Description

Ready to plan with power and purpose—not pressure? In this kickoff episode of our Back to Lead series, we explore how to move beyond over-planning and into building systems that stick. Christina shares three practical, values-driven strategies to help you simplify your planning, avoid burnout, and lead with more clarity and care. Whether you're designing a PD series, mapping your first six weeks, or just trying to get back into rhythm, this episode will help you build systems that actually support the people behind the plans.

🧠 KEY TAKEAWAYS

• • The best systems center people—not performance.
• • Planning from a place of purpose creates more flow and less frustration.
  • When your values, vision, and systems line up, the week runs smoother.
• • Naming it helps you shift into intention instead of anxiety.
  • How your team or learners feel in your space matters as much as what they do.
