From that moment, we explore three key leadership lessons for any learning environment. You’ll hear how honoring grit over perfection built confidence and how revealing my own missteps helped students see mastery as a journey, not a destination. By the end, you’ll be challenged to make one change—big or small—in your own learning space. Tune in and discover how intentional atmosphere, courageous celebration, and authentic leadership can open doors to deeper engagement and lasting growth.
