THE FLOURISHING SCHOOL LEADER'S FIELD GUIDE
A resource to help you reconnect with your purpose and passion
In a previous newsletter, I described the deep calling I feel to provide resources that inspire hope and recenter educators and school leaders to the deep purpose, meaning, mission, and joy that led them into education in the first place
I am convinced that:
Now more than ever, education must become a human-centered force for connection, purpose, and flourishing
The future will belong to those who are able to stay grounded in their full humanity—and help others do the same
I told you that over the coming months, I will be releasing a suite of tools, resources, and experiences designed to help you lead from a place of purpose, humanity, and hope
That is why I am THRILLED to announce the first resource has just launched……
The Flourishing School Leader’s Field Guide!

I have traveled around the country and talked with hundreds of educators and school leaders.
Leaders just like you who give everything they have—their time, heart, and energy—to the students, staff, and community they serve.
But here’s the hard truth: leadership at this level often comes at a personal cost
The constant demands
The long hours
The feeling that you’re never quite doing enough
Over time, it’s easy to lose touch with the passion and purpose that brought you into education in the first place.
As one leader told me: “I’m tired of feeling alone”
I’ve been there. And I want you to know you’re not alone.
That’s why I created The Flourishing School Leader’s Field Guide — a practical, inspiring resource designed to help you:
Reconnect with your why
Rediscover joy in your work
Protect your energy and well-being
Lead with vision, clarity, and purpose
This is not another “leadership manual” filled with theory and jargon
It’s a hands-on, heart-centered toolkit built for the reality you’re living every day.
Inside, you’ll find over 120+ pages packed to the brim with:
A Leader Self-Assessment to identify your strengths and growth areas
