Here's What to Expect In This Episode:
Start with YOURSELF when deciding how you’re going to make the most impact on your students!
Most of us would acknowledge that “impact” is one of the biggest outcomes we value in being a school counselor. We want to see students grow as a result of the services our school counseling program provides.
In this episode, you’ll consider YOUR “WHY” and decide where you need to move in order to make that lasting impact with your students.
Topics Covered in This Episode:
- Recognizing the potential impact we can have that we carry/our school counseling program carries in our school
- Noticing your own perspective on your own growth- Is it something you want? Is it something you want to pursue?
- Evaluating the cost at which growth comes (what you give up in order to grow and learn)
- Why taking risks doesn’t always equal failure
- How taking risks can lead the charge and instill confidence in your program
- Why risk-taking might be the key to getting others on board with you
- Broadcasting your glows and grows with the “right” people including stakeholders, administrators, and staff
