As an aspiring school leader, I am continuously looking for new ways to learn and grow. One way that I take on this journey of newfound knowledge, is through the variety of leadership podcasts that have been introduced to the public lately.
Podcasting has continued to take off, and as lifelong learners, we are benefiting from this daily.
There are tons of podcasts available to listeners, but there isn’t enough time in a week to make it through each and every one of them.
“Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.” – Abigail Adams
In my experience, I have been able to find some amazing podcasts, that have constantly helped me. I truly believe that if you are an aspiring leader, or even if you are currently leading schools, you will greatly benefit from some #PodcastPD.
Here is a list of my top 5 podcasts that I feel should be shared with people who are like me. These podcasts can be found through any podcast catcher out there – I am a user of overcast.fm.
Top 5 School Leadership Podcasts
Aspire: The Leadership Development Podcast with Joshua Stamper
Better Leaders, Better Schools with Danny Sunshine Bauer
Focus 3 Podcast with Tim and Brian Kight
Future Focused Podcast with Kelly Croy
Jocko Podcast with Jocko Willink
Each of these podcasts tells an amazing story about what leadership is, ways to empower those around you, and the ability to find the passion within to be the type of leader you envision yourself to be.
I can’t explain how these podcasts have opened my eyes to what being a leader is, and have helped shape my personal philosophy in regard to school leadership. I am grateful for these individuals who are brave enough to share their stories with us.
