Today, I wanted to bring on someone to help us reflect and refocus on what is important in our profession. As we are being challenged each day, it is so vital that we discover our “why”. Why do we work with students and Why do we lead in education? This week’s guest, Barbara Bray, shares how we can use our creativity, passion, and talents to revolutionize our profession.  In this Episode, we discuss:

• Growing as a Leader through Stories
• Redefining Virtual Learning
• Coaching through Observation and Listening
• And “Define Your Why”
