Real Talk: Building Strong Leaders and Schools with Dinah McMichael

Leadership can feel heavy. The decisions, the pressure, the constant pull between your school and your life outside of it—it adds up quickly. In this episode, Sarah and Andra sit down with Dinah McMichael to talk about what it really looks like to lead through that weight and come out on the other side with clarity and joy. From building leadership across your entire school to creating a culture where staff and students take ownership, this conversation reframes leadership as something that doesn’t sit on one person’s shoulders—but is shared across the building. Because strong schools aren’t built by one leader—they’re built by many.   Listen to Dinah's podcast here and check out the awesome work shes doing here!    Dinah will also be joining us as a keynote speaker at Built Different, where she’ll go deeper into her leadership journey and share practical ways to lead with clarity, build strong teams, and find joy in the work again.
