Monthly Q & A

Join Amber and/or Melinda once a month to answer any and all questions about being a principal. No topic is too small or too tough. We will tackle all the hard questions and give you feedback that will help you flourish as a school leader.

Membership Website

Maybe you don’t use Facebook. We have a membership website where everything is organized for you. The platform is called Kajabi and they recently released a mobile that will bring your content straight to your phone or other mobile devices. This is an extremely user-friendly membership site.

Private Facebook Group

Not your regular Facebook group but intentional and focused. This private group will be organized with information and ideas that are easy to find. Resources will also be migrated to a membership site platform for safekeeping.

Use Right Now Social Media Resources

Each month you will gain access to at least five social media images in the resource section. You will be able to use these right away and/or schedule them to post on specific dates.

Monthly Checklists

Not your everyday leadership checklists! These checklists will give you opportunities to promote yourself and your school. You will earn more social capital with your people than you thought possible.

Weekly Inspiration

Amber and/or Melinda will send a weekly leadership email that is actually worth opening. Unlike our regular work email. You never know what work is going to bring. However, these emails will inspire and/or remind you why you do what you do.

Copy & Paste Morale Builders

At least one, (although we’re averaging two!) COPY & CULTIVATE ideas to help build culture or morale at your campus!

Don’t forget to check out our new book Lead with Appreciation: Fostering a Culture of Gratitude at Work
