The Culture Shift Intensive

The 90‑Day Reset for School Leaders Ready to Lead Differently This Year

Imagine Leading This Year
Without Burning Out
✨

The school year has just begun. Maybe you’re excited about the fresh start.
Maybe you’re already stretched thin.
Or maybe — like most leaders — you’re feeling both.

Here’s the truth:
You don’t have to repeat the cycle of exhaustion.
This year can be different.

Not Another Training.

It’s a reset. A roadmap

The Culture Shift Intensive is a 90‑day, high‑touch program for school leaders who are ready to:

  • Lead from alignment instead of survival

  • Build a culture that supports both students and staff

  • End the year energized, not depleted

This is not another training to squeeze onto your calendar.
It’s a reset.
A roadmap.
And a community that has your back.

This program is designed for leaders who:

  • Care deeply about their people, but are tired of carrying it all alone

  • Know they want a new rhythm this year — not just more strategies

  • Are ready to apply what they learn in real time, not “someday”

  • Value emotional safety, connection, and sustainability in leadership

  • Are committed to showing up fully for themselves and their community

    If you read this list and felt a full‑body “yes”… you belong here.

How the system is breaking teachers 
by Sandi Herrera | TEDxPortsmouth

Every day, teachers across America walk into classrooms carrying invisible weight—trauma, exhaustion, and a system that expects them to be superheroes without support. In this raw and revelatory TEDx talk, Sandi Herrera unpacks the devastating cost of neglecting educator wellbeing—and offers a powerful framework for redesigning schools from the inside out.

From active shooter drills to emotional burnout, Sandi invites us to face the uncomfortable truth: we are losing incredible educators not because they don’t love teaching, but because the system is breaking them. And there is hope.

She shares how her Me. We. School Model is transforming campuses and lives, proving that when we prioritize those who guide our children, the ripple effect changes everything.
