During this conversation, Jenn and I talk about her summary of the book The Mindful School Leader: Practices to Transform Your Leadership and School, a book by Valerie Brown and Kirsten Olson.  We both make a case for the need for school administrators to develop their own mindfulness practices.  Science, stories, and strategies.  It’s all here.  And if you don’t think you have time for mindfulness practices, then you need them more than anyone.  

You can reach Jenn at her website for The Main Idea (www.themainidea.net).  I’m a happy subscriber of The Main Idea and a big fan of Jenn’s work.  She’s offered to send listeners of this episode a free summary of The Mindful School Leader if you send her an email at J.David-Lang@TheMainIdea.net.  It’s definitely worth the time.  Enjoy this interview with Jenn David-Lang.

In this episode veteran superintendent Dan White and I have a wide-ranging conversation about context-based leadership.  Much of what we talk about is drawn from our many years of working with school leaders on the state, regional, and national levels.  This is the first in a series of episodes with Dan related to the nuts and bolts of leadership in general and school leadership specifically based on our popular workshop Liquid Gold for Leaders: 30 Rules No One Has the Guts to Tell You.  Enjoy this conversation with Dan White.

Jenn David-Lang makes her fifth appearance on the show.  She still holds the record.  And there’s a reason I keep talking to Jenn - I always learn so much.  Jenn produces The Main Idea (http://www.themainidea.net/), a monthly summary of a current education book.  Jenn has over 30,000 subscribers and has an incredible perspective on all things education.  We talk about David Allen’s updated edition of his classic Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity.  We get into Allen’s organizational system to help “people with too much to do and too little time,” Jenn’s words.
