In this episode of the Growth in Educational Leadership Podcast, I introduce my new title! I am The Breakthrough Teacher Leader Mentor! 🚀 In this value-laden episode, I discuss the numerous mindset challenges teachers face when stepping into leadership roles. These challenges include imposter syndrome, fear of visibility, overworking, a fixed identity as just a teacher, fear of change, the need for approval, pursuit of perfection, and fear of letting go.
