Inspirational leaders can transform their schools into learning communities where students and staff survive and thrive despite unrelenting stress and accountability. However, these leaders must first learn to take care of themselves before taking care of others. In this interactive session--using lecture, discussion, humor, reflective assessments, and a comprehensive handout--participants will learn school-tested strategies for sustaining spirit, renewing energy, managing stress, avoiding burnout, and keeping a balance in their lives.
