Our brains are hardwired for connection and stories. This podcast is all about amplifying both. Now more than ever our stories matter. Each week The Your Story Matters Podcast will feature a new guest sharing their "why" and stories. On this episode of The Your Story Matters Podcast, I have a conversation with Allyson Apsey, who has been an educator for over 20 years; an award-winning school leader for the majority of those years. She is passionate about students and staff and leads others through their strengths. She tries to be transparent, vulnerable and supportive, and she doesn’t ask questions unless she wants the answers. After 19 years as a school, district and state leader, Allyson is the Director of Client Relations with Creative Leadership Solutions, where she works with districts and schools across the nation to improve performance at every level from the classroom to the boardroom with evidence, passion, and results. She also travels to spread her #SerendipityEDU message across the country.Allyson became a Certified Trauma Practitioner in Education.Allyson writes on a blog called Serendipity in Education and has authored several books–The Path to Serendipity, the picture book The Princes of Serendip, andThrough the Lens of Serendipity: Helping Others Discover the Best in Themselves, a middle-grades chapter book calledThe Serendipity Journal, Lead with Collaboration: A Complete Guide for Transforming Staff Meetings with Jessica Gomez, Leading the Whole Teacher, What Makes a Great Principal with George Couros, she is a contributing author to Fearless Instruction, and her latest book is Less Talk, More Action: A Guide to Transforming Schools Through Action Research with Emily Freeland. She also loves speaking to passionate groups of educators as everyone works to be happy and effective people for the benefit of everyone.
