FLOURISHING SCHOOL LEADERS COMMUNITY COHORT
Real leadership doesn't happen in isolation
It happens in relationship
You became a school leader to make a difference—to create environments where students thrive, teachers grow, and communities flourish.
But the daily reality of leadership can feel overwhelming, isolating, and far from the vision that called you to this work.
Change is coming and you want to lead your learning community with intention, clarity, and care
What if you had a community of peers and expert guidance to help you lead with clarity, confidence, and joy?
Calling the visionaries, the thinkers, the innovators, the leaders ready to tell a better story
My guess is…You want to shake things up.
Make a real difference
You're ready to do whatever it takes to build something better
You care deeply about students, teachers, and communities.
You're passionate, maybe even a bit angry.
You're tired of the old ways and sick of the excuses.
You know that the next few years will change everything forever...and you want to lead with purpose and clarity
That's EXACTLY the crowd gathering for the 2026 Flourishing School Leaders Cohort!!!!
Whether you are a seasoned vet needing support navigating the coming technological changes to education, a brand new administrator still learning the ropes, or just feeling the weight and burn of leading a school…this community is for you!
"I know change is coming. We are all worried about what AI means for education, and I'm looking for a human-centered approach to navigating it with my school community. I'm excited about what this group brings to the table. The price is worth it to have a group of colleagues I can talk openly with about this issue" High School Principal
The Flourishing School Leaders
Community Cohort
You Don't Have to Lead Alone.
School leadership is demanding, complex, and deeply meaningful. You're navigating constant change while leading with purpose and heart.
But the cost is real:
85% of principals experience job-related stress
48% are dealing with burnout
30% leave within five years
The most transformative school leaders aren't just brilliant—they're connected.
The way through the loneliness of leadership isn't to tough it out alone, but to walk together.
You need someone in your corner. A safe space to vent, a shoulder to lean on, a place to dream big.
That's why the Flourishing School Leaders Community Cohort exists
A community designed to keep you in the game long-term—doing the work you love with purpose, meaning, and joy.
A community of leaders ready to tackle the changes coming in education
"This community could be the difference between me staying in education or leaving. I need this."
— First-Year Principal

-
Every session is recorded and available for replay. While we encourage attending live for the Q&A portion (that's where the real magic happens), we understand school leadership is unpredictable. You'll never miss the content
-
Absolutely! While we encourage joining in January to experience the full year's journey with the cohort, you can enroll anytime.
When you join in any given month:
You pay $500 for 12 months of live sessions from your enrollment date
You immediately get access to recordings of any previous sessions you missed

-
Perfect! These sessions are designed for leaders at all stages—whether you're in your first year or your twentieth. You'll gain strategies for wherever you are in your leadership journey.
-
Most PD is one-and-done, generic, and doesn't address your actual reality. The Flourishing School Leaders Mastermind provides:
Monthly touchpoints throughout the year (not just one session)
Topics specifically designed for school leaders' challenges
Live Q&A where YOUR questions get answered
A community of peers who understand your context
Strategies you can use Monday morning, not just theory
-
While we don't currently offer formal CEU credits, many districts will count participation toward professional development hours. We provide certificates of completion for each session you attend. Check with your district about their PD requirements.
-
Every member receives a complimentary digital copy of this comprehensive resource packed with leadership strategies, reflection prompts, and practical tools. It's designed to complement the monthly sessions and support your daily leadership practice.
-
Many leaders successfully expense this as professional development. We provide detailed receipts and can supply any documentation your district requires. The annual cost ($500) is typically well within PD budgets.
-
We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If after your first session you don't feel this is the right fit, we'll provide a full refund—no questions asked. We want you to feel confident in your investment.
-
While we cover core themes that are always relevant to school leaders, the content evolves based on current educational trends, member feedback, and the unique challenges of each school year. If you continue your membership beyond year one, you won't be getting recycled content.
-
Yes! We encourage school leadership teams to join together. Having multiple leaders from the same school creates powerful opportunities for aligned leadership and shared language around the work. Contact us about group rates for 3 or more from the same school/district
-
We prioritize questions during the live session, but if time runs short, you can submit questions via email after the session. We will work hard to answer any and all questions posed resulting from a given session
-
This is designed as an ongoing community. Your initial commitment is 12 months, and you'll have the option to renew annually. Many members find the monthly rhythm and community so valuable they continue year after year.
-
Both memberships include the exact same benefits—monthly live sessions, session recordings, community access, and The Flourishing School Leader's Field Guide. The only difference is how you pay:
Annual members pay $500 once and save $280!
Monthly members pay $65/month for flexibility and can cancel with 30 days notice
Most members choose annual because it's better value and easier to expense through PD budgets, but we offer monthly for those who prefer flexibility.
The burnout is real. I'm making it through each day, but I've lost the spark that brought me into leadership. When I read about monthly sessions on things like sustainable leadership, building psychological safety, and cultivating joy in schools, I thought, "Finally—someone gets it." These aren't fluffy topics; they're exactly what I'm wrestling with every single day. And the idea of having peers who understand? That alone made me sign up immediately. I'm ready to lead differently, and I can't do it alone anymore.
