Lead™: A Workshop for Catholic School Principals and Their Leadership Teams
Understand what drives your team—and lead the work that matters, together.
Lead™
Strong leadership doesn’t happen alone. Catholic school principals rely on a small team of trusted colleagues to help carry the weight of the mission—but when the pressure is high and clarity is low, even great teams can find themselves stuck, scattered, or working around each other.
Lead™ is a high-impact workshop designed to change that.
Using the science of motivational design, you and your team will gain fresh insight into what drives each person, where your strengths overlap, and how you can work together more effectively.
This is not about adding more to your plate—it’s about leading with intention, clarity, and a renewed sense of shared responsibility.
You were never meant to do this alone.
Let’s help your team lead with you, not just for you.

I’ve Spent Years Supporting Catholic School Leaders—Now I’m Here to Support You.
I understand the real challenges of leading a Catholic school because I’ve walked alongside the principals and teams who live it every day.
As a former Catholic school teacher, administrator, and assistant superintendent, I’ve seen firsthand what it means to lead with a small team, limited resources, and more responsibilities than there are hours in the day.
It’s exhausting—and it can leave even the best leaders feeling stretched thin and unsupported.
But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Lead™ was created to give Catholic school principals and their core teams a better way to work—together. This workshop helps you understand what drives each person, where your team thrives, and how to reduce the stress that comes from misalignment, overwork, or communication breakdowns.
When your team is equipped to lean into their strengths and lead from who they are, they show up more focused, more energized, and more united in the mission.
You’re not meant to carry it all alone.
Let’s help your team lead with you—and lead well.

Insight + Impact
★★★★★
Each of us walked away with a deeper understanding of our unique wiring—and how that impacts how we lead, make decisions, and support others. It gave me the language and clarity I needed to lead more effectively without burning out.

This was the first time I felt like professional development was actually about me—how I’m wired, how I lead, and what I need to grow. It helped me name why certain things felt so draining and gave me real strategies I could use right away.

This workshop was a transformative experience for me and my assistant principal, as it deepened our professional connection and mutual respect. It gave us clearer insight into each other’s motivations and approaches, which has strengthened our leadership dynamic.
