426 Why I Invested in My Leadership – Even When I Was Already Winning
What do you do when everything looks like it’s working—but deep down, you know there’s another level of growth waiting?
In this episode of The Childcare Director’s Chair, I’m sharing why I chose to invest in my leadership—even when my center was thriving, enrollment was full, and people said I was already “winning.”
Because success without strong leadership? It doesn’t last.
This episode is a must-listen for childcare directors, owners, and early childhood leaders who:
- Feel like they’ve outgrown their current systems or mindset
- Want to build a stronger team and a healthier culture
- Know they’re capable of more, but feel stuck in “busy”
- Want practical, heart-centered growth strategies rooted in real leadership
I’ll also break down:
- 8 key reflections to help you assess your leadership journey
- Why leadership shows up in every area of your life—not just at work
- The mindset shift that separates managers from legacy leaders
