Show Notes

New from Road to Awesome, it's High Performance Leadership - a 2 day intensive leadership workshop designed to take leadership teams to the next level. High Performance Leadership increases team efficiency enhances production, and sharpens focus through a focus on 5 keys to building an awesome leadership team:

  • Clarity of value, mission, and goals
  • Knowing the house (strengths, fit, leveraging each other)
  • Getting work done (workflow and sandboxes)
  • Team dynamics (trust, delegation, and communication)
  • Continuous evolution (celebration, learning, growing)

We want to work with your leadership team to get them on the Road to Awesome. Connect with us today by sending an email to [email protected] or send a direct message on Twitter to @DarrinMPeppard.

My guest on this episode is Zandra Jo Galvan. Zandra is the Superintendent of Greenfield Union School District and current CALSA President (California Assoc. of Latinx Sups & Admin). She has an amazing origin story and a true passion for making a difference in the lives of kids. She can be found on social media at: Twitter (@zjgalvan) & LinkedIn (Zandra Jo Galván).

Zandra speaks to 'putting possible in the universe' as the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and ensuring students know they all have an opportunity to achieve at high levels. Her work in intentionally backward-mapping the experience every student has in Greenfield Union School District is truly inspiring and a model of exceptional leadership.

The #PepTalk this week builds right from the phrase 'putting possible in the universe' and serves as a reminder that we, as adults, must never doubt or discount the potential that exists in each and every one of our students.

Have a #RoadToAwesome week everyone!! (now on TikTok as DarrinMPeppard)
