Explore howGrounded Leadership Can Transform Your Team, Your Vision, And Yourself.
Leadership doesn’t have to mean holding it all together while falling apart inside. If you’re paddling furiously beneath the surface, you’re not alone. When the pace is relentless and the pressure invisible but very real, it’s easy to feel bombarded.
Getting grounded helps you build and lead from a steady foundation with clarity and confidence—so you can have impact without burning out.
Emerging AndMiddle Leaders
Middle leaders are the glue in schools; juggling team dynamics, school priorities, and leadership expectations. Many are asked to lead without the tools, training, or confidence to do it well, especially when it comes to communication and the craft of leadership. This year-long project gives middle leaders what they need: practical tools, clear strategies, and grounded confidence.
I help leaders slow down, lead with clarity, and stay grounded in what matters most.
I’ve been there—calm on the outside, paddling like mad underneath. As a former deputy principal, I know what it’s like to carry the weight of leadership while feeling like you’re barely staying afloat. That pressure? It’s not sustainable.
Grounded leadership is my response to the relentless demands and pace of being a leader today.
I highly recommend Katrina for anyone who is looking for clarity about their own leadership strengths and potential.
