🎙️ In this empowering episode, Paya Sample dives deep into the essence of leadership mindset. Discover why leadership is more about the posture of your heart towards people and processes than just a position. Plus, gain insights into the perfect timing to make that transformative leap! 🕰️ Ready to embrace the leader within? Tune in now! #EmpoweredEducator #LeadershipMindset #PodcastJourney
Step into the world of educational excellence with Paya Sample, the visionary Founder and Owner of Pedagogy in Action. With an impressive seventeen years of experience as a Principal, Elementary Educator, and Instructional Coordinator, she has honed her expertise to transform education into an inspiring journey for students and educators alike.

Paya's educational journey has been rich and diverse, fueling her passion for empowering minds. Armed with a B.A. in Sociology & Anthropology, an M.A. in Elementary Education, and an Educational Specialist Degree in Educational Leadership, she stands as a shining example of continuous learning and growth.
From bustling public schools to nurturing private institutions, Paya has thrived in diverse educational environments. She has been instrumental in shaping high-performing schools and districts, as well as championing change in districts where students are still striving to reach grade-level standards.
Throughout her remarkable career, Paya has worn many hats. She has fearlessly developed cutting-edge curriculum, championed equitable practices for every student, spearheaded technology initiatives, and led transformative action research cohorts. Her dedication to nurturing educators shines through as she coaches school leaders and delves into research to unearth the very best practices in leadership and teaching. Paya plays a lead role, igniting a spark in educators and paving the path for a brighter future in education.
When she’s not making changes in the educational landscape you can find Paya emptying the dishwasher, listening to podcasts, folding laundry that never gets put away, initiating dance parties with her children (electric slide anyone?), going for a walk/trot and searching for her coffee that she set down somewhere.
