About The Classroom Leadership Mind Shift
For more than twenty years, I worked in the corporate world leading teams, developing people, and building cultures grounded in trust, accountability, and service. Leadership was never about authority — it was about empowering others to succeed.
When I stepped into a classroom for the first time, I had no formal teaching background. No classroom management training. No education playbook.
But something became clear almost immediately.
The same leadership principles I used to lead adults in business worked in the classroom — the people were just smaller.
- Instead of managing behavior, I focused on building relationships. Instead of enforcing rules, I established trust.
Instead of controlling outcomes, I led students toward ownership of their learning.
I can help educators reframe their role from classroom manager to classroom leader. I can help you bring servant leadership principles from the corporate world into education — not as theory, but as lived experience.
I am passionate about this new way of thinking because students don’t need more control — they need better leadership.
When teachers lead with empathy, clarity, and purpose, students rise.
And when educators change their mindset, outcomes change.
