Description

In this special solo episode, host Missy Couch shares an exciting shift in the CheckBox Pro Series focus. While past episodes have featured subject-matter experts in education, Missy is pivoting to spotlight the real pros—school leaders who are in the trenches every day. She reflects on trends she's seeing in the field, from the loneliness many leaders feel to the hunger for connection and sustainability, and explains why creating a space for leaders to share their stories, strategies, and "why" matters now more than ever. This is the beginning of a new season of conversations designed to inspire, connect, and remind leaders that this challenging work can be both doable and joyful.

Key Takeaways:

• The podcast will shift from expert interviews to conversations with school leaders currently doing the work.
• Sustainability in education is about more than efficiency—it's also about mindset, community, and support.
• Many leaders struggle with isolation and burnout; sharing stories can help create connection.
• Listeners are invited to nominate themselves or others for future episodes.
