Sep 25, 2025
Mastering Self-Talk & the Mental Load Harnessing Family Support
Session Overview:
Leadership in education often comes with long hours, high expectations, and the unspoken pressure to carry it all without showing the cracks. This session is designed for district and school leaders ready to break that cycle. Through honest reflection, practical tools, and peer conversation, you’ll explore strategies to prevent burnout, sustain your energy, and lead with renewed clarity and joy.

This isn’t about self-care platitudes—it’s about real, repeatable approaches to creating a healthier leadership rhythm. You’ll walk away with actionable strategies that support your well-being without guilt, so you can lead with impact and still have something left for yourself.

Session Objectives:
Participants will:
• Identify early signs of burnout and how they manifest in leadership behavior
• Learn realistic, sustainable strategies to build well-being into daily routines
• Explore systems and boundaries that support balance and prevent overload
• Create a personalized framework to sustain energy and rediscover joy in leadership
