Who Are You as a Principal? Redefining Your Identity with the 1.0 vs. 2.0 Tool

What if your identity as a principal isn’t fixed—but a choice you get to make every day? In this episode, we’re diving into the powerful concept of identity and how it shapes your leadership. Barb unpacks the 1.0 vs. 2.0 self exercise—one of her favorite coaching tools—to help you reflect on who you’ve been and intentionally step into who you want to become.

You’ll walk away with a practical strategy you can use for yourself and your teachers to foster growth, boost confidence, and shift out of burnout-inducing patterns.

Inside this episode:

  • Why identity is more than a personality trait—it's a story you're telling yourself
  • Common leadership identities that lead to burnout
  • How to use the 1.0 vs. 2.0 tool to shift your mindset and habits
  • Ways to model and share this strategy with your staff
  • The key to building a culture of growth, reflection, and empowerment

This episode will inspire you to take control of your narrative and lead with intention. Your 2.0 self is waiting—tune in now!
