  • Are You Leading in a Comfort Zone? Get Clear and Lead Boldly #167
    Jul 9 2025

    Send us a text

    In this Power Surge episode of The Empowered Educator podcast, we’re kicking off the new school year with a challenge: lead with clarity, not comfort.

    With great opportunity comes great responsibility—and part of that responsibility is evaluating what you’re bringing into the new year. From outdated routines to legacy systems that no longer serve your mission, now is the time to pause and recalibrate.

    In this episode, you’ll discover:

    • Why comfort can quietly stall leadership growth
    • How to recognize when familiar practices are no longer effective
    • A practical framework to help you lead with clarity and intention
    • A mindset shift to help you embrace courageous leadership in real time

    This isn’t about reinventing everything—it’s about being bold enough to reflect, refine, and release what’s no longer aligned.

    🎯 Power Surge Affirmation: “Comfort is safe—but clarity is what drives meaningful progress.”

    Burnout doesn’t serve your calling. If you’ve been running on empty or trying to balance all the things without leaving space for yourself, this is your nudge to pause, protect your peace, and lead from a place of wholeness.

    You’ll walk away with:

    • A fresh mindset around rest and sustainability
    • Permission to protect your work-life balance
    • A bold I Will statement to anchor your week

    Rest isn’t a reward—it’s a requirement. Let's reset and lead on purpose.
