Have you ever felt trapped, like your options are limited and you really don’t like any of the options available? Usually, we feel like our only recourse is to hold our noses and choose the least offensive option. But, that’s not what Builders do. You see, if you are a Builder and you don’t like your options, instead of settling for what’s in front of you, you change the game by asking different questions. That’s why this week, we’re starting a brand new series about a few questions that help you change the game and give yourself more and better options. If you’re feeling like you don’t have a lot of options right now and you don’t like the options you do have, tune into this week’s podcast to discover how you can build new options for yourself #LikeABuilder.

Who you listen to matters more than you think. As a Builder, you’re not just leading—you’re transforming schools in ways that most people around you don’t understand. But if the loudest voices in your ear are supervisors focused on compliance, colleagues who don’t share your vision, or skeptics who think you’re aiming too high, their doubts can start shaping your decisions without you even realizing it. In this episode, we’ll unpack how the wrong influences can slowly pull you back into the status quo, how to evaluate who’s really supporting your growth, and how to surround yourself with the right people who will challenge, inspire, and push you forward #LikeABuilder.…

Your staff may not be as aligned as you think 31:35

Is your staff truly aligned, or are you constantly chasing, checking, and correcting just to keep things moving? Hidden misalignment is one of the biggest reasons schools struggle to sustain momentum and most principals don’t recognize it until it’s too late. In this episode, we’ll explore the three biggest ways misalignment is slowing you down, how to tell if your school has surface-level vs. true alignment, and what the most effective principals do differently to make alignment automatic. If you’ve ever thought, “Things are mostly fine, so why does it feel like I’m pushing so hard?” then this episode is for you. Tune in now to learn how to build a school where alignment happens naturally #LikeABuilder.…

If you’re constantly chasing, checking, and correcting your staff, you don’t have an unmotivated teacher problem—you have an alignment problem. The real reason teachers aren’t fully committed isn’t because they don’t care, it’s because they don’t have the feedback, support, culture, and accountability needed to take full ownership of their work. In this episode, we’re breaking down the 4 Staff Alignment Levers—Feedback, Support, Culture, and Accountability—and how they help teachers do the right work, the right way, for the right reasons, even when you’re not looking. Plus, I’ll share what to do if you’ve missed the Staff Alignment Challenge and how you can get your personalized Staff Alignment Roadmap in Monday’s live Masterclass. So tune in today to discover how you can get your entire staff aligned #LikeABuilder.…

Do you feel like you’ve only got this ONE school year to make a difference? 24:11

Today is Christmas and I am spending time with my family but I didn't want to leave you hanging. So here's one of my favorite episodes from last year. Do you feel like you’ve only got this ONE school year to make a difference? If so, you're probably chasing the quick wins, putting an enormous amount of pressure on yourself and your teachers, and staying on the school improvement hamster wheel. Builders don’t operate under that kind of pressure. Instead, Builders play the long game. They think in 3-year time horizons and as a result, accomplish more with significantly less stress. It’s time to get off the hamster wheel. Discover how you too can play the long game #LikeABuilder…

The most important question of all 31:23

acum 12 weeks31:23

31:23

This week, we’re wrapping up our series on Questions Worth Asking with the hardest one yet: Do you REALLY believe in your 100% vision? It seems like a simple question on the surface. You might even be thinking “of course I do!” but let me ask you this: If you truly believed in your vision, would you be doing what you’re doing in your school right now? You see, it’s one thing to believe that your 100% vision is admirable or even desirable. It’s another thing to be convicted that your vision is possible for you. And without that conviction, you may be acting in ways that subtly undermine your vision. So this week’s podcast is a real gut check, one that I had to go through myself. But, I believe it’s one of the most important questions you can ask yourself if you’re going to reach your vision #LikeABuilder.…

Do you know your 80/20? In other words, do you know what work you do that is primarily responsible for the success you’ve gained?

That’s the question we’re examining as we continue our series on Questions that are worth asking. If you want to see more results for your efforts, it’s critical that you understand your 80/20. So tune in to today’s podcast so that you can discover your 80/20 #LikeABuilder.…
