#16 Blog: CACTE Closing Keynote Leveraging Change for Students (overview)

Finding Our Stride in Times of Change! Change is hard — but when we embrace it, it opens the door to possibilities we never saw before. Driving back from CACTE through the Rockies, I was reminded that change often feels like stepping into the unknown, but those paths can lead to powerful growth. As William Bridges writes in Managing Transitions, change is like a marathon. Leadership isn’t about sprinting ahead; it’s about ensuring everyone crosses the finish line together. The real measure of leadership isn’t speed — it’s how many people finish the race with you. In this episode, we discuss 4 keys to leading change well: - Get clear on the vision - Scale what’s already working - Build feedback loops - Stay consistent Links mentioned for show notes: - Blog: CACTE Closing Keynote Leveraging Change for Students (overview) - Colorado Association for Career and Technical Education (CACTE) - You can listen to my full talk here (on my podcast) - Book reference: Managing Transitions by William Bridges - Synergy Stick
