Which of these statements best describes you?

 

I feel overwhelmed, exhausted and stressed out. I'm not sure that my job is sustainable.

 

I am a new leader and I really want to do well in my new role.

 

I am an aspiring Head of School and I want to accelerate my leadership growth.

 

I am an experienced leader starting out a new school and I need a “90 Day Entry Plan”

 

I've got great news for you!

 

At some point in the last 32 years, all four of those statements have been true about me.

 

I can help you get from where you are to where you want to be!

 

If you have gotten value from the podcast, I want to work 1-on-1 with you and help you with your specific needs.

 

I used to be miserable.

 

I have been in the hospital with ulcers.

 

I have had my daughters say to me, “Dad, when do we get to see you instead of the back of your laptop?”

 

I have been diagnosed with severe burnout.

 

At the end of the day, I have asked myself, “Why am I so exhausted?"

 

At the end of the day, I have asked myself, "Why didn’t I get anything done today?”

 

I have felt extreme guilt about putting the school before my family.

 

I felt lonely.

 

Nearly every day, for 20 years, I felt frustrated and overwhelmed and stressed out.

But, 12 years ago, I figured out how to make it better. 

 

I can teach you how to make it better.

I want you to use your imagination. 

 

Imagine that it is the end of a long day at school, but….

  • You feel like you had a productive day.

  • You feel like you accomplished meaningful work. 

  • You are leaving at a reasonable time.

  • You have some energy left for your family. 

  • You are looking forward to doing it again tomorrow.

 

Does this sound impossible?

 

I am living proof that it IS POSSIBLE.

 

 

 

I can help you reach your goals.

 

I can help you go from feeling overwhelmed and frustrated to feeling happy and fulfilled.

 

If you are a a new leader, I can help you THRIVE in that role and teach you everything that I wish that I had known when I was starting out.

 

If you are an aspiring Head of School, I can help you fast track your progress by accelerating your leadership growth.

 

If you are an experienced leader starting out at a new school, I can help you succeed right away and help you develop your "90 Day Entry Plan"

 

I can teach you how to make it better.

 

I can help you grow as a leader.

 

I can help you get back to doing the things that make you feel happy AND energized AND fulfilled.

"I have learned so many great strategies from your wise words. It has been such a buoy and is so validating to hear the common struggles, and ways to grow toward success."

Melissa, Principal, Houston, Texas

 

“Sometimes your words challenge me to be better.  Sometimes your words give me something to think about.  Sometimes I receive new insights and ideas that I want to put into practice immediately. Sometimes I see myself in you when you speak about how your life used to be in the beginning years of your leadership.  I see that in myself right now and I am worried that I will burn out.  I want to be in this vocation for the rest of my life, God willing, but I know I need to change if I am going to be able to do so in the future!”

Keith, Principal, Rhode Island

"Mark helped me reflect and discover the areas of my leadership and work that I could improve on. He helped me focus my efforts on listening and motivating teachers to reach their goals. He worked with me to develop a healthier work/life balance, and to better manage my time and feel more in control of my schedule. These changes made me feel stronger both emotionally and physically, and made me ready to tackle the challenges of each day with a positive and excited attitude."

Emily, Learning Innovation Director, Pennsylvania
