Choose Your Change: Defining Your Authentic Leadership Path
Sep 25, 2025
Strategic Career Planning
Session Overview:
In leadership, staying in place isn’t always about standing still—it can be a choice made by default, not by design. This session challenges district leaders to examine the weight of that choice through the lens of purpose, alignment, and impact. Anchored by the reminder, “What you're not changing, you're choosing,” this interactive experience invites participants to explore the courage required to challenge traditional career narratives and redefine success beyond titles or trajectories.
Through storytelling, real-time reflection, and peer dialogue, leaders will assess how their current role aligns with their leadership values, examine the internal and external forces that shape professional decisions, and consider how to lead with greater clarity and conviction in every season of their career.
Session Objectives:
District leaders will:
• Evaluate their current role and leadership identity through the lens of purpose and alignment
• Reflect on how internal narratives and external expectations shape decision-making
• Explore courageous, values-driven approaches to professional growth
• Build strategies to lead with clarity, confidence, and long-term sustainability
