Mindset Connection Episode 24: Joe Isola
Welcome to the Mindset Connection Podcast and to our 24th episode. We continue to showcase incredible people who believe in the work that they do, and in making our world a better and brighter place. Today’s guest definitely did not disappoint. Joe Isola, Superintendent of Howell Township Public Schools, took a break from his incredibly full schedule to talk to us about his intention to help children. Joe has made mental health and wellness a priority in his professional and personal life. He spoke candidly about the obligation he took on as an educator to build a resilient community, take care of the students, families and staff, and learn from mistakes and failures. Joe talked with us about the high expectations he places on himself, his drive to be sincere and genuine, and the challenge of finding the balance between running a school district and having a family. Joe’s energy was infectious in the studio. His humor and his true love for people had us laughing and smiling throughout the conversation. Joe is definitely an example of someone who is not afraid to jump in, address an issue and do the hard work to bring about change. It’s no surprise that Joe left the field of Accounting to be an Educator! Joe told us that he is not someone to hide behind closed doors, as has given his personal number to the entire staff, and many community members. He not only has the door open, but is inviting you in. We hope Joe will inspire you to find hope and joy in every day.
