have packaged that knowledge into an online course. Not only that, but after I teach you, I am going to teach your teachers these strategies as well!
