In this deeply engaging LIVE Space of "Global Ed Leaders," we peel back the layers to explore vulnerability in school leadership.

As an international school leader, I've seen first-hand the transformative power vulnerability can wield. It's not always comfortable, but it's crucial for building trust and fostering authentic connections among our staff, students, and community. This conversation is a reminder that showing our humanity can be our greatest strength.
