I want you to think back to your first job. Was it McDonald’s or another fast food place? Maybe it was as a cashier at a grocery store or babysitting or camp counselor or washing cars at a car dealership. Now, I want you to think about your first boss. Was that boss grumpy, short-tempered and kind of mean? Or was that boss kind, encouraging and patient? We have all had a lot of bosses in our lives. There are a lot of bosses in this world. There are also a lot of leaders in this world. But, there is a big difference between being a boss and being a leader. On today’s episode of The Private School Leader Podcast, we are going to discuss why Bosses Make You Feel Anxious And Leaders Make You Feel Safe. Thank you for listening to the podcast every week. You are making a difference in the lives of the students, teachers and parents at your school. I know that what you do is difficult, exhausting and lonely. Your hard work inspires me to keep making weekly content to try to encourage and inspire you as you serve your school.

The "tyranny of the urgent" controls my day, and I start working on my important tasks when the school gets quiet. I feel discouraged, lonely, exhausted and stressed out. I'm not sure that my job is sustainable. My school invades every part of my professional and personal life. I want to have a long and happy and fulfilling career as a private school leader. I feel called to do this work, but I am not sure how long I can keep doing it if nothing changes. I have felt that way many times during my career. That’s why I created the PSL Pro Membership PSL Pro is a membership community that helps Private School Leaders go from feeling stressed out, discouraged and lonely to feeling energized, fulfilled and supported.
