Leadership Lessons with Cheri
I am excited for your journey into the world of leadership! After spending 16 years as a building principal, I have learned from some of the best and brightest, studied at some of the most amazing schools, and discovered valuable lessons that will help you carve your path into the world of leadership! I cannot wait for us to begin this adventure together!
What You Will Gain From This Course
I was not planning on jumping into the world of leadership. I planned to finish my bachelor's degree and work as a classroom teacher for the rest of my career. Now, don't get me wrong, I knew I had leadership skills...just like many leaders realize, but I was not sure that I wanted to have the role and responsibilities of the leader while still making my family a priority.
But, like most leaders, someone saw these skills in me and encouraged (like highly suggested) that I go back to school and move into a leadership role. I was nervous, but also found the opportunity very exciting! And the rest is history!
In this course, I will share with you my journey to leadership, what made me really sure this was for me, and important skills you will need to build to become the leader you were meant to be! I will also teach you to understand that leadership is a calling, not a job, and share the real life, raw story, of what it takes to be a leader. Each month you will receive valuable online information, one live group coaching session, and reflection activities that will help you start your journey.
I can assure you, if you were meant to lead, have the passion to make a difference in the world, and have an open mind to committing to all it takes to be one of the greats, I can get you there! There is not a day in my life that I regret the decision to take the leadership path! And with the right support, you will not either!
