Hi Reader! The last few weeks have been a whirlwind and have honestly kind of kicked my butt a bit, including...
Professionally, I did a mid-year stepback, was so pumped to facilitate this with a dear friend and I wrapped up two big projects the last week of school. I'm using the summer to plan some exciting ways to serve leaders that are coming together slowly-- and it's my birthday Monday! π A few months ago, I promised myself I would share something with you before my birthday. I've been working on it for a few years, and have been using with clients behind the scenes to help them level up their leadership. I've mentioned it in some of my leadership lifts, and on calls, but not broadly and I promised myself that by my birthday, I would share it publicly. It's a framework for how to lead through layers: four major domains you need to follow to help you build clarity, unity, predictability, then sustainability. It's been incredibly helpful to leaders and has so much rich learning inside of it. You'll hear a lot more from me on this--what each of the four stages means, the moves embedded in each domain, how to translate this practically into real life and leadership. I really wanted to do a lot of this with the unveil, in a grand way, with lots of fun resources--- but in the spirit of not letting perfect be the enemy of the good, I'm sharing it here, so you can check it out. I'd LOVE to hear your thoughts, questions, reactions and what resonates.
I'm sure there are ways this can be more clear--or topics that you want to know more about--or just reactions you'd have and I welcome them all. Any reactions and thoughts would be an early birthday gift to me if you're inclined π I'm taking Monday off to celebrate the big 4-8, but I'm excited to be back later next week with some ways I want to celebrate with you and of course more to come on this framework I'm so excited about! Take care, Beth ps. Seriously, excited to hear what you think--hit reply and let me know. Since I'm giving you very little context I'm eager to hear your gut reaction! π Leadership LiftsGet actionable strategies in 30 minutes, with practical tools you can use right away. Register for an upcoming session here! |
Leadership can be exhilarating and isolating--sometimes in the same hour! Twice a week, I share practical insights and real-world stories to help you tackle challenges with clarity, strengthen your team, and grow into the leader you want to be.
Dear Reader, A few weeks ago I went to the grand opening of the new building for the school I founded, which opened in 2013 with 113 fourth and fifth graders. When the first class graduated from 12th grade in 2021, I graduated as well, starting my small business working to help PK-12 school leaders navigate organizational shifts and transitions, ensuring their teams are aligned and effective so their students thrive. Iβve been in touch but I tried to give my amazing successor some space: when...
Iβve been a big reading nerd since I was in single digits βand as I packed for the end-of-summer trip , I brought so many books I got from recommendation listsβ so many my oldest complained (rightfully π€£) about how much weight my books added to the suitcase. It inspired me to share the love and write a similar book recommendation list for you: I'd love to hear if you've read any of these, what you thought, and what you'd add to the list! The Correspondent: my best friend heard about this and...
Hey Reader! Last Thursday, my kids and I flew to Chicago to celebrate my dad's birthday on Sunday before we left for our bigger summer adventure Monday. But Friday--the middle and high school I founded hosted the grand opening of their new building--- and their first all-class Alumni Reunion--organized and funded by alums. π The first class graduated a little over five years ago-- which is when I transitioned to my coaching and consulting business and I deliberately stepped back-- as Founder...
