Send us a text Let’s get real for a minute — how can you lead others if you don’t really know yourself? 🤔In this episode of The Child Care Director’s Chair, we’re diving deep into self-awareness — the secret ingredient to powerful, authentic leadership. Because when you know who you are, why you make the choices you do, and what truly brings you joy, you don’t just lead better — you live better.We’ll unpack the tough questions every childcare leader and teacher should be asking: ✨ Who am I — really? ✨ What lights me up, and what drains me? ✨ Why do I react the way I do? ✨ And what’s my real direction — not just at work, but in life?You’ll hear one of my favorite John Maxwell quotes:“You have to know who you are to grow your potential — but you have to grow in order to know who you are.”We’ll talk through how to find your compass, build your confidence, and stop living on autopilot. Because when you get clear on you, your leadership, your relationships, and your classroom all shift for the better.So here’s my question — do you have a sense of direction, or are you just running in circles?If you’re ready to dig deep and start growing with intention, come join me and an amazing circle of leaders inside the Trailblazer Community — where we’re building self-aware, confident, purpose-driven leaders one conversation at a time.👉 Click here to join and use code LAUNCH for your first month free: Membership | Child Care DirectorLet’s stop guessing who we are and start becoming who we’re meant to be — together.Support the showWe invite you to join our community of dedicated listeners by supporting our podcast with a monthly subscription.
