Every week, we’re here with strategies and systems to make school leadership feel a little lighter. But today? We’re stepping out of the usual rhythm to share something different. In this bonus episode, we’re telling the story of how The Principal Exchange came to be. From our venture outside of the public school system, to realizing how isolated school leaders often feel, to joining forces to create practical resources and a community of support—you’ll hear the “why” behind everything we do. We’ll walk you through what we’re building right now (the Academy, the Marketplace, our conferences), the vision that drives us, and the belief that’s at the core of it all: leadership doesn’t have to be lonely.   Make sure you follow us on social media:  Facebook Instagram   Want more than just ideas? Join hundreds of principals inside The Principal Academy—a growing movement of school leaders reclaiming time, strengthening culture, and leading with purpose. Check it out here!
