De Facto Leaders De Facto Leaders: A New Show Title and Direction
In this episode, I’m excited to officially announce the new direction for the podcast! The show is now called “De Facto Leaders” (it was formerly “Are they 18 yet?®”) I’ve been hinting at this for a while and have slowly transitioned the types of topics I’ve covered over the last year, but in this episode we’re making the official switch! When I originally launched the podcast, I did so in the parenting category; and aimed to share advice that would be helpful to parents and professionals of K-12 kids. The focus of the show is still focused on helping school-age kids grow up to be successful adults; but the way I’m doing that is through empowering the professionals supporting them. That’s why the show will now be focusing on clinical leadership and personal development for therapists and educators. It’s for you if you’re a speech pathologist, social worker, psychologist, or other specialized service provider supporting K-12 kids. It’s also for you if you want to play a part in reforming education and healthcare, if you want to have an impact on policies at the local, state, and federal level, and you want to put yourself in a position where you can make a true influence with the work you do. You’re in the right place whether you want to stay in your current position and be more impactful OR whether you’re thinking about a career transition, moving to leadership, or starting a business and want to set yourself up for success. In this episode, I share how I’ll help you do this!
