As leaders, we are faced with problems the generations before us did not experience and we are joined again by Dr. Jody Carrington to explore the crucial role of human connection in our schools and how it impacts our educators.  They share why striving for a perfect work-life balance is a myth.

In schools, we often preach the need for authentic leadership, but are we neglecting our own emotional well-being as well as our teachers? Being authentic requires emotional regulation. Dr. Jody explains how emotional regulation forms the foundation of our authenticity, which in turn shapes the relationships we build. As leaders, she emphasizes that "fixing" everything isn't always our primary role. Instead, prioritizing human connection creates a fertile ground where the real work can grow.⁠

Dr. Carrington equips us with practical strategies for becoming our most authentic and emotionally regulated selves. This job is about connection, not just results.⁠
