The Leadership Beacon with Anne Kyle
The Reality of Executive Leadership in Education - Why I Walked Away
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Leadership Beacon I share my personal journey of why I walked away from my role in education. I reflect my experiences, the challenges and the toll it ultimately took on my wellbeing. We will explore themes of identity, purpose, and the importance of leading with intention rather than reaction and why your wellbeing matters.
