cheerful multiethnic students having high five with teacher

Essential Leaders is committed to ensuring school leaders have access to the training and resources needed to shift schools from standard to exceptional. Research shares high performing school leaders (1) set the direction, (2) develop people, and (3) make the organization work.

Our mission is to provide a strategic-framework for leadership development to dramatically improve staff and student experiences.

Our vision is to be an educational resource for great leaders inspiring to lead well with confidence, clarity, and community.

Teachers like tangible tokens of appreciation and acknowledgment of their impact. But, imagine if our teachers had access to trained leaders who they appreciated and were positively impacted by their leadership.

sweet moments with the best people 🫶🏾 sweet moments with the best people 🫶🏾
In 2025, let’s cancel the need to be the loudest In 2025, let’s cancel the need to be the loudest voice or smartest person in the room.

We already know why this matters. But how can we still be present, heard, and impactful without dominating the space?

Here are 3 ways:

1️⃣ Practice Active Listening
Instead of waiting for your turn to speak, focus fully on the person talking. Listening with intention builds trust and ensures you contribute meaningfully.

2️⃣ Ask Thoughtful Questions
Engaging others with genuine curiosity shows confidence and invites deeper, collaborative conversations. Your value isn’t in how much you talk but in how much you connect.

3️⃣ Lead with Clarity and Calmness
Share ideas concisely and with purpose. A calm, well-thought-out contribution often resonates more than a loud or impulsive one.

You don’t need to shout to make an impact. Let’s redefine what influence looks like this year.
Jesus first. All year long.
Happy New Year, Fam 🤘🏾
