Don’t Fly Too Close to the Sun

Do not pay attention to the doubters. Educators bring immense value, both within and beyond their Local Education Agencies. Keep investing in lifelong learning and building your portfolio to propel you towards your desired career path. Continuously reflect on your academic work and experiences. Stand out and stand tall, ready to walk through the door of your choice or even become the architect of your own path.

Research Posits

The transition from an educator to an executive role indeed involves acquiring a new set of skills, which can be facilitated through mentorship and executive coaching12. This transformation is likened to a conversion that can be expedited and refined through intentional coaching1. The application of principles of behavioral science and psychology plays a key role in the effectiveness of executive coaching345. Furthermore, the concept of preparing leaders from among the academic ranks with executive skills training is relatively new in academic medicine1. However, it’s gaining traction for its effectiveness in preparing educators for executive positions678.
