Leader’s Lens Newsletter, by Jacob Espinoza, has been a new find since about mid-February. I love Jacob’s writing voice, and you know what? It’s so practical! The newsletter starts with a short set of statements that ABSOLUTELY apply to leadership. There is a little bit of self-care, thought-provoking questions (great daily journal prompts), and then a “Deep Dive.” The February 19 Deep Dive leaned into The 6 Heads of Leadership…powerful read and so applicable to our AWSP Mentor Program.

If you remember back to AWSP Mentor Training, we looked at an article that had mentors comparing the difference between mentoring and coaching. I know…it caused some cognitive dissonance…but that’s a good thing because it got all of you thinking about what you do actively to support your new leaders. What I really liked about the 6 Heads deep dive was the applicable tools outlined. Give it a read, I’d love to hear what you think!

Additionally, as you cruise through the website, you’ll see multiple opportunities to check out other newsletters. Are you trying to think through your communications to families? Maybe you’d be interested in checking out Tracey Wallace’s Contentment Newsletter. Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, and hanging on by a thread? Maybe you’d like to read Hebba Youssef’s “I hate it here” newsletter, lots of great nuggets here. Her most recent post on Inclusive Environments was thought-provoking. Until next time…
