Growing in Your Leadership and Developing Leaders Around You with David Hoffner

In this episode, Joanna and Angela sit down with David Hoffner, Director of the Office of Faith Formation at Minnehaha Academy in Minneapolis, to explore what faithful, grounded leadership development looks like in Christian schools.David brings a rare blend of pastoral depth, academic rigor, and practical wisdom to the conversation. He shares how his leadership style has evolved over nearly two decades at Minnehaha, what he looks for when identifying leadership potential in teachers and staff, and why he believes every teacher is already a school leader whether they hold that title or not.You'll hear him reflect on the biblical principles that shape how he leads, the habits that sustain him, and the advice that has stayed with him since his very first year in the classroom.This is the kind of iron-sharpens-iron conversation The Collaborative exists to create. Learn more about The Collaborative's Mastermind, a leadership community built for Christian EdLeaders who want to lead with clarity and grow in community: https://beacollaborator.com/mastermind/
