The Secret to Transformational Leadership!

This is not your typical online course. Become part of a community of K12 Leaders committed to living out a more authentic style of leadership.



How are some leaders able to connect with their communities, followers, and stakeholders while others struggle? This guiding question sets the stage for a discussion on the language of leadership and the need for our language to evolve.

Dr. Quintin Shepherd, a true visionary for the future of education, is the Superintendent at Victoria Independent School District in Victoria, Texas. Sarah Williamson creates and implements strategic public relations programs for education organizations and industry leaders across the country. 

Together, the co-authors have gathered a collection of diverse experiences to illustrate why we are at a climactic moment for real change in the way we perceive and enact leadership. Their book brings inspiration, hope, and valuable insights about modifying our approach to some of the most basic leadership practices.
