Episode: 310
- Author, speaker, and retired school leader Dr. Joe Sanfelippo joins the podcast to dive into his newest book, Lead from Who You Are. It all starts with values – because who you are drives how you lead.
- You’ll learn Joe’s three leadership rhythms (personal, people, process) and how they help you stay steady – even when school life isn’t.
- Presence isn’t a personality trait; it’s a habit. Hear how small hallway moments and micro-interactions build trust for the big decisions.
- For school communicators, Joe offers a simple reset: start with purpose before the day hijacks you, and use “see something, say something” to build momentum through storytelling.
