Michelle Manning - Exposure Is Nice, But...
Welcome to The Dr. Will Show, the podcast for educators looking to level up, break-out, and build something of their own. Today, we’re talking about the leap—from a steady paycheck to the unpredictable but rewarding world of consulting. My guest, Michelle Manning, knows exactly what it’s like to take those first steps. After years of pouring her heart into education, she's retiring at the end of the school year and will begin a new chapter as an educational consultant. In this episode, Michelle shares what she's been doing, the lessons she’s learned along the way, and how she overcame the fear of stepping out on her own. If you’ve been thinking about making the transition but aren’t sure where to start—this one’s for you.
