Finding Common Ground With Administrators for School Counseling Satisfaction

So often, finding common ground with your administrator feels difficult. You can't see eye to eye. You feel like they just don't understand where you're coming from and no matter how much you talk, no matter how much you try to convince, no matter how much you try to advocate, your efforts fall on deaf ears.In this episode, we'll walk through the essentials of establishing common ground with your administrator. Common ground allows you to work together efficiently, effectively, and with collegial respect, but as a bonus, this mutual appreciation will also strengthen your advocacy efforts and professional satisfaction.******************Our goal at School for School Counselors is to help school counselors stay on fire, make huge impacts for students, and catalyze change for our roles through grassroots advocacy and collaboration.
