Resilience

Colleagues,

Are you a middle school leader in North Carolina?

• If “no,” skip this box 😭
• If “yes,” click this link 😃

The link takes you to details for the MIDDLE GROUND: LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE NETWORK, a year-long support program with NCMLE, my good friend Darrin Peppard, and yours truly. 

The price includes two virtual conferences, winter f-t-f conference, NCMLE’s amazing annual conference in March, and extra stuff from Darrin and I – all for under $2k! Feel free to email me with questions.

MVP: You need four types of support…

We can’t grow strong in isolation, yet leadership can be isolating work. Even when you are never alone, there are some fundamental needs that are often unfulfilled.

To remain strong and resilient, we need a support system. Typically, that system has four components:

1. Our hierarchical leader who helps us navigate our current context.
2. Our peer network, who helps us take multiple perspectives (and feel heard)
3. Our advocate, who helps us stay true to our purpose
4. Our mentor, who helps us gain clarity, prioritize, and grow intentionally in ways that help us fulfill our purpose

Do you have all four? 

If not, what are your plans for filling the gaps? 

If you are a North Carolina middle school principal (or assistant principal), check out the NCMLE Leadership Excellence Network (link) to help with numbers 2 and 4.

If you are looking for a coach, I have a couple precious slots available. You can schedule a call with me here. No pressure, just want to make sure you have options.

Cheers!

Frederick
