Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Leadership Lenses, we explore with Cheryl Maayan how school leaders can approach one of the most important transitional moments of the year, the first day and first month as head of school. These opening weeks set the tone for relationships, trust, and culture in ways that can last for years. We discuss how being present, intentional, and genuinely connected from day one can create a lasting impact. From greeting students and families with joy, to offering personal touches like handwritten notes or follow-up calls, every action sends a message about the values we hold. By approaching these moments with care and clarity, leaders can communicate that this is a community rooted in connection, purpose, and shared growth. It’s not just about managing logistics, it’s about shaping the way people feel about the school and each other from the very beginning.More resources at - ⁠https://kislowiczconsulting.com/resources/⁠
