AND WITH THE LEADWELL LAB EXPERIENCE
You don’t just learn strategies—you practice them in real time. With specific steps, practical tools, and the R.E.S.E.T. Framework designed specifically for school leaders.
You won’t just learn strategies to manage stress.
You practice steadiness with real support, in real time, alongside other school leaders.
Whether You're New to This or Have Tried Everything......
Are New to Self-Care
Little experience prioritizing your own well-being—and that’s okay.
You’ve spent years taking care of everyone else and are just beginning to ask what you need to feel steady again.
Have Tried it All
A long list of strategies that never quite stuck.
You’ve attended PD, read the books, tried the apps—and still find yourself overwhelmed in the day-to-day reality of the job.
Are Deeply Exhausted
A sense that you’re constantly running on empty.
You love your work, but the pace has taken a toll on your energy, your health, and your life outside of school.
Have No Time to Spare
Your days are full before they even begin.
You’re juggling meetings, crises, emails, and decisions—and the idea of “one more thing” feels impossible right now.
A Six-Step Framework for Leading Well Without Exhaustion
(Supported by coaching and community)
What to Expect in
The LeadWell Lab™
The LeadWell Lab is a 6-week guided group coaching experience designed to support school leaders in real, practical ways—during the school day, not after it.
Each week, you’ll engage in a live group session focused on one step of the R.E.S.E.T. Framework, blending reflection, research-informed strategies, and real-time application.
You won’t just learn ideas—you’ll practice tools you can use immediately in the moments leadership feels most demanding.
Throughout the experience, you can expect:
• Live, facilitated group coaching led by a former principal who understands
• Practical stress-regulation and leadership tools that work within school life
• Guided reflection and discussion alongside a small cohort of fellow school leaders
• Support between sessions to help you integrate what you’re learning
By the end of the six weeks, you’ll leave with a personalized, sustainable plan—one that supports steadiness, clarity, and leadership effectiveness without sacrificing your wellbeing.
What I learned is that supporting leaders changes everything.
I changed my life and you can too.
My wish for you is :
→ Tools you can use during the school day, not only when things finally slow down.
→ A structured yet human process that blends individual learning, live coaching, and peer connection.
→ A personalized RESET plan you can return to again and again as leadership demands evolve.
There’s a reason this work resonates so deeply with principals: it’s grounded in real leadership life, not theory alone.

FAQ'S
1️⃣ Who is the RESET Framework designed for?
The RESET Framework is designed for school leaders—principals, assistant principals, and district leaders—who are navigating high levels of stress and want practical, sustainable ways to lead well without burning out.
2️⃣ Why is RESET designed as a group experience?
Leaders learn and grow more effectively in community. A group setting allows participants to reflect alongside peers, hear diverse perspectives, and normalize shared challenges—deepening insight and accelerating learning in ways individual study alone cannot.
3️⃣ Is the training in person or online?
The LeadWell Lab is delivered fully online, making it accessible to school leaders across the country. Live group sessions take place via Zoom, with resources and support provided between sessions to help you apply what you’re learning in real time.
4️⃣ What kind of results can we expect?
Leaders report increased clarity, steadiness, and resilience, along with healthier boundaries, improved decision-making, and a more sustainable approach to leadership that positively impacts their schools.
I didn’t set out to create a leadership framework...I set out to survive.
As a principal, I carried the same weight many school leaders do—long hours, constant urgency, and the belief that pushing harder was the only option. A school fire became the moment everything stopped, forcing me to confront my own burnout and the toll it was taking on my staff.
What began as personal recovery became transformational leadership work. As I changed how I showed up, my school culture changed too.
So with 20+ years of educational leadership behind me (and the scars to prove it) ......teaching you a different way of leadership that allows you to thrive has become my life's work.
I thought my greatest contribution was helping schools improve.
