You Are Not Meant To Be A Principal | Unmasking Imposter Syndrome
Feeling like an imposter in your own shoes? You're not alone. Through the lens of my personal journey, we peel back the layers of the seldom-discussed yet common phenomenon of imposter syndrome among school leaders. As a school principal, I’ve experienced it firsthand, and it's time we openly address this.
This episode dispels the myth that a school principal is a fountain of knowledge, always ready with solutions. No two situations in school leadership are identical and this episode highlights that sometimes, the best thing a school principal can do is admit they don't have all the answers. So, get ready to challenge conventional wisdom, understand the real challenges of being a school leader, and learn from my experiences of overcoming self-doubt.
