Hey Reader! In 2016, the school I founded hit a big milestone: we expanded into 8th grade and had to get our high school plan ready to launch. High school is pretty complicated especially when it comes to course offerings, credits and sequencing– So we took on a big change: new curricula for our 7th/8th grade core subjects. It made sense on paper– but in real life it was a hot mess. 🤦🏻♀️ Not all at once, and not overnight– but having a lot of our staff (and students) trying to do something differently at the same exact time… Frustration, tears, resentment, conflict all become a regular part of everyday life. Not fun. Here’s the part that I didn’t know then–but I do now. The struggle had nothing to do with how hard I was working. (so so hard) We weren’t getting traction because my solutions were not fixing the right problem. I was doing all the things:
And did not see the progress I wanted. At all. It was SO discouraging. 😞 What I didn’t understand then—and what I see all the time now—is that leaders often work incredibly hard while solving the wrong problem. Reader, if you know that discouraging feeling–trying all the things and not seeing progress–I designed a free 1-hour masterclass for you. It's live for an hour, with three date/time options:
I can’t wait to get into this masterclass and walk you through the repeatable process you can use to figure out what’s actually getting in the way-- so you can take the next step that gets you the progress you want to see. You will leave with:
Live Bonus: If you show up live, I’ll send you my ready-to-use pack of 10+ scripts and prompts for tricky leadership moments, like:
I know you’re pressed for time and you have a million things on your to-do list already–which is why I’ve designed this so that I can confidently promise that you will leave with a clear diagnosis and the right step. Also, you should know this 👇... We are not going to talk about working harder, communicating more, or adding a whole new pile of things for you to manage. Instead, we’ll get strategic: make a pinpoint diagnosis, so your next step actually builds momentum. The process I walk you through works whether you're leading a major change like I was or just trying to get one thing to go differently. Can't wait to see you soon! Take care, Beth P.S. Can’t decide now? You’ll get the replay if you register for any date. The live bonus 🎁 is only for live attendees–and it’s designed to be immediately useful.

Hey Reader,Anyone else stay up too late on Sunday night watching the Oscars? 🥱 I love movies, and cultural touchstones, and this hits both– Sure, it’s past my bedtime, but a great excuse to try and see as many Best Picture nominations as possible (I managed Sinners, One Battle After Another, Marty Supreme, and Frankenstein)-- and check out everyone dressed super glam while sitting on my couch in my sweats. I’ve been dragging a little all week, physically tired but also culturally connected–...
Dear Reader! What does leading a school or nonprofit have to do with leading a nation? A whole lot, it turns out. When I was in London last week with my kids for their mid-winter break, we went to the fascinating Churchill War Rooms. (Have you been? I’d love to hear–if not, I highly recommend a visit.) This quote describing the atmosphere of the team working on this seems like a descriptoon of a dream work environment to me! Over the last 16 months, I’ve kind of gotten into World War...
Hi Reader! As I write this, I'm hurtling in a metal tube 34,980 feet above the Atlantic Ocean going 625 mph... wait, I'm scaring myself--oops. Deep breath. Hi from an airplane ✈️ as I take my kids on mid-winter break vacation. A few flight credits and a United sale means we're headed to London for a few days. 💂 I'm excited! All carry-on bags and everyone was ready for the 5:45 a.m. Lyft 5 minutes early.. it's a new era in travelling with my kids and I'm ready for it (and hopefully did not...
